Andersen (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Andersen was already ruled out for Monday's game against he 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.
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.
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.
Andersen (knee) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Andersen has missed six games this season due to a knee injury, but it appears he's on track to play against the Chargers on Sunday given his practice participation Thursday. Across five regular-season games, Andersen has logged 44 tackles (26 solo) and one interception.
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.
Andersen (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Andersen returned last week from his five-game absence but played just 13 defensive snaps and aggravated his preexisting knee injury. The Falcons will continue to rely on Kaden Elliss and Nate Landman at linebacker.
Andersen (knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports. Andersen aggravated a knee injury during the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Saints this past Sunday. He was estimated as a limited Wednesday, so his practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status for Week 11 against Denver.
Andersen will undergo a reevaluation Monday after aggravating his knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Saints, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. Andersen missed five games with the injury and although he felt well enough to return to action and suit up against the Saints, he ultimately ended up sidelined again. A clearer picture of his potential to play Week 11 against the Broncos likely won't come until later in the week.
