Cordarrelle Patterson inactive for Falcons vs. Pats

Posted on | by Field Level Media

The Atlanta Falcons made running back Cordarrelle Patterson inactive for Thursday night’s contest against the New England Patriots due to an ankle injury.

Patterson’s participation was considered a game-time decision as the Falcons (4-5) played host to the Patriots (6-4), coach Arthur Smith said Wednesday.

Patterson was a limited participant in practice during the week after injuring the ankle in Sunday’s 34-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. In that game, he was limited to a season-low 15 snaps on offense and five on special teams.

Patterson, 30, leads the Falcons in rushing yards (303), receiving touchdowns (five), kickoff return yards (332) and all-purpose yards (1,103).

Also inactive for Atlanta were safety Jaylinn Hawkins (ankle) and cornerback Kendall Sheffield (hamstring).

Cordarrelle Patterson limited in practice for Falcons

Posted on | by Field Level Media

Cordarrelle Patterson was a limited participant for the Atlanta Falcons at practice Tuesday, calling into question his availability for the team’s Thursday night home game with the New England Patriots.

The all-purpose player sprained his ankle in the team’s 43-3 loss against the Dallas Cowboys Sunday, playing only 20 total (15 offensive) snaps.

Patterson, 30, has played in nine games this season, catching 39 passes for 473 yards with five touchdowns, to go along with 303 yards rushing and another two touchdowns on the ground.

Over a nine-year career with the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears and Atlanta, Patterson has totaled 3,880 yards from scrimmage with 25 touchdowns.

Safety Jaylinn Hawkins (ankle), who has appeared in eight games with one start, was also limited Tuesday, while tight end Lee Smith (back) and defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard (concussion) were full participants.

The Falcons also placed offensive lineman Josh Andrews on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, making his availability for Thursday’s game highly unlikely.

Andrews, 30, has appeared in just one game for the Falcons, seeing six specials teams snaps against the Dolphins Oct. 24, after starting four games as a member of the New York Jets in 2020.

For the Patriots, fifteen players were listed as limited on Tuesday. That includes such notable names as running back Damien Harris (concussion), kicker Nick Folk (left knee), linebacker Dont’a Hightower (ankle) and cornerback Jalen Mills (forearm).
