Micah Abernathy is one of the four safeties on the Falcons' initial 53-man roster following Hellams' injury. As the team adjusts its defensive lineup, Abernathy is expected to play a role in the rotation, particularly with the influx of talent in the safety position, including the newly acquired Justin Simmons. His inclusion indicates the team's depth in the secondary, particularly as they navigate injuries. Abernathy figures to contribute on special teams and may also see defensive action, depending on how the situation unfolds.
