In terms of overall health, the Atlanta Falcons (2-0) will have an advantage over the Detroit Lions (1-1) when they face off in Week 3.

Both teams released their final injury reports on Friday and while the Falcons listed two key players as questionable, the Lions ruled out several starters ahead of Sunday’s game.

Detroit won’t have offensive tackle Taylor Decker, guard Halapoulivaati Vaitai, cornerback Emmanuel Moseley or safety Kerby Joseph. Plus wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds are both questionable.

The Falcons listed both Cordarrelle Patterson and cornerback Jeff Okudah as questionable on Friday’s injury report. Patterson sat out of Thursday’s practice with a thigh issue but returned on Friday.

Okudah was a full participant for all three days of practice, but he has yet to make his season debut with the Falcons. Check out the team’s updated 53-man roster, practice squad and depth chart heading into Sunday’s game against Detroit.
