A look at the Falcons’ first injury report of the week.
The Atlanta Falcons opened their practice week Wednesday in preparation for Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals and released their first injury report of Week 16.
The Falcons are hopeful of having wide receiver Drake London back after he missed the previous four games.
Cornerback Mike Hughes, who was injured last Thursday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, did not practice and has already been declared out by head coach Raheem Morris.
The Falcons have seven players listed, but only three with injuries.
The full details of Wednesday’s injury report are below. Starters are noted with an asterisk.
