Drake London will play for the Atlanta Falcons in their ‘Monday Night Football’ matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. London, who was listed as questionable due to a knee injury, is active for the second consecutive week after missing four games with a sprained PCL.
With London’s return, receivers Casey Washington and Malik Heath are inactive. This marks the sixth time this season that Washington has been designated as a healthy scratch.
Cornerback Mike Hughes was previously ruled out earlier in the week as he recovers from an ankle injury. The team will be watching to see which player fills his role during the game. Last week, undrafted rookie Cobee Bryant started at cornerback against the Arizona Cardinals, but C.J. Henderson played most of the snaps in Hughes’ spot and secured an interception late in the fourth quarter to help seal that victory.
Additionally, inside linebacker Josh Woods has been downgraded to out for personal reasons.
The full list of Atlanta’s inactives for their game against the Rams includes: CB Mike Hughes, RB Nathan Carter, ILB Josh Woods, OL Michael Jerrell, WR Casey Washington, WR Malik Heath, and DL Kentavius Street.
