Is Drake London playing tonight? Explaining why Falcons WR injury news hasn't gotten better image

The season has really gone down the drain for the Atlanta Falcons.

An injury to star wide receiver Drake London hasn't helped that cause.

The Falcons have a tough matchup now, too, taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to open Week 15 on Thursday Night Football.

It'd certainly help the cause if London was available, but sadly, he won't be.

Is Drake London playing tonight?

No, Drake London isn't playing on Thursday night.

He was officially ruled out earlier this week.

He's now missed four consecutive games with a knee injury.

Falcons fans have been a bit confused by it, because the injury was termed "day to day."

London has missed four weeks worth of days with the ailment, now, so something obviously is worse than was being let on by the Falcons.

Atlanta will continue to navigate its receiving corps with the likes of Darnell Mooney and David Sills V.

At this point, it's not clear whether London would even come back this season. Why risk further injury for a lost campaign?

We may not see him again until 2026.
