The Atlanta Falcons have six games left and little margin for error if they want to make a late-season playoff push. The team managed to get a win over the New Orleans Saints last week without wide receiver Drake London in the lineup. London injured his knee back in Week 11 and his status is up in the air for Sunday’s game against the New York Jets.
Head coach Raheem Morris addressed London’s injury prior to Wednesday’s practice but didn’t have a concrete answer on the wide receiver’s status for Week 13.
“He looks good,” said Morris. “He’s moving around. I’m happy that we’ll get him back soon, just not sure how soon.”
Thus far this season, London has recorded 60 catches for 810 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Morris later said he considers London doubtful for Sunday’s game.
“I don’t think it’s this week,” Morris said of London’s return timeline. Sunday’s game against the Jets kicks off at 1 p.m. ET at MetLife Stadium.
Last week, veteran wide receiver Darnell Mooney posted a season-high 74 receiving yards against the Saints. Expect Mooney to pick up the slack once again in Week 13 if London sits out.
