The Atlanta Falcons listed cornerback Jeff Okudah as questionable on their Week 3 injury report, but it sounds like the former No. 3 overall pick could make his season debut on Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Okudah will test his foot during pregame workouts and is expected to play if there aren’t any setbacks.

Okudah was a full participant in practice for all three days this week, but the team has been cautious with him as he recovers from a foot injury.
The Falcons acquired the former Ohio State star in a trade with the Lions over the offseason. Atlanta only gave up a fifth-round pick for Okudah, who’s still just 24 years old.
