Falcons Rule Troy Andersen Out; Rookie to Start

By Matt Schauf | Updated on Wed, 02 Oct 2024, 4:19 PM EDT

The Falcons have ruled LB Troy Andersen (knee) out for Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers. The quick turnaround obviously made it tough for Andersen to rebound after sustaining the injury Sunday against the Saints. Rookie JD Bertrand will start in Andersen's place. He's nowhere near the fantasy prospect Andersen is. We'll see about Andersen's status for Week 6, as well as when LB Nate Landman will be ready to return from IR.
