Atlanta Falcons coach Arthur Smith provided an update on injured linebacker Troy Andersen and the likelihood he'll return this season.
And in a third dose of bad news, Falcons coach Arthur Smith isn't optimistic that starting linebacker Troy Andersen, who suffered a torn pectoral late in Atlanta's Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions, will be back this season.
“I mean, I think it would be a long shot, but I wouldn’t count it out," Smith said."I don’t want to give you some false hope. Going back to my movie reference, the movie ‘Dumb and Dumber,’ ‘So, you’re saying there’s a chance.’ I guess there’s a chance.” In Andersen's place, the Falcons have turned to second-year pro Nate Landman, who's fourth on the team in tackles with 51, alongside incumbent starter Kaden Elliss.
By all accounts, Landman's done an admirable job filling Andersen's shoes - but the 6-4, 235-pound Montana State alum carries such a versatile skill set that his presence is still missed on Atlanta's defense.
