While both teams are looking to pick up a victory in Thursday night’s matchup, each may be without multiple key players due to injuries.

The Falcons have two players listed on their injury report, though quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. are not among them.
Of course, Tagovailoa and Penix Jr. missed the first two weeks of the season but they are both off the injury report and will be available Thursday night. Penix Jr. has been named the starting quarterback against the Packers while Tagovailoa will be his backup.
Atlanta has listed cornerback Billy Bowman Jr. as questionable due to an Achilles injury and there is a chance he could make his season debut Thursday night.
The Falcons have ruled out defensive end Samson Ebukam due to a hamstring injury that he suffered during Week 2 as he will miss his first game of the season.
Packers Injury Report: Will Jayden Reed, Aaron Banks Play?

The Packers have six players listed on their injury report, including wide receiver Jayden Reed and guard Aaron Banks.
Green Bay has ruled out Reed due to a neck injury that he suffered during Week 2 and there is no timetable for his return.
With Reed sidelined, Watson, Matthew Golden, Skyy Moore and Bo Melton could all be in line for increased roles.
The Packers have also ruled out Banks due to knee and toe injuries as he will miss his first game since Week 1.
