Troy Andersen - Page 2 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Secures pick-six in win Andersen recorded 17 total tackles (10 solo), an interception and a pass defensed in Sunday's 26-24 win over the Saints.

Impact Andersen had himself a day against New Orleans, securing a career-high 17 takedowns in the victory. Additionally, he intercepted Derek Carr in the second quarter, returning it for a 47-yard touchdown. The linebacker was estimated as a non-participant at practice Monday with a knee injury and his status will be worth monitoring ahead of the team's matchup with the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football. Through four games in 2024, Andersen has compiled 44 total tackles (26 solo), an interception and a pass defensed.

Estimated as DNP Andersen (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimation, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters earlier Monday that Andersen was day-to-day with this knee injury, so it's no surprise he was listed as a non-participant on the team's practice estimation. If the 25-year-old can't upgrade to at least limited participation Tuesday or Wednesday, it'll be tough for him to suit up for Thursday night's divisional matchup against the Buccaneers.

Day-to-day with knee issue Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Monday that Andersen day-to-day with a knee injury, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Impact Andersen logged a monster performance before exiting with a knee issue in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Saints, racking up 17 total tackles and a pick-six. The third-year linebacker's practice participation throughout the week will provide a better indication of his potential Week 5 availability, but it appears he avoided a serious injury.

Season-high 12 tackles Andersen recorded 12 tackles (seven solo) during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact With Nate Landman (pectoral) on injured reserve, Andersen drew a second consecutive start and made the most of his opportunity on Sunday Night Football, finishing one tackle short of his career-high mark. Over the last two weeks, Andersen has totaled 21 stops and should remain a strong IDP option, especially in leagues prioritizing tackles.

Plays more sans Landman Andersen registered eight tackles (four solo) during Monday's 22-21 win over the Eagles.

Impact With Nate Landman (pectoral) on injured reserve, Andersen stepped into a starting role in Week 2. As long as Landman remains out, Andersen is a quality IDP option, especially in leagues prioritizing tackles. As a rookie in 2022, Andersen played more than 50 defensive snaps in a game only twice, totaling 19 tackles during those contests. He also compiled 19 tackles in his first two appearances last year but missed the rest of the campaign due to a pectoral injury.

SEPTEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Splits time in return Andersen managed five tackles (four solo) during Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Andersen appeared in only two games last season due to a pectoral injury, but he's back to full strength and ready to make an impact. Kaden Elliss played all 68 defensive snaps in Week 1, while Andersen split time with Nate Landman at the other ILB spot. Andersen also played 16 special-teams snaps, suggesting his limited work on defense wasn't due to a conditioning issue. If Andersen continues to split time, it'll be hard for him to generate IDP value. However, he's a playmaking linebacker who could rack up stats quickly if given an expanded opportunity.
