COLEMAN BACK TO PRACTICE
Starting nickel cornerback Justin Coleman returned to practice Thursday for the first time since injuring his hamstring Week 1 vs. Chicago.
The Lions haven't activated Coleman off IR yet. They've just begun the 21-day window they have to make that an option. It's unclear if Coleman is in a position to be activated to the 53-man roster and play this week in Atlanta after so much time off and only two practices to prepare, but it's certainly a good trend toward potentially playing next week vs. Indianapolis at Ford Field.
Coleman is Detroit's best nickel corner and arguably one of the team's most consistent cover corners overall.
MERCEDES-BENZ STADIUM
I believe the Falcons have 90 minutes before kickoff to decide whether this week's game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium will be played under a roof or with the roof open.
"Well, certainly the roof being open and closed is interesting for us," Patricia said. "Just what does it impact, from sun or rain or wind? That will be interesting stuff that we're looking at from that standpoint.
"And then sometimes, we look at the month. Sometimes, what does it look like in October versus September, and kind of as you push along, things change with that. I think all that's part of the game and part of understanding the environment that you're going to play in from that aspect."
The early weather report for Atlanta Sunday is 79 degrees and partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of precipitation and 4 mph winds.
PLAYOFF PERCENTAGES
Since 1990, teams that begin the year 3-3 have made the playoffs 35.6 percent of the time, according to NFL Media Research. Teams that begin the year 2-4 have made the playoffs less than 10 percent of the time (9.5).
