      Damien Harris and Gunner Olszewski have cleared concussion protocol ahead of Thursday night's matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.

      The New England Patriots running back and wide receiver/return man both were removed from the team's injury report Wednesday after setting out last week's win over the Cleveland Browns with head injuries.

      Linebacker Josh Uche (ankle) was placed on injured reserve, sidelining him for at least the next three games.

      The following 13 players are listed as questionable for Thursday:

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

      Harris is New England's leading rusher, totaling 547 yards and seven touchdowns in nine games this season. Rookie Rhamondre Stevenson ran well in his absence, going for 100 yards and two touchdowns as the Patriots blew out the Browns 45-7. Olszewski is the Patriots' primary punt and kick returner.

      Smith missed the Cleveland game but made the trip to Atlanta.

      Versatile Falcons weapon Cordarrelle Patterson will be a game-time decision as he nurses an ankle injury, head coach Arthur Smith confirmed Wednesday. Patterson has played both wide receiver and running back for Atlanta, as well as returning kicks, amassing seven total touchdowns.

      Here is the Falcons' full injury report:

      OUT
      TE Hayden Hurst
      LB Daren Bates
      CB Kendall Sheffield

      QUESTIONABLE
      WR/RB/KR Cordarrelle Patterson
      S Jaylinn Hawkins

      Kickoff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium is set for 8:20 p.m. ET.
