Atlanta Falcons inactive for week 9 vs. Dallas Cowboys

ATLANTA – Despite being a limited participant in two of the three Falcons Week 9 practices (and a full participant Friday), inside linebacker Troy Andersen was listed on the team’s inactive list prior to the start of their game against the Dallas Cowboys at Mercedes-Benz Stadium this Sunday. Andersen was originally listed as questionable in the team’s Friday game report.

The Falcons have been without Andersen since he suffered a knee injury in Week 4 against the New Orleans Saints. With fellow inside linebacker J.D. Bertrand out all week with a concussion, the Falcons signed Rashaan Evans to the 53-man roster on Saturday to account for their lack of depth at inside linebacker behind starters Kaden Elliss and Nate Landman.

As for the other Falcons player listed as questionable on Friday, starting right guard Chris Lindstrom is available to the team ahead of the Week 9 game.

Lindstrom left last Sunday’s game at Tampa Bay with a knee injury. He initially told reporters in the locker room after the game that he would be good to go for Week 9, with head coach Raheem Morris confirming that the Falcons could have used Lindstrom again last Sunday but chose not to out of an abundance of caution. He should return to the starting lineup as the Falcons host the Cowboys.

Here is the complete list of Falcons’ Week 9 inactives:
