London caught three of seven targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos. London finished as the team leader in receiving yards in the blowout loss, but he has now been kept out of the end zone in consecutive games for the first time this season. He heads into the Week 12 bye with 710 receiving yards, which is one yard shy of the team-leading total held by Darnell Mooney, who exited in the third quarter of Sunday's loss due to a hamstring injury. London will look to end his brief touchdown drought when the Falcons return to action in Week 13 against the Chargers.

London caught three of seven targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos. London finished as the team leader in receiving yards in the blowout loss, but he has now been kept out of the end zone in consecutive games for the first time this season. He heads into the Week 12 bye with 710 receiving yards, which is one yard shy of the team-leading total held by Darnell Mooney, who exited in the third quarter of Sunday's loss due to a hamstring injury. London will look to end his brief touchdown drought when the Falcons return to action in Week 13 against the Chargers.
London caught eight of 12 targets for 97 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints. The star wideout didn't seem bothered by the minor hip injury he picked up last week, leading the Falcons in catches, targets and receiving yards while falling just short of his second 100-yard performance of the season. London is firmly on pace for his first career 1,000-yard campaign, racking up 649 yards through 10 games with a career-high six TDs to boot, but he faces a tough matchup on the road in Week 11 against Patrick Surtain and the Broncos.
London (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Saints. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Friday that he "felt good" about London's chances of playing in Week 10, and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Saturday afternoon that the wideout was expected to suit up despite his questionable designation, so this doesn't come as a major surprise. With Marshon Lattimore traded to Washington this week, the Saints' secondary will be without one of its top players over the last decade. London has topped 100 receiving yards in only one game this season, but he has six touchdowns through nine appearances.
London, who is listed as questionable Sunday with a hip injury, is expected to play against the Saints, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. This was the sentiment echoed Friday following the Falcons' final injury report of the week, so the star wide receiver apparently hasn't suffered any setbacks over the weekend. Expect Atlanta to officially confirm London's status ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
Falcons coach Raheem Morris said after Friday's practice that he "felt good" about London (hip) playing Sunday against the Saints, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports. London is listed as questionable for the game after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. The optimism for Morris is a good sign but doesn't necessarily preclude a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday.
London (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints. London missed the final three quarters of last week's game after suffering a hip pointer on an early TD catch, and he's now been a limited participant in each subsequent practice. Reports from Thursday's practice suggested he looked comfortable running routes, with London then saying afterward that he planned to play if the team would let him. The decision may come down to a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday, with KhaDarel Hodge expected to pick up most of London's usual snaps if the star wideout ends up inactive.
London (hip) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. During the open portion of Thursday's practice, London was seen running routes but didn't seem as fluid as he normally does, per D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. London emerged from this past Sunday's win against the Cowboys with a right hip pointer, and he told Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com on Thursday that "it's just a day-by-day thing...If they're willing to let me play, then I'm gonna be out there." Friday's injury report will reveal London's odds to suit up Sunday at New Orleans.
London (hip) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, Daniel Flick of SI.com reports. London was contained to just one quarter of action this past Sunday against the Cowboys due to what eventually was deemed to be a hip pointer, leaving him day-to-day. The Falcons merely held a walk-through session Wednesday, so he'll need to use practices Thursday and Friday in order to prove his level of health in advance of Sunday's contest at New Orleans.
Coach Raheem Morris said Monday that London (hip) is considered day-to-day, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports. Morris added that it's a pain-tolerance issue for London after he suffered the hip pointer after catching a touchdown early in the Falcons' win over the Cowboys on Sunday. London finished with two catches for 27 yards and the score on his two targets in roughly one quarter of action. London's practice reps likely will be managed ahead of next Sunday's date with the Saints.
