Once thought to be facing a long-term absence, safety DeMarcco Hellams appears to have dodged a bullet.
in the team's preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins on Aug. 9, most minds naturally went to the worst case scenario.
Falcons coach Raheem Morris said the week after the Dolphins game that Hellams will miss "significant time," but implied Hellams has a chance to return before season's end. The 24-year-old Hellams spent the summer competing with Richie Grant for the starting spot next to All-Pro safety Jessie Bates III, but Grant had the edge during training camp. Still, Atlanta expected to play both Grant and Hellams, rotating on a package-specific basis.
