We have lost many great Falcons this season but one is expected to return. The Falcons can designate two players to return from injured reserve.
We generally expect Chris Lindstrom, the team’s first-round pick who suffered a broken foot, to be designated to return. However, a report from last month suggested the Falcons may keep him off the field even if he is healthy. The team has yet to officially designate Lindstrom to return from injured reserve but he has missed more than the required 8 games. Head coach Dan Quinn said Lindstrom was not ready this week but is “hitting all the markers” in his rehab.
