Former Alabama safety DeMarcco Hellams, who was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the seventh round of the 2023 NFL Draft, was recently admitted to a preseason game after sustaining an injury. Hellams, known for his hard-hitting style and impressive performances during his time with the Crimson Tide, was expected to make a significant impact on the Falcons’ defense.
During the preseason game, Hellams appeared to suffer an injury while making a tackle. Medical staff quickly attended to him on the field before he was taken to the locker room for further evaluation. While the exact nature of the injury has not been disclosed, early reports suggest it could be related to his lower body, potentially affecting his participation in the remainder of the preseason.
Hellams’ injury is a significant setback for the Falcons, who were relying on his versatility and experience to bolster their secondary. The team is expected to provide an update on his condition in the coming days. In the meantime, the Falcons’ coaching staff will have to adjust their defensive plans, possibly giving other young players an opportunity to step up in Hellams’ absence.
