  "account": "A.J. Terrell, the star cornerback for the Atlanta Falcons, is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. The cornerback participated fully in Thursday's practice and has been seen as a full participant by the team. Terrell had struggled during the Falcons' Monday night loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, particularly against Steelers wide receiver DK Metcalf. The team is aware that slowing down the Panthers' wide receivers, Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker, will be crucial in Week 2. In addition to Terrell, defensive tackle Da Shawn Hand is out for the season due to a torn quad. Cornerback Billy Bowman and guard Chris Lindstrom are in the team's concussion protocol but are expected to return for the Week 2 matchup.",
