The Atlanta Falcons have updated their injury report following Thursday’s practice, listing tight end Kyle Pitts and wide receiver Drake London as limited participants due to knee injuries.
Pitts was added to the injury report after his recent performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he recorded a career-high 166 receiving yards and three touchdowns. This achievement earned him the NFC Offensive Player of the Week honor. He became only the eighth tight end in NFL history to tally at least 150 receiving yards and three touchdowns in a single game, and the first since Shannon Sharpe did so in 1996. Over his last three games, Pitts has accumulated 338 receiving yards, marking a franchise record for a Falcons tight end in such a span.
Drake London continues to recover from a PCL sprain that has sidelined him for four consecutive games. The team is monitoring his progress closely as he works toward returning to play.
Three defensive linemen were also added to Thursday’s injury report: Ruke Orhorhoro (groin), LaCale London (shoulder), and Brandon Dorlus (illness/shoulder). Other players listed included running back Bijan Robinson (illness), cornerback Dee Alford (illness), edge rusher Leonard Floyd (illness) with full participation; safety Jessie Bates III was limited for non-injury-related rest; while wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge (shoulder), cornerback Mike Hughes (ankle), and Brandon Dorlus did not participate.
