The 27-year-old hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2021, when he registered four tackles (two solo) for the Falcons.

  • Cut by Falcons

    Sheffield was waived by the Falcons on Friday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield was a 2019 fourth round selection of Atlanta whose role with the franchise declined last season. Although he missed time with a bad hamstring, he still only played 49 snaps on defense across nine games, compared to 524 in 13 games during 2020. He'll look to establish himself once again next season, most likely with another team.

    Sheffield (hamstring) won't play in the Falcons' Week 10 contest against the Cowboys, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield's 2021-22 season debut will have to wait, and the cornerback's next chance to play will come in Week 11 when the Falcons play the Patriots. Expect Sheffield to assume a depth role in Atlanta's secondary when he is healthy enough to return to the field.

  • Coverage struggles continue in 2020

    Sheffield logged five tackles (four solo) during last Sunday's 44-27 loss to Tampa Bay, and he closed the 2020 campaign with 51 tackles, three pass deflections and a forced fumble over 13 games.

    Analysis: Sheffield remains without an interception over 29 NFL appearances, as Atlanta tied for 24th in the league with 11 forced INTs in 2020. Meanwhile, he's surrendered an average 73.6 percent completion rate and a passer rating of 114.7 on 125 career coverage targets. The 2019 fourth-round draft choice from Ohio State will be under contract for two more seasons, as Atlanta continues to develop its homegrown cornerback nucleus of Sheffield, A.J. Terrell and Isaiah Oliver.

  • Active for NFC South battle

    Sheffield (illness) is active for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Despite sitting out the entire practice week, Sheffield has been cleared for Week 13. Sheffield slots in as the No. 3 tight end behind A.J. Terrell and Darqueze Dennard, and he typically plays around half of the defensive snaps per game.

  • Questionable for Week 13

    Sheffield (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Saints, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield was unable to practice all week due to this illness, which hasn't been linked to COVID-19. He has two more days to recover, otherwise he'll sit out for the first time since Week 3. If that happens, Blidi Wreh-Wilson could see more reps at cornerback Sunday.

    Analysis: Sheffield logged three total tackles on 32 defensive snaps during Atlanta's Week 12 win over the Raiders. He was not reported to be having any issues postgame, rendering his illness a new development as the Falcons open up the in-person practice week. The 24-year-old's defensive involvement has faded recently, with A.J. Terrell, Darqueze Dennard and Isaiah Oliver all receiving more snaps than he over each of the Falcons' past three games.

  • Good to go Sunday

    Sheffield (concussion) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old suffered the concussion last Thursday against the Panthers, but he was able to clear the concussion protocol with the extra time between games. Sheffield should fill his usual role in the secondary for Atlanta on Sunday.

  • Dealing with concussion

    Sheffield (concussion) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield's head injury has been confirmed as a concussion, so he'll need to clear concussion protocol to suit up Sunday against the Broncos. On the bright side, the second-year cornerback was at least able to get in a limited practice to start the week.

  • Injures head again

    Sheffield was cleared to return after sustaining a head injury in the first quarter of Thursday's game against the Panthers, but he re-injured his head in the second half and is now questionable to return, Jason Butt of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: If Sheffield misses the remainder of Thursday's game, Blidi Wreh-Wilson figures to handle starting duties at cornerback as he has done through out much of the contest.

    Analysis: Sheffield took a shot to the head from his teammate on the Falcons' first defensive play of the game and was slow to get up. As long as Sheffield is out, Blidi Wreh-Wilson is slated to take over at cornerback.

  • To suit up for Week 7

    Sheffield (ankle) logged a full practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup against the Lions, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield tweaked his ankle during Atlanta's Week 6 triumph over the Vikings, but he was able to return to action and garner 91 percent of the defensive snaps. The second-year man was forced to sit out the first three games of 2020 because of a foot injury, and so far he has struggled in coverage when active. Though Sheffield does own two pass deflections on the year, opponents are averaging an astronomical 15.8 yards per completion when throwing in his direction.

  • Back in action Sunday

    Sheffield (ankle) returned to Sunday's game against the Panthers, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Sheffield exited Sunday's game against the Panthers with an ankle injury, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old missed the first three games of the season with a foot injury, so it's at least good news that he didn't aggravate that injury. Blidi Wreh-Wilson should see more snaps while Sheffield is sidelined.

  • Decent 2020 debut on MNF

    Sheffield collected six tackles and one pass deflection while playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps during Monday night's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Though Atlanta's defense as a whole was torched by Aaron Rodgers, surrendering 327 passing yards and four touchdowns to the future Hall of Famer, Sheffield allowed completions on just 50 percent of his targets. The 24-year-old held Rodgers to a 67.2 pass rating when throwing in his direction, but with Darqueze Dennard (hamstring), Keanu Neal (hamstring) and Ricardo Allen (elbow) all unavailable for Week 4, the Falcons were no match for Green Bay's passing attack.

  • Season debut on tap

    Sheffield (foot) practiced fully Saturday and is expected to start Monday's game versus the Packers, Jason Butt of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield has officially been cleared to return after sitting out the first three games of the season. The Falcons' secondary is notoriously porous, ranking 31st with 350.3 passing yards allowed per game, and Sheffield will attempt to patch it up in his return to the lineup. Last season, he allowed a 110.0 passer rating and two touchdowns when targeted.

    Sheffield (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield missed Atlanta's first three games of the season due to a foot injury, but he now looks on track for Monday's upcoming contest against the Packers. Per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Sheffield is expected to slide back into his usual starting role at left cornerback.

  • Returning to practice

    Coach Dan Quinn said Sheffield (foot) will return to practice beginning Thursday, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Quinn expanded by stating the team will monitor Sheffield's progress during practice sessions throughout the week, and a decision on his availability for Monday Night Football will be made from there. Darqueze Dennard (hamstring) landed on injured reserve Tuesday, and rookie A.J. Terrell is currently on the Reserve-COVID-19 list, leaving Atlanta with a precarious situation in the secondary. This is certainly not an ideal week to be shorthanded, as the Falcons take on Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers,…read more

  • Expected to miss Week 3

    Sheffield (foot) is not expected to suit up against Chicago on Sunday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield has missed back-to-back games to begin the 2020 season, and it looks as though he'll need to wait at least another week before retaking the field. Darqueze Dennard stands to continue playing a starting role as long as Sheffield is unable to go.

  • Won't suit up Sunday

    Sheffield (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield's season debut will wait another week. His absence leaves the Falcons in a tight spot against the receiver-rich Cowboys, and Darqueze Dennard should maintain his starting role in Week 2. Sheffield will look to get healthy for Week 3's clash against Chicago.

  • Foot injury persists

    Sheffield (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Coach Dan Quinn has downplayed Sheffield's foot injury, but it forced the cornerback to miss Atlanta's first game. If Sheffield fails to up his practice participation as the week unfolds, he'll likely be out again Sunday in Dallas.

  • injury downplayed

    Coach Dan Quinn said Monday he doesn't expect Sheffield (foot) to face a long-term absence, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 24-year-old was inactive for the season opener due to the left foot issue he was battling during training camp, but it doesn't appear to be a serious concern. Sheffield's status for Week 2 against the Cowboys should receive more clarity once the Falcons return to practice Wednesday.

  • Officially out Sunday

    Sheffield (foot) has been ruled out of Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield battled this injury through training camp and was unable to practice all week, so he'll watch from the sidelines Sunday. Darqueze Dennard should see an increase in snaps with Sheffield out, and Blidi Wreh-Wilson could also enjoy a bump in usage.

  • Unlikely to go Week 1

    Sheffield (foot) is doubtful to play Sunday against Seattle after sitting out Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The second-year cornerback continues to sport a walking boot, leaving Atlanta with just one of its top three perimeter cornerbacks certain to suit up Week 1. Rookie A.J. Terrell (hamstring) was limited Thursday, making Isaiah Oliver the only member of the group who is completely clear for play at the moment. With Sheffield likely to be on the shelf Week 1, veteran Darqueze Dennard may shift out of the slot and see more snaps lining up on outside receivers.

  • Can't practice Wednesday

    Sheffield (foot) was a nonparticipant in Wednesday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Sheffield was spotted wearing a walking boot on his left foot at Wednesday's practice, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. When healthy, the second-year pro looks primed to handle a rotational role at cornerback, but he'll only have two more opportunities to practice ahead of Sunday's contest against the Seahawks.

  • Back at practice

    Sheffield (foot) returned to practice Tuesday morning, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The second-year pro missed a few days of practice while nursing a sore foot. Sheffield will compete for cornerback snaps with A.J. Terrell, Isaiah Oliver and Darqueze Dennard.

  • Misses second straight practice

    Sheffield was absent from a second consecutive practice session Saturday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: It has not yet been announced why Sheffield is not practicing, but an update on his status is expected from coach Dan Quinn shortly. The former Ohio State Buckeye logged 11 starts as a rookie last year, and based on Quinn's high praise of him this offseason, it seems he is slated to inherit a prominent defensive role for 2020 as well.

  • Garnering praise from head coach

    Coach Dan Quinn believes that Sheffield could develop into the Falcons' No. 1 cornerback, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "He's definitely somebody with the speed and short-space quickness to (become our best cornerback)," Quinn said Monday. "I definitely think he has a shot to do that, based on his speed and that I think he's going to continue to grow."

    Analysis: Some advanced metrics providers may consider the coach's assessment optimistic, as Pro Football Focus reported Sheffield as having the 15th-worst coverage grade among 114 qualified cornerbacks last year. He fielded 378 of his 697 defensive snaps in the slot and another 227 as a wide corner, but he'll have to improve in both regards if he is to match up reasonably against the myriad of Pro-Bowl caliber receivers within his own division.

  • Starts 11 games as rookie

    Sheffield (ankle) recorded 43 tackles, three pass deflections and a forced fumble across 16 appearances for the Falcons in 2019.

    Analysis: The rookie from Ohio State saw an uptick in playing time while Desmond Trufant was inactive between Weeks 6 and 10 with a toe injury, and he continued to remain an integral piece after Trufant went down due to a season-ending forearm injury Week 14. Sheffield fielded just 46 total defensive snaps over the Falcons' first five games of 2019, but from Week 6 on, he averaged over 59 defensive snaps per contest, logging 11 straight starts before succumbing to an ankle injury in the finale.

    Analysis: Sheffield has been a starter since Week 6, and he's recorded 36 tackles and three pass breakups over the last 10 games. The rookie fourth-round pick's season is over. Blidi Wreh-Wilson and Jamar Taylor are in line for additional snaps for the remainder of Sunday's divisional clash.

    Analysis: Coach Dan Quinn said Friday that he expects Sheffield to play Week 12, but a final decision on the rookie's availability will ultimately come down to how well he recovers from his illness. If cleared to suit up, Sheffield stands to play a key role in Atlanta's secondary as slot cornerback.
