Falcons Open Jordan Fuller's 21-Day Return Window After Knee Injury

Overview

• The team designated Jordan Fuller to return and listed him as a full participant in Thursday's practice.
• He remains on injured reserve as the 21-day evaluation window begins, allowing activation at any point within it.
• Atlanta currently carries three safeties on the active roster, so his availability would add needed depth.
• Jessie Bates III starts alongside rookie Xavier Watts, who has secured the other safety role.
• The Falcons' defense ranks No. 1 through six weeks as they face the 49ers on Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET on NBC.
