Falcons release 2022 second-round pick Troy Andersen
Key Points:
- The Falcons released linebacker Troy Andersen on Friday morning after injuries limited his playing time.
- Andersen, a 2022 second-round pick, played in every game as a rookie but only appeared in two games in 2023 due to shoulder and pectoral injuries.
- A 2024 knee injury caused Andersen to miss the entire 2025 season, restricting him to 26 total games with the Falcons.
- During his time with the team, Andersen recorded 135 tackles, five tackles for loss, an interception returned for a touchdown, a half-sack, and a forced fumble.
- To fill the roster spot, the Falcons signed wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson.
