Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson a game-time decision

Atlanta running back Cordarrelle Patterson is questionable for Thursday night’s game against New England due to an ankle injury.

Head coach Arthur Smith confirmed Wednesday that Patterson’s participation will be a game-time decision when the Falcons (4-5) host the Patriots (6-4).

Patterson has been a limited participant in practice this week.

He sustained the injury in Sunday’s 34-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys and finished with 25 rushing yards and one catch for 14 yards. 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).
