Six tackles against former team
Landman recorded six tackles (two solo) in Monday night's loss to the Falcons.
Analysis: Facing his former Atlanta teammates for the first time, Landman's six tackles were his fourth-fewest in a game this season. The 27-year-old linebacker has started all 16 games in 2025, producing 129 tackles (62 solo), including 2.5 sacks, six pass breakups, including one interception, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries on 92 percent of the defensive snaps. All those marks are new single-season career-highs for Landman, who signed a three-year extension with Los Angeles last month.

Landman's practice participation this week will likely provide the best indication of his potential availability in Atlanta's Week 6 matchup against the Panthers.

Shifts to IR
The Falcons placed Landman (calf) on injured reserve Monday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Landman was set to miss Atlanta's Week 2 matchup with the Eagles after missing the entire week of practice with a calf issue, and he's now landed on IR. The Colorado product logged 110 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, while appearing in 16 regular-season games with the Falcons in 2023. Expect Atlanta to turn to Troy Andersen alongside Kaden Elliss as part of the team's top inside-linebacker duo, with Landman set to miss at least the next four games.

Won't play vs. Philadelphia
Landman (calf/quadriceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Eagles, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports.
Analysis: Landman was able to overcome a quadriceps injury to play in Week 1 against the Steelers, but he is now also dealing with a calf issue that kept him out of all three practices this week. With Landman sidelined for Week 2, JD Bertrand should see increased snaps at inside linebacker behind starters Kaden Elliss and Troy Andersen.

Opens week as DNP
Landman (calf/quadriceps) did not practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman ramped up his practice activity leading up to the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the Steelers, and he finished the game with six tackles (four solo). He'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of Monday's game against the Eagles.

Ready to take on Steelers
Landman (quadriceps) practiced in full Friday and does not carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Analysis: Landman began the week as a limited participant in practice, but he's ready to suit up Week 1. He projects to handle a rotational role at inside linebacker behind Kaden Elliss and Troy Andersen.

Won't be full participant
Landman (quadriceps) will be limited during practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman was considered day-to-day as of Friday, and his ability to participate at any level today should be considered good news regarding his potential availability Sunday against the Steelers. However, the Colorado product should still be considered questionable for the contest and would likely benefit from getting in a full practice Thursday or Friday.

Dealing with quad injury
Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Friday that Landman is day-to-day due to a quad injury, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman didn't play in Atlanta's preseason finale against Jacksonville on Friday, and Morris said after the game that the linebacker is dealing with a quad issue. It doesn't sounds like the injury is serious, so Landman could be ready to suit up by Week 1 of the regular season. Fellow linebacker Kaden Elliss (groin) also is dealing with an injury, which Morris also deemed a day-to-day issue.

Inks new deal
Landman re-signed with Atlanta on Wednesday, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman earned an increased role in his second season with the Falcons in 2023, appearing in 16 games (14 starts) while notching 110 tackles (66 solo), 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed, three forced fumbles and an interception. Now that he's under contract for 2024, Landman can likely be penciled in for a starting role within Atlanta's linebacker corps.

Steps up in 2023
Landman finished 2023 with 110 tackles (66 solo), three pass defenses, three forced fumbles, 2.0 sacks and one interception in 16 appearances.
Analysis: Landman filled in admirably for Troy Andersen, who suffered a season-ending pectoral injury in Week 3. Landman was an undrafted product out of Colorado in 2022 and made just seven appearances as a rookie, logging one assisted tackle while playing primarily on special teams. His ascension into a 100-plus tackler who flashed as a playmaker is remarkable, and he could parlay the strong campaign into competing for a starting spot in 2024, as the Falcons will almost certainly extend the ERFA a…read more

Lackluster in Sunday's loss
Landman recorded six total tackles (five solo) in Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Bears.
Analysis: Landman finished tied for Atlanta's third-leading tackler in Week 17, bringing his season total up to 100 total tackles through 15 appearances. The second-year linebacker had a stretch of seven consecutive games with eight or more tackles earlier in the season, but he's only reached that mark once over the Falcons' last five contests. Expect Landman and Atlanta's defense to try and rebound against a Saints offense that's averaging almost 27 points per game over their last five outings in Week…read more

Will suit up
Landman (knee) is active Sunday against the Panthers.
Analysis: Landman returned to practice this week after not seeing the field since suffering the injury Week 13 against the Jets. The Colorado product's return to action should be a boost for the Falcons' linebacker corps Sunday.

Returns to practice
Landman (knee) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman hasn't taken the field since suffering the injury in Week 13, so his return to practice Wednesday, even while limited, is a step in the right direction. The Colorado product will work to ramp up his activity level Thursday and Friday, but appears to be on the right track to play Sunday against the Panthers.

Missing Week 14
Landman (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Landman exited the Falcons' Week 13 affair after suffering a knee injury, and he was unable to practice all week, so it's not surprising that he'll be inactive Sunday. With Landman missing Week 14, expect Andre Smith to start at inside linebacker alongside Kaden Elliss.

Held out Wednesday
Landman (knee) did not participate in Wednesday's practice session, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman sustained a knee injury in Week 13 against the Jets. He was unable to return to the game and finished with five tackles (two solo) and a forced fumble. If Landman is unable to progress in his practice participation leading up to Week 14 against the Bucaneers, Andre Smith is the likely candidate to start at inside linebacker alongside Kaden Elliss.

Landman (thigh) has exited Sunday's game against the Jets, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman dealt with a thigh injury throughout the week, although he dropped the injury designation ahead of Sunday's game.

Set to play at Jets
Landman (thigh) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at the Jets, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman missed practice Wednesday and was limited during Atlanta's sessions Thursday and Friday, but he has the green light to suit up for Week 13 anyways. He'll be a viable IDP play Sunday, though the Jets' propensity to pass the ball could leave him with fewer chances than usual to make tackles.

Back on practice field Thursday
Landman (thigh) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Amna Subhan of the Falcons' official site reports.
Analysis: Landman alleviated some concerns about his availability for Week 13 by getting back to practice Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session. If he can manage to practice in full Friday, he'll probably avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Not practicing Wednesday
Landman won't practice Wednesday due to a lower-body injury, but it's not considered serious, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Analysis: Landman, who hasn't missed a game this season, has recorded 73 tackles, two sacks and one interception on the year. Fantasy managers need to monitor his status closely throughout the week, but the 25-year-old makes for an interesting IDP option against a run-heavy Jets offense in Week 13 if he's able to play.

Showcases playmaking ability
Landman notched eight tackles (seven solo), including a sack, and an interception during Sunday's 25-23 loss to Arizona.
Analysis: Landman recorded a sack for a second straight week and secured his first career interception. Since taking over for Troy Andersen (shoulder), Landman has been a tackling machine, totaling 63 stops over the last seven games, but he's now tapping into his playmaking ability, making him a strong IDP option moving forward.

Another strong showing
Landman recorded 10 tackles (five solo), including a sack, during Sunday's 31-28 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Landman recorded his first sack of the season on a trick play, taking down running back Cam Akers (Achilles). Since replacing Troy Andersen (shoulder), Landman has been a tackling machine, totaling 55 stops over the last six weeks.

Analysis: Landman racked up eight-plus tackles for the fourth consecutive week Sunday, and he forced a fumble for the first time in his career on top of that.

Landman recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Since taking over for Troy Andersen (IR-shoulder), Landman has led the Falcons in tackles, recording 25 over the last three games. He hasn't made any big plays or forced a turnover yet, but the second-year linebacker is emerging as a high-floor IDP option in his first extended NFL action.

Leads team in tackles
Landman recorded seven tackles (three solo) during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Texans.
Analysis: Landman, who's filling in for Troy Andersen (shoulder), continues to shine in an increased role. Over the last two weeks, Landman has recorded 16 tackles while playing nearly every defensive snap. The undrafted linebacker out of Colorado isn't a must-play IDP option yet, but he should be able to hold onto the starting job moving forward. Andersen hasn't been ruled out for the season yet, but he's expected to miss 4-to-6 months.

Career-high 10 tackles
Landman recorded 10 tackles (eight solo) during Sunday's 23-7 loss to Jacksonville.
Analysis: Landman drew his second start of the season in place of Troy Andersen (shoulder), and he shined with a double-digit tackle performance. It's unclear if the undrafted second-year player can maintain this type of production, but he figures to get plenty of opportunities moving forward with Andersen on injured reserve.

Expected to start versus Packers
Landman is expected to start at linebacker in place of Troy Andersen (concussion) in Sunday's Week 2 game against the Packers, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Andersen played 99 percent of the defensive snaps against the Panthers last week, so Landman has big shoes to fill. He's yet to appear in an NFL game as a second-year undrafted free agent out of Colorado. The situation should be a boost to Green Bay's running game.
