Entering a Week 12 clash with the New Orleans Saints, the Atlanta Falcons are already thin offensively. Veteran signal-caller Kirk Cousins will draw the start in the wake of Michael Penix Jr.'s season-ending ACL tear, while superstar receiver Drake London will be held out due to a PCL sprain.
It's a disaster scenario for the Falcons, but it somehow just got even worse. While London is sidelined, the expectation was that Darnell Mooney, David Sills V, and Casey Washington would operate as Atlanta's starting receiver trio. But instead, Washington was listed as a surprise inactive for Week 12.
