The Atlanta Falcons have released their most detailed injury report of the season ahead of their Week 11 game against the Carolina Panthers at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday.
Wide receiver Drake London is listed as questionable. He missed Wednesday’s practice due to illness and was later added to the report with a back issue. London participated in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. Since Michael Penix Jr.’s first career start in Week 16 last season, he and London have combined for 1,034 receiving yards, which is the second-highest total among quarterback-receiver pairs in the NFL during that period. In the Falcons’ last two games, London has recorded 222 receiving yards on 15 catches, including four touchdowns.
London has also been targeted on over 33 percent of his routes against zone coverage this season, ranking third among receivers with at least 100 such routes. The Panthers’ defense has used zone coverage on nearly 85 percent of dropbacks this year, the highest rate in the league.
Other players listed as questionable include guard Chris Lindstrom (foot), cornerback Mike Hughes (neck), defensive lineman Zach Harrison (knee), defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus (oblique), wide receiver Jamal Agnew (foot), tight end Feleipe Franks (foot), and edge rusher Jalon Walker (groin). The team will make game-time decisions regarding their availability.
Guard Matthew Bergeron (ankle) and edge rusher Leonard Floyd (hamstring) have been ruled out for a second consecutive week. Cornerback Dee Alford will also miss Sunday’s game after suffering a concussion last week against the Colts. Other players ruled out are inside linebacker Josh Woods (hamstring), inside linebacker Malik Verdon (shoulder), and defensive lineman Sam Roberts (knee/ankle).
The Falcons’ injury list also notes that some players were given rest days or had limited participation due to minor injuries but are not currently expected to miss Sunday’s matchup.
