Okudah is still looking to make his Falcons debut after initially getting injured last month. He got in a round of full practices this week and should be on the probable side of questionable. Okudah has extra motivation for this game after the Lions traded him to Atlanta this past offseason.
Patterson wasn't listed on the injury report Wednesday but then missed practice Thursday and was limited Friday. He was removed from the report last week before being inactive for a win over Green Bay, with his absence from the lineup possibly having more to do with the Falcons not needing him than his health. Whatever the case, Patterson apparently is bothered by his thigh again and now appears uncertain to play Week 3 for multiple reasons.
Andersen was unable to play in Sunday's win over the Packers, but the second-year linebacker was able to log back-to-back full practices and should be considered good to go for Week 3 against the Lions. He should return to his role as one of two starting inside linebackers for Atlanta's 3-4 defense.
Patterson has been tending to a thigh injury since mid-August that sidelined him for the first two games of the campaign. Still, he avoided the Falcons' first Week 3 practice report entirely Wednesday before popping up Thursday as a DNP. There's no telling if Patterson suffered a setback with the aforementioned health concern, but his status now will be one to watch as the week goes on. If Patterson isn't able to suit up Sunday at Detroit, Atlanta will continue to deploy Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier out of its backfield.
Okudah looks poised to make his Falcons debut Week 3 against his former team in the Lions after he was traded from Detroit to Atlanta during the offseason. He was initially injured back in early August during training camp.
It's unclear if Andersen has cleared the league's concussion protocol, but this puts him on track to return for Week 3 against the Lions after missing Week 2. Nathan Landman started and played 98 percent of the defensive snaps in Andersen's absence this past Sunday versus Green Bay.
Hughes was a healthy scratch for the season opener, but he suited up for Week 2 and handled return duties. Scotty Miller and Dee Alford shared those responsibilities in Week 1, so it appears the Falcons are still trying to figure out who their best option is.
Koo made a 24-yard field goal in the first quarter to open the scoring, but he missed an extra-point attempt after a Drake London touchdown in the second quarter. The veteran kicker bounced back in a big way in the second half and connected on all three of his field-goal attempts, including a go-ahead 25-yarder with under a minute left in the game. Despite the missed PAT, Koo remains a consistent and effective kicker in reality and fantasy.
