The Atlanta Falcons have designated linebacker Nate Landman to return from injured reserve after missing four games due to a calf injury. His return raises questions about the playing time distribution between him and fellow linebacker Troy Andersen, who also missed Week 5 due to a knee injury. The Falcons now have a three-week window to fully activate Landman.

• Nate Landman is set to return from IR, potentially impacting the linebacker rotation.
• Troy Andersen's status is also uncertain due to his knee injury.
