Injury updates from Thursday’s practice.
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London missed his second consecutive practice on Wednesday as the team prepares to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 12. The Falcons have already ruled out London and starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. for Sunday’s NFC South matchup.
After listing 12 starters on Wednesday’s injury report, Atlanta appears to be trending in the right direction health-wise. Linebacker Josh Woods (hamstring), defensive lineman Zach Harrison (knee) and London were the only players missing at Thursday’s practice.
Guards Chris Lindstrom (foot) and Matthew Bergeron (ankle) were both limited, along with edge rusher Leonard Floyd (hamstring). Linebacker Divine Deablo (forearm) hasn’t officially been added to the 53-man roster yet, but the veteran linebacker was a full participant on Thursday.
Deablo’s return could be a huge boost for Atlanta’s defense. Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks (personal) was absent for the second day in a row. Check out the full Week 12 injury report below.
