Andersen (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play. Andersen practiced fully all week and looks ready to return to action after missing the previous five contests. His return figures to send Nate Landman back to the bench, leaving Andersen and Kaden Elliss as Atlanta's top linebackers. Both should be busy against a run-heavy New Orleans offense missing numerous key wide receivers.

Andersen (knee) practiced fully Thursday Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Andersen has missed Atlanta's last five games, but coach Raheem Morris has continued to label him as day-to-day. Kaden Elliss and Nate Landman have been filling in at linebacker in Andersen's stead.

Andersen (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys, William McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports. Andersen upgraded to full participation Friday after beginning the Falcons' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions. However, his questionable designation suggests that he's still dealing with his knee injury in some capacity and could miss his fifth consecutive game Sunday. If Andersen can't play through the issue in Week 9, expect Nate Landman to serve as one of Atlanta's top inside linebackers.

Andersen (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports. Andersen has missed each of the Falcons' last four games due to a knee injury sustained in the team's Week 4 win over the Saints. He practiced in a limited fashion last week and has begun Atlanta's new week of practice as a limited participant once again. His participation Thursday and Friday is likely the best indication of whether he can return in Week 9, when the Falcons host the Cowboys.

Andersen (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Andersen practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week; however, Friday's injury report suggests his knee issue is still too much to overcome in Week 8. With Andersen set to miss his fourth consecutive game Sunday, expect Nate Landman to start alongside Kaden Elliss as part of the Falcons' top inside linebacker duo.
