The Atlanta Falcons take on the Detroit Lions this Sunday and could do so with a healthy roster. 

Starting cornerback Jeff Okudah made his return to practice as a full participant after being limited last week as he nursed a foot injury. 

Running back Cordarrelle Patterson who had been dealing with a lingering thigh injury is off of the injury report and practiced in full. 

Starting linebacker Troy Andersen is making his way back from a concussion and was also a full participant.

Injury report observations:

  • Andersen remains in concussion protocol and must clear all five steps in order to play on Sunday. 
  • Calais Campbell took a veteran rest day and should be back working in full tomorrow. 
  • Patterson participated in full last week but was inactive in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. Head coach Arthur Smith gave the run-around for Patterson's absence on Sunday, however, it is a better sign now that he's officially off of the injury report.
