Drake London Out; Four Falcons Starters Questionable Against Buccaneers
The Atlanta Falcons face a tough situation ahead of their matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Star wide receiver Drake London will miss his fourth consecutive game due to a PCL strain sustained in Week 11. Additionally, four other key starters are listed as questionable.
Key Injury Updates for the Falcons
Offensive player Kyle Pitts is among those uncertain to play. He has been dealing with a knee injury and was limited during Wednesday’s practice. The Falcons hope to have him available for Thursday Night Football.
Defensive Concerns
- Brandon Dorlus: Questionable with a groin injury; missed Week 14’s game against the Seahawks.
- Jalon Walker: Questionable due to a quad injury that prevented him from playing last Sunday.
- David Onyemata: Continues to deal with a foot injury; he has been on the injury report for several weeks.
All three defenders participated in a limited capacity during Wednesday’s practice. The team’s practice schedule was altered, with a walkthrough on Tuesday and no practice on Monday due to the short week.
Positive News for Atlanta
In a positive development, starting cornerback A.J. Terrell is not on the injury report. He has been managing a neck issue but will be available for the upcoming game.
The Falcons will need to make strategic decisions as they prepare to face the Buccaneers. The absence of key players like London and potentially Pitts and defensive stars could impact their performance significantly.
