Fafa Picault - Bags opener, exits holding shoulder Picault took two shots and scored the opening goal in Saturday's 3-1 win over Atlanta United. He exited the match in the 82nd minute after taking a blow to his shoulder.

Impact Picault bagged his first home goal at GEODIS Park to get Nashville off and running. He's been a revelation in the attack since transferring to Tennessee in the offseason, but he looked to be in quite a bit of pain holding his shoulder as he exited the match. His status is worth monitoring ahead of Saturday's cushy home matchup with the Chicago Fire.

Sapong transferring to Toronto, and he'll look to stay hot in Saturday's home clash with the Chicago Fire.

Jacob Shaffelburg - Scores goal off bench Shaffelburg scored a goal in 27 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 3-1 win over Atlanta United.

Impact Shaffelburg iced the game with his third goal of the season. He has fallen out of the starting lineup, appearing off the bench in each of Nashville's last three games. Depending on the severity of Fafa Picault's shoulder injury, he could return to the starting eleven in Saturday's home clash with the Chicago Fire.

Joe Willis - Saves one in 3-1 win Willis made one save in Saturday's 3-1 win over Atlanta United.

Impact Willis was unable to keep a clean sheet after allowing a PK goal. He's still among the league leaders with five shutouts on the season, and he's in a good spot to run that tally to six in a favorable home matchup against Chicago Fire on Saturday.
