There were no NFC South teams in action on Saturday, but it was still an eventful lead-in to Week 7. The Atlanta Falcons get a major boost in the secondary, the Carolina Panthers tweak their practice squad, and the New Orleans Saints finalize preparations for a historic regular-season game in Paris.
Falcons: AJ Terrell activated from injured reserve
Pro Football Rumors reports that the Atlanta Falcons (2-4) have activated starting cornerback AJ Terrell from injured reserve. The former second-team All-Pro had missed the minimum required four games before being cleared to return. Terrell is set to jump right back into the starting lineup on Sunday, giving a banged-up defense a key playmaker on the outside heading into the heart of the season.
Panthers: secondary help and a divisional showdown ahead
According to Pro Football Rumors, the Carolina Panthers (3-2) have signed cornerback Malcolm DeWalt IV to their practice squad. The move comes as part of the typical flurry of weekend roster shuffling, with teams locking in depth options ahead of Sunday’s slate.
On the field, attention shifts to their NFC South clash with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-5) in Week 7. CBS Sports highlights the matchup in its odds and predictions breakdown, noting that fans and bettors can use a Kalshi promotion tied to the game as the division rivals square off.
Saints: Paris preparations amid tightened security
The New Orleans Saints (2-4) are getting ready to take on the Pittsburgh Steelers at Stade de France in Paris. CBS Sports points out that Aaron Rodgers and Tyler Shough are set to duel at quarterback in this first-ever NFL regular-season game played in Paris, and details the prediction markets available for Sunday’s matchup on Kalshi.
In a separate report, CBS Sports adds that the NFL has closed its “NFL House” in Paris due to security concerns as the city braces for further protests. The Week 7 game between the Steelers and Saints, however, remains on as scheduled.
Buccaneers: looking to climb out of a 1-5 hole
There were no specific transaction notes for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1-5) in the available material, but their upcoming road trip to Carolina looms large. With the Panthers above .500, the Falcons and Saints both at 2-4, and Tampa Bay trying to dig out from a slow start, every divisional game takes on added weight as the NFC South heads into Week 7.
