Patriots vs. Falcons injury report and starting lineup | NFL Week 11

Starting Week 11 of the NFL season, the New England Patriots will travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in a bid to boost their playoff hopes for another week.

This will be a game of two teams coming from entirely different exhibitions. The Patriots stomped over the Cleveland Browns in impressive fashion, putting up a 45-7 scoreline. The Falcons, on the other hand, suffered a heavy defeat at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys, losing 43-3.

New England are in great shape to make a return to the playoffs after missing last season's tournament, while Atlanta are only fighting for the seventh seed in the NFC because their conference is a mess. Still, this is a game with important playoff implications for both franchises.

With rookie Mac Jones up against veteran Matt Ryan, here's the injury report and starting lineup for both teams:

New England Patriots injury report

Player	Position	Injury	Game Status
Jake Bailey	P	Knee	Questionable
Ja'Whaun Bentley	LB	Ribs	Questionable
Brandon Bolden	RB	Hip	Questionable
Trent Brown	OT	Calf	Questionable
Kyle Dugger	S	Ankle	Questionable
Nick Folk	K	Knee	Questionable
N'Keal Harry	WR	Knee	Questionable
Dont'a Hightower	LB	Ankle	Questionable
Shaq Mason	G	Abdomen	Questionable
Jalen Mills	S	Forearm	Questionable
Jonnu Smith	TE	Shoulder	Questionable
Kyle Van Noy	LB	Groin	Questionable
Deatrich Wise Jr	DE	Illness	Questionable

No player has been confirmed to be out for the Patriots, but their list of questionable players is really, really big: 13 names, and they all had limited practice on Wednesday.

Although they have a lot of game-time decisions to come, no player was listed as out of practice. One or two should go down as out before kickoff, but expect this list to get smaller as the game approaches.

Atlanta Falcons injury report

Player	Position	Injury	Game status
Daren Bates	LB	Groin	Out
Hayden Hurst	TE	Ankle	Out
Kendall Sheffield	CB	Hamstring	Out
Jaylinn Hawkins	S	Ankle	Questionable
Cordarrelle Patterson	RB	Ankle	Questionable

The coolest story of the Falcons' season has been the rise of Cordarrelle Patterson as a running back. Patterson has been a huge difference maker on this offense. Meanwhile, Hurst has been nothing short of a disappointment since Atlanta traded for him, and his snap share is really low with Pitts now on the roster.

If Patterson is out, Atlanta will have a huge problem on their hands. The other players aren't much of difference makers.
