The Falcons’ other iactives are receiver Christian Blake, defensive lineman John Cominsky, defensive lineman Marlon Davidson and defensive lineman Tyeler Davison.

The Patriots listed 13 players as questionable on their final report Wednesday, but punter Jake Bailey (right knee), linebacker Ja’Whaun Bentley (ribs), running back Brandon Bolden (hip), offensive tackle Trent Brown (calf), safety Kyle Dugger (ankle), kicker Nick Folk (left knee), receiver N’Keal Harry (knee), linebacker Dont’a Hightower (ankle), offensive guard Shaq Mason (abdomen), cornerback Jalen Mills (forearm), tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder), linebacker Kyle Van Noy (groin) and defensive lineman Deatrich Wise Jr. (illness) all are active.

The Patriots’ inactives are quarterback Jarrett Stidham, running back J.J. Taylor, tight end Devin Asiasi, offensive lineman Yasir Durant and linebacker Ronnie Perkins. All are healthy scratches.
