Troy Andersen

Falcons placed LB Troy Andersen (knee) on injured reserve.

It will end his regular season, at the very least. The Falcons third-year linebacker has been struggling with this knee issue all season, already serving an IR stint for it after Week 4. Andersen had played 29 snaps in Week 14 — his most since Week 4 — but will now miss at least the next four games. It’s possible that it shuts him down for the playoffs as well given the chronic nature of the issue. Andersen’s regular season ends with a 63.5 PFF run defense grade in 287 snaps. He had 47 combined tackles and one interception.
