Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London suffers injury during TD catch vs. Dallas Cowboys

Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London began this season with six touchdown receptions in the first two years of his career. In Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, London secured its sixth goal of the 2024 season alone.

But it came at a cost.

London, who briefly played basketball at USC and was a standout high school hoops player, towered over Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs and caught quarterback Kirk Cousins's pass out of the air, almost as if he were grab a rebound.

As he fell to the turf, London completed the catch for a nine-yard touchdown, giving the Falcons a 7-3 lead.

However, when London went down, he injured his hip. Returning with a hip pointer was officially listed as questionable and he has made multiple trips to the Atlanta medical tent.

On the sidelines, London pedaled furiously on a stationary bike, albeit without a helmet in hand. He stayed in touch with his teammates and celebrated receiver Darnell Mooney's 36-yard touchdown catch on 4th-and-3.

However, in the two drives that followed, London did not play a snap. He was replaced by veteran wideout and special teams ace KhaDarel Hodge, the hero of Atlanta's Week 5 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Hodge gained nine yards on a screen pass, setting up the Falcons' fourth down conversion on their first drive without London. The possession ended with a fumble by Cousins, which was recovered by Cowboys edge rusher Carl Lawson.

At the time of his exit, London had two balls for 27 yards and a score. He entered Sunday as the Falcons' leading receiver with 48 catches for 525 yards and five touchdowns.
