Falcons LB Troy Andersen designated to return from IR
The Atlanta Falcons have designated second-year linebacker Troy Andersen to return from the injured reserve list, the team announced on Wednesday afternoon.
Andersen was placed on IR due to a shoulder injury following Atlanta’s Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions. The former second-round pick has 21 days to be activated or he must go back on the injured reserve list.

Nate Landman has played extremely well in place of Andersen, so it will be interesting to see what the team does when both linebackers are healthy.
The Falcons take on the New Orleans Saints this weekend in a game that could potentially decide the NFC South. If the Buccaneers lose to the Panthers in Week 18, the winner of the Falcons-Saints game wins the division.
