Drake London injury update confirms Falcons WR's Week 16 status despite questionable tag image

The Atlanta Falcons have made a decision on wide receiver Drake London for the Week 16 game against the Arizona Cardinals.

Of course, London has not played since Week 11, when he sustained a PCL injury that has kept him out of practice for weeks now.

However, London showed a clear sign he might return in Week 16 after turning in two limited practices to start the week.

On Friday, Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said London would be listed as questionable for Sunday, but he will play.

"Drake London will be listed as questionable. Raheem Morris said he will play though," ESPN Marc Raimondi reported.

There was an obvious concern for fantasy football owners that the Falcons might shut London down for the season with Atlanta being eliminated from playoff contention.

But the reality is that Morris could be fighting for his job, so he needs all hands on deck to finish out the season strong and maybe save himself.

Prior to his injury, London was on pace for a career-best season after posting 810 yards and six scores through nine games. His best season came in 2024, when he tallied 1,271 yards and nine touchdowns.

London can theoretically still get there over the final three games, but he's going to have to average 154 yards and over one touchdown per contest to get there.

Not entirely likely, but certainly not impossible, either.
