Atlanta Falcons safety DeMarcco Hellams and rookie linebacker Bralen Trice were carted off the field due to left leg injuries suffered during a 20-13 loss to the host Miami Dolphins on Friday.
Hellams sustained the injury on the second defensive play of the preseason game while in pursuit of the ball on a screen pass. His leg was placed in an air cast before he was removed from the field.
Trice was injured late in the first half.
“We had the two injuries in the game that I know about right now that felt bad,” Falcons coach Raheem Morris said. “I’ll have a better feel (Saturday) when I get a chance to let the doctor see those guys — that would be Trice and Hellams both being taken off on the cart.”
Hellams, 24, is expected to compete with Richie Grant for a starting position opposite Pro Bowl selection Jessie Bates III. Hellams had 40 tackles in 15 games (four starts) during his rookie season in 2023.
Trice, 23, was selected by the Falcons in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Washington.
