The Atlanta Falcons and the Arizona Cardinals will face off later this afternoon and all eyes will be on Drake London and Marvin Harrison Jr. Both receivers have missed the last few games due to injuries.
London has been out since injuring his knee in Week 11, while Harrison has missed two games with a heel injury. ESPN insider Adam Schefter provided updates on both players ahead of Sunday’s Week 16 matchup, and it sounds like London will play.
“Drake London, listed as questionable for Sunday due to a knee injury that has sidelined him since Week 12, is expected to play vs. the Cardinals, per source,” Schefter wrote on social media Saturday evening.
London has recorded 60 catches for 810 receiving yards and six touchdowns this season. Harrison is expected to play as well, but according to Schefter, the Cardinals plan to ease him back out of caution.
“Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison, who has missed the past two games due to a heel injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday, is expected to play but the team plans to ease him back in, per source,” wrote Schefter.
Harrison has 40 catches for 594 receiving yards and four touchdowns this season.
The Falcons also listed tight end Kyle Pitts and Bijan Robinson on the team’s injury report, but neither player received a game designation. Pitts was limited in practice with a knee injury and Robinson was listed on the report with an illness. Expect both players to be full participants in Week 16.
Sunday’s game starts at 4:05 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
