He was a limited participant, but was back on the grass with his team after missing the last four games with a PCL sprain in his knee.<\/p>\n<p>Head coach Raheem Morris said the team will evaluate London this week to determine whether or not he can play in Arizona this weekend against the Cardinals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We&#8217;ll get a chance to see where he&#8217;s at, do a couple things with him,&#8221; Morris said. &#8220;He seems to be in positive spirits so we look forward to seeing how much he&#8217;ll potentially be able to give us this week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tight end Kyle Pitts has emerged in London&#8217;s absence.

Notably, he&#8217;s had 24 catches and 383 yards with three touchdowns in the last three outings with London out of the lineup. How \u2014 and if \u2014 London&#8217;s return changes production and usage for Pitts will be something to monitor.<\/p>\n<p>In other injury news, Morris said earlier this week the team will be without starting cornerback Mike Hughes, who suffered an ankle injury in the first quarter of Atlanta&#8217;s win against Tampa Bay. Hughes&#8217; absence could open the door for rookie Cobee Bryant to have more live looks.<\/p>\n<p>You can view Wednesday&#8217;s injury report below, and <a class=\"nfl-o-cta--link nfl-o-cta--underline\" style=\"word-break: break-word\" href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantafalcons.com\/team\/injury-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the entire weekly reports for both Atlanta and Arizona here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. \u2014 For the first time since the lead up to Week 11, wide receiver Drake&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":639013,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7757],"tags":[196836,748,109115,180050,393,4884,140151,257,181126,12,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-639012","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-london","8":"tag-atlanta-falcons-at-arizona-cardinals-2025-reg-16","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-drake-london","11":"tag-emory-injury-report","12":"tag-england","13":"tag-great-britain","14":"tag-kyle-pitts","15":"tag-london","16":"tag-mike-hughes","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115737239412636414","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639012","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=639012"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/639012\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/639013"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=639012"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=639012"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=639012"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
