Falcons' Jake Matthews: Still working through ankle injury
Matthews (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Matthews sustained an ankle injury during the Falcons' Week 6 win over the Bills, but he was cleared to play in Weeks 7 and 8. He popped up on Thursday's injury report after practicing in full Wednesday, so his participation in Friday's practice will indicate his chances of playing against the Patriots on Sunday. Michael Jerrell would likely take over as the starting left tackle if Matthews is not cleared to play Week 9.

Falcons' Jake Matthews: Could play Sunday
Matthews (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Matthews began Atlanta's week of practice with consecutive DNPs due to an ankle injury, but after logging a limited session Friday, he's got a chance to return Sunday. However, if the veteran offensive lineman is forced to miss the Week 7 contest, expect Michael Jerrell to step in and start at left tackle.

Matthews suffered an ankle injury in Monday's win over Buffalo. It's not surprising that he is still suffering from the issue two days later, though Atlanta didn't have an actual practice Wednesday. Matthews has two days to get back on the field for a chance to suit up in Week 7 against the 49ers.
