Falcons LB Troy Andersen returns to practice Friday

The entire Atlanta Falcons roster was present at Friday’s practice, including linebacker Troy Andersen, who spent the previous two days in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

However, as team reporter Tori McElhaney points out, Atlanta does not practice in full pads on Friday. Therefore, Andersen’s participation does not mean he’s going to play against the Green Bay Packers this Sunday.

Troy Andersen back at practice with the Falcons on Friday. Should be noted though that Fridays are not a fully padded practice. Will know more about his status after practice when we get the injury report/game designations.

Cornerback Jeff Okudah is looking to make his 2023 debut after returning to practice this week. Okudah has yet to log a full day of practice, so we’ll know more when the team releases its final injury report following Friday’s practice.
