### Falcons Gear Up for Week 10 Clash with Saints: Key Players Set to Return

As Week 10 practices conclude, the Atlanta Falcons have taken critical steps regarding their roster, significantly affecting their starting lineup. Key players Troy Andersen and Grady Jarrett have been cleared to play in the upcoming game against the New Orleans Saints, bolstering the team's defensive lineup.

Inside linebacker Troy Andersen, who has been sidelined with a knee injury since the Falcons' Week 4 matchup against the Saints, has made a full recovery. Andersen participated fully in Friday's practice and did not receive a game designation, signifying his availability for Sunday's game. His return is highly anticipated, especially considering his stellar performance in Week 4 that earned him NFC Defensive Player of the Week honors.

Defensive lineman Grady Jarrett, a veteran presence on the Falcons' defense, also received good news this week. Jarrett suffered an Achilles strain during the Falcons' victory against the Dallas Cowboys. However, imaging done on Monday indicated no serious damage, allowing Jarrett to practice fully by Friday and avoid a game designation.

In contrast, wide receiver Drake London remains in a more uncertain position. London, who left the Falcons' last game due to a hip pointer, has been limited in practice throughout the week. Consequently, he is listed as questionable for Sunday's game.

With Andersen and Jarrett back in action, the Falcons are set to face the Saints with renewed strength on defense, while London's status remains a game-time decision.
