After the Atlanta Falcons signed A.J. Woods to the practice squad on Tuesday afternoon, it spelled trouble regarding Mike Hughes' future in Atlanta. The Falcons have a surplus of reliable players in their secondary, but after starting the season strong, Hughes has been viscerally terrible as of late.
In the Week 8 loss to the Dolphins, Hughes surrendered four receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown, as he was the defender in coverage on Jaylen Waddle's 43-yard touchdown in the third quarter, Additionally, he allowed a season-high 17.8 yards per reception in Sunday's 34-10 defeat.
