The #Falcons are getting healthy, with G Chris Lindstrom (concussion) clearing the protocol and CB AJ Terrell (shoulder)

What happened: Chris Lindstrom has cleared concussion protocol for Atlanta ahead of the scheduled game. The update follows a week in which he missed practice time before returning to work.

Why it matters: The clearance settles a late-week question on Atlanta's offensive line before kickoff. It also caps a quick turnaround after Lindstrom returned to Falcons practice after his concussion absence.

By the numbers: Atlanta is 2-2 this season and enters on a one-game skid.

What to watch: Lindstrom's status should be reflected when Atlanta releases its inactive list before the game. The next checkpoint is whether he is in place for the opening snap.
