Falcons' Dee Alford: Picks off Mayfield in Week 15
Alford recorded three total tackles (all solo) and one interception in Thursday's 29-28 win over the Buccaneers.
Alford nabbed a crucial fourth-quarter interception that set up a Falcons touchdown and pulled the game within one score Thursday. He's been an integral part of Atlanta's secondary this season, tallying 56 total tackles, 10 passes defensed, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble across 13 appearances. The Tusculum product is expected to continue operating as the team's top slot corner in the Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Racks up 10 tackles in return
Alford tallied 10 tackles (nine solo), a defensed pass and a fumble recovery Sunday in a 24-10 Week 12 win over the Saints.
Alford didn't play in Week 11 due to a concussion but was cleared in time to suit up Sunday. He ended up leading the Falcons in tackles while reaching the double-digit mark for the first time this season. Alford also had a fumble recovery early in the game that led to a Falcons field goal. The fourth-year cornerback will likely see a larger role moving forward with Billy Bowman out for the season due to a torn Achilles.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Cleared for Week 12 return
Alford (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Alford has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will return following a one-game absence. He could be used in the slot in the absence of Billy Bowman (Achilles), or Alford may slot in as a backup at outside cornerback.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Full practice participant Thursday
Alford (concussion) practiced in full Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Alford suffered a concussion in Week 10 against Indianapolis and didn't play against Carolina this past Sunday. He began prep this week with a limited session, then upgraded to full Thursday. Alford thus seems in line to return to action in Week 12 against the Saints, though he'll first need to clear concussion protocol if he hasn't done so already.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Still in concussion protocol
Alford (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Alford sat out Sunday's game versus the Panthers because of a concussion he sustained in Week 10 at Indianapolis, and he's still not back up to full speed as Atlanta begins Week 12 prep. He'll have to clear league concussion protocol Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Limited practice Wednesday
Alford (concussion) practiced in limited fashion Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Won't return vs. Indianapolis
Alford (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Colts, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Falcons' Dee Alford: Possible concussion
Alford is being evaluated for a possible concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Alford took a hit to the head in the first quarter of Sunday's game, and he is being evaluated by medical staff to determine whether he can return. He got the start at corner in the absence of Mike Hughes (neck), so the Falcons could opt to insert Natrone Brooks at outside corner or shift Billy Bowman from the slot for as long as Alford is out of the game.

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.

Alford re-signed with the Falcons on a one-year contract Monday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

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.
