When the Atlanta Falcons played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 5, they did so without their two best offensive skill players. Running back Cordarrelle Patterson was placed on the injured reserve list with a knee injury and tight end Kyle Pitts sat the game out due to a sore hamstring.
While Patterson will be out for at least three more weeks, Pitts is set to return to the practice field on Wednesday, Falcons head coach Arthur Smith told reporters.
