Falcons' Troy Andersen: Contributes when healthy
Andersen (knee) recorded 47 tackles (28 solo) and a pick-six in seven games this season.
The inside linebacker's knee injury forced him to end the campaign on injured reserve. In the three games in which he played on at least 76 percent of the defensive snaps, Andersen finished with nine, 12 and 17 tackles, respectively. Unfortunately, Andersen also ended 2023 on injured reserve, due to a shoulder/pectoral injury.

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.

Falcons' Troy Andersen: Limited Wednesday
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.

Falcons' Troy Andersen: Still nursing injury
Andersen (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Andersen missed the Falcons' most recent game in the Week 11 loss to the Broncos due to a knee injury, and Wednesday's limited session indicates that he's still nursing the issue. If the third-year pro from Montana State is sidelined for the sixth time this season in Week 13, expect Rashaan Evans to serve as one of the Falcons' top backup inside linebackers.
