Landman (neck) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Raiders, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Still nursing hamstring injury
Rotowire
Landman (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Landman played through his hamstring issue in the Falcons' Week 13 loss to the Chargers, recording four total tackles across just 17 defensive snaps. Wednesday's limited session indicates that the Colorado product is still dealing with the injury in some capacity, and he could be in jeopardy of missing Sunday's matchup against the Vikings if he's unable to practice in full Thursday or Friday.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Will play vs. Bolts
Rotowire
Landman (hamstring) was a full practice participant Friday and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Landman popped up on the Falcons' injury report Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, but he'll be good to go Sunday after logging consecutive full practices to end the week. In the six games prior to the Falcons' Week 12 bye, Landman logged 46 tackles (26 solo) and three forced fumbles.

Landman (shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Landman upgraded from limited participation Wednesday and Thursday to a full-go Friday, indicating that he's moved past his shoulder issue in time for Sunday's contest.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Now dealing with shoulder injury
Rotowire
Landman (shoulder) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Landman was able to overcome a calf injury heading into Atlanta's Week 7 game against Seattle, during which he registered five tackles (one solo). He may have picked up a shoulder injury in the process, however, which limited his participation in Wednesday's practice. Landman will have two more chances this week to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury tag ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Upgraded to full participant
Rotowire
Landman (calf) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Landman was limited in practice Wednesday due to a lingering calf injury, but he was able to practice without limitations Thursday and he should be good to go for the Falcons' Week 7 contest against the Seahawks on Sunday. Landman logged eight tackles (four solo) and two forced fumbles during Atlanta's Week 6 win over Carolina.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Limited Wednesday
Rotowire
Landman (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Landman missed four games due to a calf injury earlier this season, but he played through the issue in Atlanta's Week 6 win over the Panthers, so Wednesday's limited session is likely precautionary. Expect Landman to suit up for the Falcons' Week 7 matchup against the Seahawks unless he downgrades to a DNP either Thursday or Friday.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Suiting up
Rotowire
Landman (calf) is active Sunday against the Panthers.
Landman spent a minimum of four games on injured reserve and was activated Saturday. His return should be a boon for the Falcons' linebacker corps who remain without Troy Andersen (knee).

Falcons' Nate Landman: Coming off IR
Rotowire
Atlanta activated Landman (calf) from injured reserve Saturday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Landman landed on IR in mid-September after injuring his calf in Week 1 against Pittsburgh. The linebacker has since missed the required four contests, and he was able to log a trio of limited practices this week. He's officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, but the Falcons' decision to add him back to the 53-man roster likely hints that he's trending toward playing. Assuming Landman suits up, his return would help shore up a linebacker corps that will be without Troy Andersen (knee) for a second straight week.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Landman (calf) is questionable for Sunday's game against Carolina, Will McFadden of Atlanta's official site reports.
Landman is still on injured reserve, but there's a chance he gets activated off it for Atlanta's Week 6 matchup. The 6-foot-3 linebacker hasn't played since the Falcons' season opener, during which he logged six tackles (four solo) and saw 56 percent of the team's defensive snaps.
Landman (calf) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
This was Landman's first practice since being designated to return from injured reserve Monday, and he will likely need to upgrade to full participation either Thursday or Friday in order to suit up for the Falcons' Week 6 matchup against the Panthers. If Landman isn't activated to the Falcons' active roster by the time of Sunday's contest, expect Troy Andersen (knee) or JD Bertrand to serve as Atlanta's top right inside linebacker.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Practice window opens
Rotowire
Landman (calf) was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Landman recorded seven total tackles across 37 defensive snaps in the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Steelers before sustaining a calf injury that landed him on IR. Now that the 25-year-old's practice window has been opened, the Falcons have 21 days to activate him to the 53-man roster before he reverts back to IR. Landman's practice participation this week will likely provide the best indication of his potential availability in Atlanta's Week 6 matchup against the Panthers.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Won't play vs. Philadelphia
Rotowire
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.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Won't be full participant
Rotowire
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' Nate Landman: Dealing with quad injury
Rotowire
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.

Falcons' Nate Landman: Steps up in 2023
Rotowire
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.
