Andersen (knee) will start training camp on the active/PUP list, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was placed on injured reserve back in Week 16 of last season due to a knee injury, and it appears as if the 26-year-old is still dealing with lingering effects. The fourth-year pro can return to practice at any point during the preseason, but Andersen might be on the outside looking in as the team's preferred starter after the Falcons signed Divine Deablo this offseason.

Andersen (knee) recorded 47 tackles (28 solo) and a pick-six in seven games this season.
EDGE Analysis
The inside linebacker's knee injury forced him to end the campaign on injured reserve. In the three games in which he played on at least 76 percent of the defensive snaps, Andersen finished with nine, 12 and 17 tackles, respectively. Unfortunately, Andersen also ended 2023 on injured reserve, due to a shoulder/pectoral injury.

Andersen (knee) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was already ruled out for Monday's game against he Raiders, but he'll now be sidelined for an even greater length of time. Unless the Falcons make the playoffs, the third-year pro's season will be done, as his placement on IR will ensure he misses at least their next four games.

Andersen (knee) won't suit up Monday against Las Vegas, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has been dealing with the knee issue since getting hurt Week 4 versus New Orleans. He's played in just three of Atlanta's nine contests since and has seen his defensive snap count fall after getting off to a strong start to the campaign. With Andersen out again Week 15, Nate Landman could take on a larger portion of defensive snaps.

Andersen (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury, but the issue wasn't serious enough to prevent him from practicing in full Thursday. The third-year linebacker played just 16 defensive snaps against the Chargers this past Sunday, but assuming he's past his knee injury, Andersen should operate on a larger snap account against the Vikings this Sunday.

Andersen (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen appeared to be past his knee issue after logging consecutive full practice sessions before Atlanta's Week 13 loss to the Chargers. However, he played just 16 defensive snaps Sunday before practicing in a limited capacity Wednesday, suggesting that the injury may have worsened. Andersen's participation Thursday and Friday will likely offer the best insight into whether he can suit up in Week 14, when the Falcons face the Vikings.

Andersen (knee) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen has missed six games this season due to a knee injury, but it appears he's on track to play against the Chargers on Sunday given his practice participation Thursday. Across five regular-season games, Andersen has logged 44 tackles (26 solo) and one interception.

Andersen (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen missed the Falcons' most recent game in the Week 11 loss to the Broncos due to a knee injury, and Wednesday's limited session indicates that he's still nursing the issue. If the third-year pro from Montana State is sidelined for the sixth time this season in Week 13, expect Rashaan Evans to serve as one of the Falcons' top backup inside linebackers.

Andersen (knee) is out for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen returned last week from his five-game absence but played just 13 defensive snaps and aggravated his preexisting knee injury. The Falcons will continue to rely on Kaden Elliss and Nate Landman at linebacker.

Andersen (knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Andersen aggravated a knee injury during the Falcons' 20-17 loss to the Saints this past Sunday. He was estimated as a limited Wednesday, so his practice participation over the next two days will provide clarity on his status for Week 11 against Denver.
