Falcons LB Troy Andersen is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. He missed the past four games with a knee injury. Andersen graduated to a full practice Friday and said the day before that he was optimistic about playing this weekend. Of course, we don't know how much playing time an active Andersen would get. He has shared the field with LB Nate Landman just once this season, and each guy played half the game in Week 1. Andersen's best left out of Week 9 IDP lineups unless we get clarity on his playing time before Sunday's game. Landman's also not a safe fantasy play. He played 75% of snaps last week, with Andersen out.

Falcons LB Nate Landman is active for today's game against the Panthers. He hasn't played since Week 1, landing on IR with quad and calf injuries. He could be in for full playing time today, though, in a defense missing LB Troy Andersen (knee).

The Falcons on Monday designated LB Nate Landman to return from IR. He missed the past four games with a calf injury. Before going down, he split time with LB Troy Andersen in the opener. We'll see how playing time shakes out between them once both are back healthy. Andersen missed Week 5 with a knee injury. Landman's designation opens a three-week window for the team to decide when to fully activate him.
