Falcons' thin offense has Patterson inactive vs. Patriots
ATLANTA (AP) — Running back Cordarrelle Patterson is inactive for Atlanta against the New England Patriots on Thursday night, taking one of the Falcons' most productive players away from an already depleted offense.
Patterson will miss the game after being limited in the short practice week with an ankle injury. He tested his ankle on the field before the game before being ruled out.
Patterson is the team's leading rusher but has perhaps made his biggest impact as a receiver out of the backfield. Patterson has 39 catches for 473 yards and a team-leading five touchdowns. He has rushed for 303 yards and two touchdowns.
