The Atlanta Falcons were already thin at the inside linebacker position before Troy Andersen went down during Sunday’s 26-24 win over the New Orleans Saints. Andersen led the team in tackles (17) and recorded a pick-six before suffering a knee injury in the fourth quarter.

Andersen did not return in Week 4 but head coach Raheem Morris will address the injury on Monday afternoon. The Falcons have signed inside linebacker Rashaan Evans to their 16-man practice squad, Matt Urben of Falcons Wire reports. This according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Evans, 28, was selected in the first round of the 2018 NFL draft by the Tennessee Titans. After spending four seasons in Tennessee, he signed in Atlanta as a free agent in 2022.

Evans started all 17 games for the Falcons that season, leading the team with 159 tackles (86 solo) while adding two sacks and two fumble recoveries.

The Falcons worked out Evans along with a couple of other linebackers when Nate Landman was placed on the injured reserve list a few weeks ago.
