Falcons right guard questionable to return with knee injury

Atlanta Falcons offensive guard Chris Lindstrom is questionable to return with a right knee injury.

Atlanta Falcons offensive guard Chris Lindstrom is questionable to return with a right knee injury he suffered late in the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Lindstrom has been an essential piece to Atlanta’s success in both the passing and the run game this season, but there’s some relief to be found in the way the Falcons offensive line has held up to this point in the game since he was sidelined.

He was originally selected by the Falcons at No. 19 overall in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft and has been an important veteran presence. Lindstrom has appeared in 709 games so far in his career.

The Falcons currently lead the Buccaneers, 31-17 at the top of the fourth quarter.
