The Atlanta Falcons provided an estimated injury report following a walkthrough session on Wednesday as they prepare for their upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints. The report contained some positive updates for the team.
Inside linebacker Troy Andersen and center Drew Dalman were listed as full participants. Andersen, who has been sidelined for a month due to a knee injury, confirmed his intention to play against the Saints, saying he will "for sure" participate in the game. His last appearance was also against the Saints in Week 4 when he earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
