Lindstrom wasn't able to practice fully at any point during Week 10 prep while managing the foot injury, but his two limited sessions Thursday and Friday were enough for him to take a questionable tag into Sunday. The standout right guard has been deemed available following a pregame workout, and his availability should be a major boon to an Atlanta offensive line that will be down its starting left guard (Matthew Bergeron, ankle) for the first time this season.

Lindstrom (foot) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

Left guard Matthew Bergeron (ankle) has been ruled out, so the Falcons could be without both starting guards if Lindstrom isn't available to man his usual spot at right guard. Kyle Hinton and Andrew Stueber are Atlanta's backup guard options.

Head coach Raheem Morris told reporters Wednesday that Lindstrom (foot) is considered day-to-day, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

The veteran from Boston College suffered a foot injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 9 loss to the Patriots, so it's a positive sign that he's considered day-to-day. Lindstrom's practice participation throughout the week will likely provide the clearest indication of whether he can play in the Week 10 matchup against the Colts in Berlin.

Lindstrom sustained a foot injury during the fourth quarter of the Falcons' 24-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

Lindstrom was replaced by Jovaughn Gwyn in the late stages of the fourth quarter.

Lindstrom (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Lindstrom was cleared to return to Atlanta's Week 8 win over Tampa Bay after suffering a knee injury, but he stayed on the sidelines, allowing Kyle Hinton to get some reps.

Lindstrom suffered a knee injury in the team's Week 8 win over the Buccaneers, but the team opted to keep him on the sidelines even though he was cleared to return to the game.

Lindstrom (knee) didn't practice Wednesday, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

Lindstrom was cleared to return to Sunday's win over the Buccaneers after exiting earlier with a knee injury, so Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary.

Lindstrom was cleared to return in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game after being evaluated by trainers for a knee injury.

Lindstrom went to the locker room in the second quarter after hurting his ankle, but he returned to the field after halftime. His availability is a big boost to a Falcons offensive line that has been significantly thinned by injuries.

Lindstrom exited Sunday's Week 14 game against the Buccaneers due to an ankle injury and is questionable to return, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

Lindstrom's injury came in the second quarter, and he subsequently was accompanied to the locker room with team trainers. Left tackle Jake Matthews also suffered an injury in the contest and is questionable to return, leaving the Falcons with one healthy starter along the offensive line. Kyle Hinton entered at right guard after Lindstrom's exit and will likely close out the contest if the latter is unable to return.

The Falcons signed Lindstrom to a five-year, $105 million contract extension Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Lindstrom now becomes the highest-paid guard in the NFL following Monday's settlement. The 26-year-old earned his first Pro-Bowl nod as well as Second-Team All-Pro honors this past campaign, and he's now slated to remain in Atlanta through the 2028 season.

Lindstrom had his fifth-year option picked up by the Falcons on Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Lindstrom has been a starter at guard for the Falcons in every game he's played since he was selected in the first round of the 2019 Draft. The 25-year-old didn't allow a sack last season and should continue to hold down the starting right guard position next season.

Lindstrom is rated as the eighth-best offensive guard in the NFL through nine weeks of the 2020 season, per Pro Football Focus.

After missing 11 games last season because of a foot injury, the Boston College product is coming into his own in his second year as a pro. Lindstrom has played 100 percent of Atlanta's snaps on offense this season, with the offensive line allowing Matt Ryan to take more than two sacks in a game just once thus far in 2020. The 23-year-old has personally surrendered three sacks in his sophomore campaign, but he is yet to commit a penalty.

Lindstrom allowed zero sacks and committed just one penalty while making five starts during his rookie campaign out of Boston College.

The No. 14 overall pick suffered a broken foot during Atlanta's season opener against the Vikings and did not re-appear until Week 14, but when he was on the field -- albeit in a limited fashion -- he performed like a worthwhile first-round selection. The Falcons' ground attack vastly improved during the three games in which Lindstrom played 100 percent of the offensive snaps, with Atlanta averaging 103.7 rushing yards per game Weeks 15 through 17, compared to just 80.8 rushing yards per game in 13 contests for which Lindstrom was either inactive or limited. Entering the second frame of his four-year rookie deal during 2020, Lindstrom will work alongside fellow first-round pick Kaleb McGary to hold down the right side of Atlanta's offensive line.

Lindstrom is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings after suffering a foot injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

It's unclear how Lindstrom picked up the injury, but it's likely that the team will hold out their 2019 first-round pick for the rest of the game, considering the Falcons were trailing by four touchdowns when he exited. Ty Sambrailo could slide in at right guard as long as Lindstrom is sidelined.
