The Falcons will look to reserve linebacker Nate Landman to step in Andersen’s absence. In Week 3, Landman finished the game as the team’s highest-graded player, according to Pro Football Focus.
Atlanta will get some veteran depth on the offensive line in Norton. The 29-year-old spent his last three seasons with the Chargers, starting 15 games in 2021.
