New England Patriots, Atlanta Falcons release inactive lists for Super Bowl LI
Aside from a few injuries to guys like Rob Gronkowski and Desmond Trufant, the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons come into Super Bowl LI relatively healthy. There were minor question marks regarding Alex Mack and Julio Jones, but both are and ready to go.
Each team released its final injury report on Sunday ahead of kickoff (6:30 p.m. ET on FOX), and it’s mostly business as usual for Atlanta and New England. Both Mack and Jones are officially active for the Falcons.

As for the Patriots, Michael Floyd is the most notable inactive, despite the fact that he was expected to be all week.

His role for the Patriots the past two weeks was being a “scout-team Julio Jones,” helping New England’s defense prepare for what they’ll see from the All-Pro receiver on Sunday.

It should be a great game, as both teams have their top players healthy and good to go in Houston.
