The Falcons placed Landman (calf) on injured reserve Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. Landman was set to miss Atlanta's Week 2 matchup with the Eagles after missing the entire week of practice with a calf issue, and he's now landed on IR. The Colorado product logged 110 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while appearing in 16 regular-season games with the Falcons in 2023. Expect Atlanta to turn to Troy Andersen alongside Kaden Elliss as part of the team's top inside-linebacker duo, with Landman set to miss at least the next four games.

Landman (calf/quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Landman was able to overcome a quadriceps injury to play in Week 1 against the Steelers, but he is now also dealing with a calf issue that kept him out of all three practices this week. With Landman sidelined for Week 2, JD Bertrand should see increased snaps at inside linebacker behind starters Kaden Elliss and Troy Andersen.

Landman (quadriceps) will be limited during practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Landman was considered day-to-day as of Friday, and his ability to participate at any level today should be considered good news regarding his potential availability Sunday against the Steelers. However, the Colorado product should still be considered questionable for the contest and would likely benefit from getting in a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Friday that Landman is day-to-day due to a quad injury, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports. Landman didn't play in Atlanta's preseason finale against Jacksonville on Friday, and Morris said after the game that the linebacker is dealing with a quad issue. It doesn't sounds like the injury is serious, so Landman could be ready to suit up by Week 1 of the regular season. Fellow linebacker Kaden Elliss (groin) also is dealing with an injury, which Morris also deemed a day-to-day issue.

Landman finished 2023 with 110 tackles (66 solo), three pass defenses, three forced fumbles, 2.0 sacks and one interception in 16 appearances. Landman filled in admirably for Troy Andersen, who suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in Week 3. Landman was an undrafted product out of Colorado in 2022 and made just seven appearances as a rookie, logging one assisted tackle while playing primarily on special teams. His ascension into a 100-plus tackler who flashed as a playmaker is remarkable, and he could parlay the strong campaign into competing for a starting spot in 2024, as the Falcons will almost certainly extend the ERFA a qualifying offer this offseason. However, Andersen was a second-round pick, so Atlanta will presumably allow him to retain his starting spot given the capital invested.
