Drake London’s Playing Status and Injury Update for Falcons WR Tonight
Drake London’s playing status for the Atlanta Falcons’ matchup against the Los Angeles Rams remains uncertain. The wide receiver was previously sidelined for four games due to a knee injury. He returned to the lineup in Week 16 but his participation has been limited.
Drake London’s Injury Update
As of now, London is listed as “questionable” for the upcoming game, having been limited in practice sessions prior to the matchup. Despite this, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris expressed optimism about London’s chances of playing. The team will reveal their inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the game, which begins at 8:15 p.m. ET.
Performance in Week 16
In his return during Week 16, London had a modest performance, recording only 27 yards on three receptions in a victory against the Arizona Cardinals. Coming into that game, he was similarly labeled as “questionable,” highlighting a sensitive recovery from his knee issue.
Falcons Wide Receiver Depth Chart
If London cannot suit up, the Falcons have depth at the wide receiver position. Below is the current list of wide receivers on the Falcons’ roster:
- Drake London
- Darnell Mooney
- David Sills V
- Casey Washington
- Dylan Drummond
- Deven Thompkins
- Malik Heath
In the event of London’s absence, Mooney and Sills may see increased playing time. Additionally, running back Bijan Robinson and tight end Kyle Pitts could receive more targets during the game.
Practice Squad Updates
The Falcons also elevated Chris Blair from their practice squad ahead of the matchup against the Rams. His activation could provide additional support if London is unable to play, although it remains unclear whether he will take the field.
As the Falcons aim to play spoiler in the remainder of the season, the status of Drake London will be closely monitored leading up to game time.
