FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. – Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris confirmed Monday that star wide receiver Drake London is week-to-week after suffering a PCL injury in his left knee during Sunday’s 30-27 overtime loss to the Carolina Panthers.
London was forced from the game in the fourth quarter. Prior to exiting, he posted 7 receptions for 119 yards, marking his third consecutive 100-yard performance and his fifth in the last six games.
The third-year receiver has been one of the NFL’s most productive pass-catchers this season, entering Week 11 tied for 7th in receptions (60), 4th in receiving yards (810), and tied for 6th in touchdown catches (6).
The Falcons’ offense took another major blow in the same game, as rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. also suffered a left knee injury. Sources tell Adam Schefter that Penix will be placed on injured reserve and is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
