Good news has been hard to come by for this year’s Falcons team, so I’m pleased to be able to share an unequivocally great update for our favorite squad. Rookie Chris Lindstrom will return to action Sunday against the Panthers, and fan favorite Matt Gono will be active and getting time at right guard as well.
It’s hard to overstate how important this is for the offensive line, which has been awful much of the year. With James Carpenter out, Jamon Brown and Wes Schweitzer fresh off yet another mediocre-to-terrible game against the Saints, and Lindstrom healthy, the time is right to take a look at two relative unknowns.
