  Jeff Ulbrich on Mike Hughes playing nickel last week, thought this was cool: “The fact that he's played 10 years as it is, you typically approach that guy and say, ‘Would you be down for this? Or what do you think about this?’ And it was like, ‘Whatever the team needs, coach.’”

• Beat writer The Falcoholic (Bluesky) ATL Mike HughesDB Oct 16
  The one thing the Falcons have to do when their secondary is healthy is get Mike Hughes out of the starting lineup. Among starters, he's tied for 3rd in the league in penalties, 3rd in yardage allowed, has given up the 5th-longest pass of the 2026 season, and is 15th in yards per reception allowed Show all

  I don't think we're going to see much of him Thursday night but I think he could be called upon to play a legitimate role as soon as Week 4. Even with Billy Bowman on the way back, Atlanta currently has Mike Hughes and C.J. Henderson as outside starters. That's not optimal!

  • Sep 13 Brooke Pryor (X) DK Metcalf has been called for two OPIs in the first half. That time he shoved Mike Hughes on his route. Helped free him up for what would've been a 19-yard gain.

  Two other things from the Falcons’ social media clips of today’s practice: - Tua Tagovailoa hit a pass to Drake London against Mike Hughes. So still first-team reps for Tua. No clue on Penix. - Jessie Bates III saw reps in team period, which he hadn’t done prior to this week.

  Clark Phillips III was in line for a backup role at outside corner for the #Falcons behind AJ Terrell and Mike Hughes. He had a solid training camp. Now, he's off to Chicago. It'll be interesting to see how many CBs Atlanta will keep on the 53-man roster.
