    FLOWERY BRANCH — Falcons safety Justin Simmons, who left the game Sunday against the Panthers with a hamstring injury, inside linebacker Troy Andersen (left knee) and outside linebacker Lorenzo Carter (concussion), did not practice Wednesday.

    Simmons played 58 of the 66 defensive snaps (88%) against the Panthers before leaving. Safety Richie Grant finished the game for Simmons.

    Andersen was injured on a special-teams play late in the win over the Saints on Sept. 29. He has missed the past two games, against the Buccaneers and Panthers.

    Running back Bijan Robinson (not injury related-rest), outside linebacker Matthew Judon (not injury related-rest), cornerback Antonio Hamilton Sr. (back) and inside linebacker Nate Landman (calf/quad) were limited.

    Rookie linebacker JD Bertrand replaced Andersen in the Bucs’ game, while Landman returned from a calf/quad injury against the Panthers and started for Andersen.

    Landman had eight tackles and two forced fumbles against the Panthers. He played 52 defensive snaps (79%) against the Panthers.
