The Falcons have struggled in the secondary all year, but things are looking up a bit. Keanu Neal is rolling at safety, Isaiah Oliver is playing a bit better in the slot, and a healthy A.J. Terrell is a force to be reckoned with. Against a lackluster Broncos passing attack, Atlanta’s getting yet another boost.
Darqueze Dennard is now back on the 53 man roster after a stint on injured reserve, bolstering the cornerback corps. Dennard was rounding into form against the Bears when he got hurt, and if he’s feeling anywhere near 100% he’ll step right into a starting job and help out against Denver and (of course) in the coming weeks, with Isaiah Oliver likely getting bumped down to top reserve status.
