Falcons Rule Drake London Out vs. Dolphins After Late-Week Hip Injury

Kirk Cousins now guides a reshuffled passing attack.

Overview

  • London was a late addition to the injury report after a limited Friday practice and was downgraded to questionable on Saturday with a hip issue.
  • He was declared inactive on the Falcons’ official game-day report roughly 90 minutes before the Week 8 kickoff against Miami.
  • Quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is also inactive with a knee bone bruise, paving the way for veteran Kirk Cousins to start.
  • With London sidelined, targets are expected to tilt toward Darnell Mooney, tight end Kyle Pitts, and Bijan Robinson, with David Sills V, Casey Washington, or KhaDarel Hodge in line for more work.
  • Through six games, London leads Atlanta in target share and has 38 receptions for 469 yards and two touchdowns.
