Falcons RB Cordarrelle Patterson out, LB Troy Andersen returns

Falcons Week 3 injury report: Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) DNP Thursday, LB Troy Andersen out of concussion protocol.

The Atlanta Falcons got some good news and some bad news at Thursday’s practice. Running back Cordarrelle Patterson (thigh) did not participate, putting his status in jeopardy for Sunday’s game against the Lions.

Patterson was not listed on Wednesday’s practice report, so it’s a bit of a surprise to see him out again. On the bright side, linebacker Troy Andersen is officially out of the NFL’s concussion protocol and should be good to go for Week 3.
