Ready to practice Falcons coach Raheem Morris said London (hip) will participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
Impact London and Michael Penix (knee) are both slated to practice Wednesday after having been sidelined for Atlanta's loss to the Dolphins in Week 8. Penix was limited in practice due to a bone bruise in advance of being ruled out for Miami, while London as a surprise inactive after having initially avoided a game-day injury designation, then being reclassified as 'questionable' on Saturday. Morris said both London and Penix remain 'day-to-day' in advance of Sunday's road matchup against the Patriots.

Falcons' crushing Week 8 defeat stings even more after brutal injury update From Michael Penix and Drake London to Divine Deablo and Jessie Bates III, the injury bug never ends for the Atlanta Falcons.
OCTOBER 28 • BLOGGINGDIRTY.COM
Considered day-to-day Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London (hip) is day-to-day, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Impact Morris called both London and quarterback Michael Penix (knee) day-to-day in the wake of both players having missed Atlanta's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins in Week 8. Veteran backup quarterback Kirk Cousins looked ill-prepared to command the Falcons' offense without London on the field, finishing with just 173 passing yards with no touchdowns or interceptions despite facing off against a deeply flawed Miami secondary. Whether it ends up being Penix or Cousins under center on the road against New England on Sunday, it will bode well for Atlanta's aerial attack if London is able to retake the field alongside Darnell Mooney and TE Kyle Pitts. The star wideout was a late addition to the Week 8 injury report.

Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. and top WR Drake London to miss game against Dolphins due to injuries
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is inactive against the Miami Dolphins after being listed as questionable with a bone bruise on his left kneeOCTOBER 26 • Associated Press
Surprise inactive Sunday London (hip) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the Dolphins, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
Impact Despite showing up as limited on Friday's practice report due to a hip issue, London initially wasn't tagged with a designation for Sunday's game, but the Falcons then changed his status to questionable Saturday, per Terrin Waack of the team's official site. With London's lack of availability now confirmed for Week 8 action, Atlanta's options at wide receiver will be Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Casey Washington, KhaDarel Hodge, Jamal Agnew and Dylan Drummond.

With starting QB Penix questionable, Falcons promote Stick from practice squad against Dolphins

Now listed as questionable for Week 8 The Falcons changed London's status to questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a hip injury, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
Impact London didn't show up on Atlanta's Week 8 injury report until Friday as a limited participant with the hip issue, and the team then didn't tag him with a game-day designation. With the slight downgrade, his status now will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to see if he'll be available. London currently sits with a 38-469-2 line on 63 targets in six games this season, and if he's active he likely will be working with QB Kirk Cousins because regular starter Michael Penix (knee) is trending toward being absent, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Little produciton on 10 targets London recorded four receptions on 10 targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-10 loss to the 49ers.
Impact London logged double-digit targets for the fourth time in six games this season, so lack of opportunity wasn't the reason for his poor line. However, he struggled to connect with Michael Penix both deep and in short areas of the field, leading to his inefficient day and lowest yardage total of the campaign. The Falcons' passing game appeared to be getting on track in Weeks 5 and 6, making this a particularly disappointing step back.
