FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons cornerback A.J. Terrell, who did not play in the 30-0 loss to the Panthers, did not practice on Wednesday.

He suffered a hamstring injury late in the second quarter of the 22-6 win over the Vikings on Sept. 14. With the bye week coming up, the Falcons are likely inclined to give him two weeks to rehab and hopefully be ready to face the Bills on Monday Night Football on Oct. 13.

Cornerback Dee Alford started against the Panthers and played a strong game.
