Falcons' all-purpose star Patterson allowed to miss minicamp

The Atlanta Falcons had a 100% turnout but not full participation on the opening day of their mandatory minicamp

Will be held out of minicamp Patterson won't practice during mandatory minicamp, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Impact Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said before Tuesday's practice that Patterson is "working on a vet offseason program" instead of participating in minicamp practices. The converted kick returner experienced a breakout campaign during his first year in Atlanta, totaling 1,166 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns and emerging as the team's top running back. However, he fell off towards the end of the season, registering just 100 total yards and one score over his last four games. A better-conditioned Patterson could garner more opportunities on a game-by-game basis and may be more effective later in the season, which would bode well for his overall fantasy potential.

Atlanta Falcons Have Re-Signed Weapon Cordarrelle Patterson The Atlanta Falcons have re-signed offensive playmaker Cordarrelle Patterson a day after they failed to land quarterback Deshaun Watson.

MARCH 19, 2022 • NESN.COM

Returning to Atlanta Patterson signed a two-year, $10.5 million contract with the Falcons on Saturday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact There was some concern Patterson's breakout season might price the Falcons out of re-signing the do-it-all threat, but the market for running backs never materialized, thus allowing the 31-year-old to return. The Falcons did add former Chiefs and Bears backup Damien Williams on a one-year deal, which theoretically could cut into Patterson's carries, but it's hard to imagine the former really impacting Patterson's targets given Williams is averaging 7.6 yards-per-catch across his entire career. Given Patterson has tallied a combined 1,455 yards and eight touchdowns across his previous four seasons, it's certainly fair to wonder if the veteran is simply a one-year wonder, but with little standing in the way from a depth chart perspective, Patterson at least appears to be the frontrunner to start next season.
