Patriots vs. Falcons Tuesday injury report: Damien Harris, Gunner Olszewski return as limited participants

Deatrich Wise Jr. marked the lone absence for New England’s active roster.

The New England Patriots turned the page to the Atlanta Falcons with a walkthrough on Tuesday, and with running back Damien Harris and returner Gunner Olszewski on hand.

Both missed Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns while in the NFL’s concussion protocol and had been projected as non-participants alongside linebacker Josh Uche to begin Week 11. Amid the quick turnaround, all three have since graduated to limited.

Here’s the updated injury report for Thursday’s 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

DID NOT PARTICIPATE

Patriots

• DE Deatrich Wise Jr. (illness)

Falcons

• TE Hayden Hurst (ankle)
• LB Daren Bates (groin)
• CB Kendall Sheffield (hamstring)

New England’s lone absence from the in-stadium walkthrough would be Wise. The defensive lineman, coming off a 1.5-sack performance versus Cleveland, is dealing with an illness. Atlanta’s three sidelined on Monday remained unchanged on Tuesday.

The former New England rusher, receiver and returner stands with 776 yards and seven touchdowns from scrimmage this fall through 77 carries and 39 catches.
