Drake London injury update: Falcons WR suffers hip injury after catching TD vs. Cowboys

Drake London got the Falcons on the scoreboard Sunday with a sweet 9-yard touchdown grab that capped a 78-yard drive in the first quarter.

But the electric receiver would not make any more big plays against the Dallas Cowboys. London suffered a hip injury and was later ruled out after being initially listed as questionable to return.

London appeared to have suffered the setback on the touchdown catch in the short corner of the left end zone, as he twisted as fell hard to the turf in snagging the pass from Kirk Cousins. He also grabbed an 18-yard reception on a crossing route earlier in the drive, when he leaped to grab a high pass over the middle.

London rode a stationary bike on the sideline as he tried to test the injury in a possible attempt to return, but his day was officially cut short.

There’s no doubt that losing the third-year pro is a significant hit for the Falcons. London entered the game leading the team in receptions (48), receiving yards (525) and TD catches (5).
