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 didn't practice Wednesday, was a limited participant Thursday and logged a full session Friday, so he should be full go for Week 9 and reclaim his starting spot at right guard.
