The team released its final injury report on Saturday and London received a questionable game designation. Head coach Raheem Morris said he feels &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/TerrinWaack\/status\/2004993879574225400\">great<\/a>&#8221; about the veteran wideout playing on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>London returned after a four-week absence in Week 16 and had his least productive outing of the season (three catches for 27 yards). He is still dealing with a knee injury and may not be at 100 percent for the final two games.<\/p>\n<p>Tight end Kyle Pitts has stepped up over the last month in London&#8217;s absence. Pitts now leads the Falcons with 80 catches for 854 receiving yards this season.
