Falcons' Drake London Cleared for SNF vs. Vikings, with Darnell Mooney Also Set to Play

His return gives Michael Penix Jr. a fuller set of options against a Minnesota defense dealing with injuries.

Overview

  • Head coach Raheem Morris confirmed London will suit up Sunday night with no injury designation, and Darnell Mooney was likewise cleared.
  • London left Week 1 with a shoulder sprain after posting eight catches for 55 yards on 15 targets, which accounted for a 35.7 percent target share.
  • He practiced on Sept. 10 and increased his workload before the team removed his injury status on Friday.
  • Analysts project a favorable outlook based on London's recent chemistry with Penix and Minnesota’s situation with Andrew Van Ginkel in concussion protocol.
  • Falcons Wire listed Week 2 starters with PFF grades, and defensive rookies James Pearce Jr. and Billy Bowman Jr. were listed as questionable.
