The Atlanta Falcons released their inactive list for Week 16 90 minutes before kicking off at State Farm Stadium against the Arizona Cardinals. While three key starters were questionable to play on the final injury report of the week, all would suit up against the Cardinals.
It marks the return of receiver Drake London, who missed the last four games with a knee injury. After being limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, sitting out on Friday and listed as questionable to play officially, he made his return.
