Bertrand (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Bertrand has yet to pass through the NFL's five step concussion protocol and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday. Rashaan Evans is expected to see increased work on the Falcons' special-teams unit with Bertrand sidelined in Week 10.

Latest Falcons News
JD Bertrand : Out for Sunday
Bertrand (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Bertrand has yet to pass through the NFL's five step concussion protocol and is now in line to miss his second consecutive game Sunday. Rashaan Evans is expected to see increased work on the Falcons' special-teams unit with Bertrand sidelined in Week 10.
Drake London : Looking good for Sunday
Falcons coach Raheem Morris said after Friday's practice that he "felt good" about London (hip) playing Sunday against the Saints, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. London is listed as questionable for the game after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. The optimism for Morris is a good sign but doesn't necessarily preclude a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.
Grady Jarrett : Cleared to play Sunday
Jarrett (Achilles) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play. Jarrett was injured last Sunday against Dallas but won't miss any games. The 31-year-old has logged 30 tackles (19 solo), including 2.5 sacks, on 65 percent of the defensive snaps this season.
Troy Andersen : Cleared to play Sunday
Andersen (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Saints and is expected to play. Andersen practiced fully all week and looks ready to return to action after missing the previous five contests. His return figures to send Nate Landman back to the bench, leaving Andersen and Kaden Elliss as Atlanta's top linebackers. Both should be busy against a run-heavy New Orleans offense missing numerous key wide receivers.
Kyle Pitts : Avoids injury designation
Pitts (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Saints. WR Drake London, on the other hand, is listed as questionable with a hip injury. Both London and Pitts were limited practice participants Wednesday and Thursday, but the tight end upgraded to full participation Friday while his teammate remained limited. Although fellow tight end Charlie Woerner has eaten into Pitts' playing time recently, Pitts had four straight weeks with at least five targets and 70 receiving yards prior to falling flat last Sunday against the Cowboys (one catch for 11 yards on one target). Any limitations for London would improve Pitts' chances to see more first-read targets and get back on track for fantasy managers.
Drake London : Listed as questionable
London (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. London missed the final three quarters of last week's game after suffering a hip pointer on an early TD catch, and he's now been a limited participant in each subsequent practice. Reports from Thursday's practice suggested he looked comfortable running routes, with London then saying afterward that he planned to play if the team would let him. The decision may come down to a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, with KhaDarel Hodge expected to pick up most of London's usual snaps if the star wideout ends up inactive.
Troy Andersen : DNP again Thursday
Andersen (knee) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice, 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. He's likely going to need some form of practice participation Friday if he wants to have any chance of suiting up Sunday against the Saints. Kaden Elliss and Nate Landman have been filling in at linebacker.
Kyle Pitts : Stays limited Thursday
Pitts (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. One day removed from being estimated as a limited participant due to a hamstring issue, Pitts officially had a cap on his reps Thursday as the Falcons got back on the practice field. He thus has only more chance to prove his health this week before the Falcons potentially tag him with a designation ahead of Sunday's game at New Orleans. WR Drake London (hip pointer) also is banged-up, so the statuses of the team's top two pass catchers is up in the air for Week 10 action.
