We’re getting tantalizingly close to the first Falcons football of the 2021 NFL season. Mercifully, OLB Brandon Copeland was the only player the inaugural injury report, as he was limited with a hamstring issue. One player did remain on the reserve/COVID-19 list, however: TE Parker Hesse. After placing CB Kendall Sheffield on IR, the Falcons left the roster spot open—and it appears they were saving it for Hesse.
Hesse has been activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list, meaning that he will be available for Sunday’s game against Philadelphia.
