Drake London Plans to Play Sunday for Falcons Despite Back and Illness Concerns

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London, 24, who was listed as questionable for Sunday's Week 11 game against Carolina due to a back issue and an illness, intends to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. London logged a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week, indicating he may not be 100 percent. His participation is significant for Atlanta's passing game, especially given his recent performance of exceeding 100 receiving yards in four of his last five games. London, who signed a four-year, $21.53 million contract in May 2022 and had his 2026 team option exercised, has 53 receptions for 691 yards and 6 touchdowns this season.
