The Atlanta Falcons were snakebitten by injuries in Week 11. They're forced to bite the bullet on second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr., who's slated for season-ending surgery to repair a partially torn ACL. However, the status of star wide receiver Drake London remains unclear.
London hurt his knee late in Atlanta's crushing 30-27 loss to the Carolina Panthers and was quickly ruled out during overtime. The sequence of events and game circumstances, especially given the Falcons' place in the standings, foreshadowed a devastating ensuing update -- or so we thought.
Suiting up for Atlanta's upcoming clash with the New Orleans Saints seems like a long shot, at best, for London.
