Falcons LB Nate Landman returns to practice

Falcons LB Nate Landman returned to practice Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday

After sitting out of Wednesday’s practice due to a thigh injury, Atlanta Falcons linebacker Nate Landman returned on Thursday, according to team reporter Terrin Waack.

Running back Cordarrelle Patterson and defensive lineman Calais Campbell were also back out there following a rest day.

Left tackle Jake Matthews was limited on Wednesday due to a hip injury, so we’ll have to wait until Thursday’s injury report comes out to learn his official status.

The Falcons will face off against the New York Jets this weekend on the road. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is back practicing with the team just 11 weeks after suffering an Achilles injury.

While it seems unlikely, there appears to be an outside shot the 39-year-old will make his return on Sunday. In the meantime, check out our latest batch of NFL power rankings going into Week 13.

Just a few hours after defensive coordinator Dean Pees announced his retirement, the Falcons signed 18 players to reserve/future contracts. Linebacker Nate Landman and guard Justin Shaffer were among those initially signed.

Falcons sign LB Nate Landman to practice squad

The #Falcons have brought Nate Landman back to Atlanta, signing the linebacker to their practice squad on Tuesday

There was a bit of a domino effect created once the Atlanta Falcons made the decision to bench quarterback Marcus Mariota for rookie Desmond Ridder.

As head coach Arthur Smith explained on Monday, Mariota is opting to have a chronic knee issue looked at and will likely be placed on the injured reserve list. Without a backup quarterback, the Falcons signed Logan Woodside off of the Titans’ practice squad over the weekend.

However, Atlanta was forced to waive linebacker Nate Landman in order to free up a roster spot for Woodside. Landman, an undrafted free agent out of Colorado who made the roster out of training camp, cleared waivers and has since signed with the Falcons’ practice squad.

The team also released Parker Ferguson to make room for Landman, and waived running back Damien Williams on Tuesday.
