The Falcons will look to reserve linebacker Nate Landman to step in Andersen’s absence. In Week 3, Landman finished the game as the team’s highest-graded player, according to Pro Football Focus.
Norton, 29, spent the last three seasons with the Chargers, starting 15 games in 2021. The veteran swing tackle adds some much-needed depth to Atlanta’s offensive line.
