  • Falcons' Troy Andersen: Lands on IR

    Andersen (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday.

    Andersen was already ruled out for Monday's game against the Raiders, but he'll now be sidelined for an even greater length of time. Unless the Falcons make the playoffs, the third-year pro's season will be done, as his placement on IR will ensure he misses at least their next four games.

  • Falcons' Troy Andersen: Ruled out for Week 15

    Andersen (knee) won't suit up Monday against Las Vegas, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

    Andersen has been dealing with the knee issue since getting hurt Week 4 versus New Orleans. He's played in just three of Atlanta's nine contests since and has seen his defensive snap count fall after getting off to a strong start to the campaign. With Andersen out again Week 15, Nate Landman could take on a larger portion of defensive snaps.

  • Falcons' Troy Andersen: Logs full practice Thursday

    Andersen (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Andersen was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but the issue wasn't serious enough to prevent him from practicing in full Thursday. The third-year linebacker played just 16 defensive snaps against the Chargers this past Sunday, but assuming he's past his knee injury, Andersen should operate on a larger snap account against the Vikings this Sunday.

    Andersen (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Andersen appeared to be past his knee issue after logging consecutive full practice sessions before Atlanta's Week 13 loss to the Chargers. However, he played just 16 defensive snaps Sunday before practicing in a limited capacity Wednesday, suggesting that the injury may have worsened. Andersen's participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can suit up in Week 14, when the Falcons face the Vikings.
