Andersen (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Andersen returned last week from his five-game absence but played just 13 defensive snaps and aggravated his preexisting knee injury. The Falcons will continue to rely on Kaden Elliss and Nate Landman at linebacker.
-
Andersen (knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Andersen aggravated a knee injury during the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Saints this past Sunday. He was estimated as a limited Wednesday, so his practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status for Week 11 against Denver.

Andersen will undergo a reevaluation Monday after aggravating his knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Andersen missed five games with the injury, and although he felt well enough to return to action and suit up against the Saints, he ultimately ended up sidelined again. A clearer picture of his chances of playing Week 11 against the Broncos likely won't come until later in the week.

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.
