The Atlanta Falcons have bolstered their backfield for Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers by activating running back Cordarrelle Patterson from injured reserveNOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Cordarrelle Patterson - Will be activated off IR Patterson (knee) will be activated off injured reserve and is set to play against the Chargers on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Impact Patterson practiced all week, setting the stage for the multi-faceted back to make his return after the minimum four games. The Chargers allow a league-high 5.7 yards per carry through nine games, which should set the stage for the veteran to make a dominant return. Expect the Falcons to still incorporate Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley into the mix somewhat. Patterson averaged about 60 percent of the offensive snaps prior to the Week 4 injury.

The third-year safety has stepped up as a starter this season, posting 43 tackles, three pass defenses, one interception and one forced fumble across seven appearances.

Cordarrelle Patterson - No decision before Saturday Coach Arthur Smith said the Falcons will wait until Saturday to make a decision on Patterson (knee) returning for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons'...
Impact Patterson returned to practice Wednesday and was designated to return from injured reserve. He's apparently avoided setbacks with the knee issue that required a minor procedure in early October, but the Falcons aren't yet ready to commit (as of Friday) to placing him back on the active roster. If that does end up happening, Patterson will take aim at a struggling Chargers defense that's given up a league-worst 5.7 YPC this season.

Rashad Fenton - Isn't listed on injury report Fenton, who was dealing with a hamstring issue before being traded to the Falcons on Tuesday, isn't listed on Atlanta's injury report.
Impact Before being traded to the Falcons on Tuesday, Fenton had missed each of his previous two contests with the Chiefs due to a hamstring injury. However, the 25-year-old wasn't listed on the Falcons' injury report Thursday, suggesting the issue is now likely a thing of the past. Fenton is expected to operate as the team's No. 3 cornerback for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign behind A.J. Terrell (hamstring) and Darren Hall, but he could see a bump in snaps Sunday versus the Chargers if Terrell is unable to gain medical clearance before the weekend.
