Drake London is out for Thursday night’s game in Tampa
The Atlanta Falcons won’t have their full offensive arsenal available for Thursday night’s matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Wide receiver Drake London has been ruled out due to a knee injury while tight end Kyle Pitts is officially questionable for Week 15.
London and Pitts have combined for 122 catches, 1,441 receiving yards and seven touchdowns this season. Pitts has helped carry the load in London’s absence, but Atlanta’s offense could be in trouble if the fifth-year tight end can’t go on Thursday night.
Wide receiver Dylan Drummond will attempt to replace London in the lineup in Week 15. Either way, the Falcons will need to rely heavily on wide receiver Darnell Mooney and running back Bijan Robinson to carry the offense against the Buccaneers.
On defense, the Falcons listed defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus (groin), rookie Jalon Walker (quad) and defensive tackle David Onyemata are questionable.
