"FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons are going into their big game overseas with a banged up offensive line. Matthew Bergeron is "week to week" with an ankle injury, according to coach Raheem Morris, who said the possibility of Atlanta's starting left guard playing Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin "doesn't look good." Bergeron left the Falcons' loss to the New England Patriots last Sunday in the first quarter and did not return."
"Falcons right guard Chris Lindstrom also came out of that game in the fourth quarter. Lindstrom, Morris said, has a foot injury and is more "day to day." Atlanta's offensive line has already had its issues this season. Right tackle Kaleb McGary (knee) is out for the season and swing tackle Storm Norton (ankle) has missed the whole season thus far after surgery. Norton's 21-day window to come off injured reserve was opened two weeks ago, but Morris said Wednesday that Norton had a setback."
Matthew Bergeron is listed as "week to week" with an ankle injury and is unlikely to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin after exiting the Patriots game in the first quarter. Right guard Chris Lindstrom left that game with a foot injury and is considered more "day to day," with optimism about his potential to play. Right tackle Kaleb McGary is out for the season (knee). Swing tackle Storm Norton missed the season after ankle surgery, opened a 21-day IR window two weeks ago but suffered a setback. Elijah Wilkinson has been filling at right tackle. Kyle Hinton will start at guard, and Andrew Stueber was signed for depth. The Falcons rank 11th in pass block win rate at 66%.
