Falcons WR Drake London Doubtful for Key Match Against Jets

The Atlanta Falcons are likely to face the New York Jets without star wide receiver Drake London this Sunday. Head coach Raheem Morris indicated on Wednesday that London is considered “doubtful” due to a PCL strain in his left knee. This injury has already sidelined him for the Falcons’ recent victory over the New Orleans Saints.

London has emerged as a key player for Atlanta this season, leading the team with 60 receptions, 810 receiving yards, and 6 touchdowns. His absence will be felt as the Falcons strive to maintain their momentum against the Jets.

Injury Update and Team Performance

Morris noted that London has shown improvement in his mobility and expressed optimism about his return in the near future. Despite his absence last weekend, the Falcons managed a convincing 24-10 win over the Saints. Wide receivers Darnell Mooney and David Sills V stepped up, both contributing with touchdown receptions from quarterback Kirk Cousins, who will remain as the starter for the remainder of the season.

The Falcons’ season has already seen its share of challenges, including the recent injury to Michael Penix Jr., who tore his ACL during a game against the Carolina Panthers in Week 11, effectively ruling him out for the remainder of the season.

As the Falcons prepare for their matchup against the Jets, all eyes will be on London’s recovery. His ability to return to the field could play a crucial role in Atlanta’s playoff aspirations.
