  • HC Arthur Smith said during Monday's presser that Okudah was "trending in the right direction", which was proven today, though he was limited. 
  • Smith and Campbell don't have injuries and should return to practice tomorrow. 
  • Patterson is back in full after being limited all last week.   
  • And the Falcons will wear their red throwback helmets this week.
