Cordarrelle Patterson Inactive For Thursday Night

Atlanta Falcons running back/wide receiver Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is inactive for Thursday's game against the New England Patriots.

Cordarrelle Patterson Unlikely To Play Thursday

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said on the Gresh & Keefe show on WEEI that Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) is fighting "an uphill battle" to play on Thursday night against the New England Patriots.

Atlanta Falcons running back Wayne Gallman, who remains the team's No. 3 back behind Cordarrelle Patterson and Mike Davis, saw a season-high 15 carries in the Week 10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and had a team-high 55 yards. However, that was by design with a short week coming up. "We know we have to […]

Cordarrelle Patterson Will Be A Game-Time Decision

Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that running back Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) will be a game-time decision for Thursday night's game against the New England Patriots.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Hayden Hurst (ankle) didn't practice Tuesday. He's now missed back-to-back practices, and his status for Thursday Night Football against the New England Patriots is in question.
