Jake Matthews News
Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews (knee) injured his knee during the second quarter of Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and is questionable to return. The Falcons were already missing two starting offensive linemen in Kaleb McGary and Drew Dalman so losing Matthews adds to the misery. It could be tough sledding for Falcons QB Desmond Ridder the rest of the way. The team should provide an update on Matthews following the game.
Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews is active on Thursday night against the Carolina Panthers after a busy day. Matthews flew back to Atlanta Thursday morning for the birth of his first child but had time to fly back to Carolina in time to be active for the Week 10 contest. The 30-year-old has been a key cog to a successful four-headed Falcons rushing attack in 2022 consisting of running backs Cordarrelle Patterson, Tyler Allgeier and Caleb Huntley and quarterback Marcus Mariota. Matthews being active is good news for a Falcons team that is looking to stay in first place in the NFC South division.
Atlanta Falcons left tackle Jake Matthews has headed back to Atlanta on Thursday for his wife's delivery of his first child. However, the hope is to have Matthews back in time for the Thursday night game against the Carolina Panthers. Matthews has been a key cog for Atlanta's four-headed rushing attack this year as well as for the protection of quarterback Marcus Mariota, so they'll certainly hope he can play in Week 10. The Falcons are the only team in the NFL to have four different players with 250-plus rushing yards and 60-plus carries. If Matthews is unable to return to Carolina in time for kickoff on Thursday Night Football, it will be a downgrade for Atlanta's offense as they look to beat the Panthers for the second time in three weeks.
