Falcons place DL Kentavius Street on IR, rule out DL David Onyemata for Carolina game

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) — The Atlanta Falcons placed defensive lineman Kentavius Street on injured reserve and ruled out defensive tackle David Onyemata for the game Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

The Falcons also activated defensive lineman LaCale London from the injured list and added kicker Younghoe Koo to the injury report with an illness, listing him as questionable for the game.

London was promoted from the practice squad in late October and played three games for the Falcons. He recorded four tackles, one tackle for a loss and one fumble recovery before sustaining knee injury.

With Street going down last week with a pectoral injury and Onyemata ruled out for his second straight game with an ankle issue, London could get significant playing time against Carolina. Onyemata had been listed as questionable, but the team said Saturday he did not travel to Charlotte.

Right tackle Kaleb McGary (knee/illness) has also been ruled out by the Falcons, who have a long list of players listed as questionable including three more starters on the offensive line: left tackle Jake Matthews (knee), right tackle Chris Lindstrom (ankle) and center Drew Dalman (ankle).

Linebackers Bud Dupree (back) and Nate Landman (knee) were on the questionable list, as well.

The Falcons (6-7) are in a three-way tie for first in the NFC South with Tampa Bay and New Orleans as they prepared to face the Panthers (1-12).
