Falcons' Drake London Sidelined Against Cowboys With Hip Injury
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys due to a hip injury. London suffered the injury in the Falcons' Week 1 loss to the New Orleans Saints and did not practice all week.
Lost: A Key Target for Mariota
London's absence is a significant loss for the Falcons. The rookie wideout was one of the team's most promising pass-catchers in the preseason, and he was expected to play a key role in the team's offense this season. With London out, the Falcons will be without one of their top targets for quarterback Marcus Mariota.
Impact on Offensive Gameplan
London's injury could force the Falcons to adjust their offensive game plan. The team may have to rely more on other wide receivers, such as Bryan Edwards and KhaDarel Hodge. The Falcons may also consider increasing the workload of tight end Kyle Pitts.
Time to Heal
The Falcons hope that London's injury is not serious and that he will be able to return to the field soon. However, the team will need to take a cautious approach with their young wide receiver.
In the meantime, the Falcons will need to find a way to replace London's production on the field. The team will be looking for other wide receivers to step up and make plays.
