Falcons' Dee Alford: Logs sack versus Dolphins
Alford tallied five solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, in the Falcons' loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.
Alford was one of Atlanta's few bright spots during the loss, recording the team's lone sack of Tua Tagovailoa. Across seven games played, the 27-year-old has logged 24 tackles (19 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and an interception. He will look to add to his totals during the Week 9 matchup versus the Patriots.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Minimal role in Week 7
Alford recorded one tackle (one solo) during Sunday's 20-10 loss at San Francisco.
The 49ers ran the ball on 59 percent of their offensive snaps in Week 7, so Alford was only on the field for 22 plays on defense, limiting his opportunities. With a pass-dependent Dolphins attack on tap for Week 8, Alford is set up nicely for a bounce-back game.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Picks off Allen in Week 6 win
Alford tallied six tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three pass defenses (including one interception) during the Falcons' 24-14 win over the Bills on Monday.
Alford registered his first interception (and second of his four-year NFL career) late in the first half, which put the Falcons at midfield with a chance to extend their 14-point lead heading into halftime. He also took down Josh Allen for a 15-yard sack early in the second quarter, which was Alford's first since Week 4 of the 2024 campaign. Alford is up to 18 tackles (13 solo) and five pass defenses through the first five games of the regular season.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Re-signs with Atlanta
Alford re-signed with the Falcons on a one-year contract Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
The Falcons opted not to tender Alford as a restricted rights free agent in March, which made the 27-year-old cornerback an unrestricted free agent. After testing the market, Alford has decided to return to Atlanta, where he made 11 starts last season, posting 11 passes defensed and 83 tackles (61 solo) in 16 appearances.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Will be unrestricted free agent
Atlanta will not tender Alford's contract, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Alford is coming off a season in which he set a career high in tackles (83), though that may partially have been a function of his being less dominant in coverage than he was during his first two years as a pro. He'll be free to make a deal with any bidder when the legal tampering period begins on March 10.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Sets new career highs
Alford finished with 83 tackles (61 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 11 pass breakups and a forced fumble, all career-best marks, across 16 games in 2024.
The slot cornerback also played on a majority of the defensive snaps in 12 of his 16 games. In 2022, Alford signed a three-year, $2.57 million contract with the Falcons. Now, he'll become a restricted free agent, meaning Atlanta can match any offer from another team.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Cleared to play Sunday
Alford (groin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Alford has missed just one game this season and enters Week 18 with 76 tackles (56 solo), including 1.0 sacks, 10 pass breakups and one forced fumble as one of Atlanta's starting outside cornerbacks. Sunday's Week 18 contest has playoff implications for the Falcons, who are still alive for the NFC South title.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Limited to open week
Alford (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Alford logged six tackles (three solo) and played a season-high 72 snaps (66 on defense, six on special teams) during the Falcons' Week 17 loss to the Commanders. It appears the 27-year-old corner may have injured his groin during the game, which limited him in the Falcons' first official practice of the week. He'll have two more days this week to increase his practice participation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Panthers. Alford has logged 76 tackles (56 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced across 15 regular-season games.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Past hamstring injury
Alford (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's practice report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Alford was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury that forced him to be sidelined against the Broncos in Week 11, but he looks to be on track to play Sunday against the Chargers. Through 10 regular-season games, Alford has logged 54 tackles (43 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and six passes defensed.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Opens week with limited work
Alford (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Alford was sidelined for Atlanta's Week 11 loss to the Broncos after sustaining a hamstring injury the game prior. He had some additional recovery time with the Falcons' Week 12 bye; however, Wednesday's limited session suggests he's still dealing with the issue. Alford's practice participation Thursday and Friday will offer the best insight into whether he can return for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Out for Sunday
Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Friday that Alford (hamstring) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Broncos, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.
Alford's absence Sunday comes as no surprise, as the Tusculum product was unable to practice all week after sustaining a hamstring injury in the Falcons' Week 10 loss to the Saints. Atlanta's cornerback room is expected to be headlined by A.J. Terrell, Kevin King and Clark Phillips with Alford, Mike Hughes (neck) and Antonio Hamilton (pectoral) all sidelined for Week 11.

Falcons' Dee Alford: DNP on Wednesday
Alford (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
Alford played just 21 total snaps (15 defensive and six on special teams) and recorded one tackle before exiting Sunday's loss to the Saints with a hamstring injury. If 27-year-old is unable to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday, he'll likely miss the Falcons' Week 11 matchup against the Broncos.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Healthy for Week 6
Alford (concussion) holds no injury designation for Sunday's game against Carolina.
Alford left last Thursday's matchup against the Buccaneers early with a concussion, but it appears he's healed and ready to take on the Panthers this Sunday. The 5-foot-11 cornerback has 29 tackles (22 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defended so far this season.
