Falcons Cut Troy Andersen After Injury Struggles | Atlanta Falcons News

The Atlanta Falcons have cut ties with linebacker Troy Andersen, a second-round pick from 2022 who showed explosive potential—including a career-high 16 tackles and an interception return for a TD—before injuries derailed his rookie season and kept him sidelined all of 2025. Placed on the PUP list and never activated, his final year of contract was paused, prompting the new coaching staff to move on before training camp. With Kristian Wilkerson signed as a WR in a corresponding move, Andersen enters free agency hoping another team will bet on his upside despite his injury history. A promising talent whose health issues ultimately doomed his Falcons tenure. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
