Falcons' Drake London: Returning to action Sunday
Drake London (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Tori McElhaney of the Atlanta Falcons' official site reports.London is putting an end to a four-game absence due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, but his inability to practice in any more than a limited capacity during Week 16 prep suggests he may not be able to handle his normal workload. Nevertheless, he put together three straight 100-yard receiving efforts in his last stretch of play Weeks 9-11, so he likely will resume his status as the Falcons' No. 1 WR, at the very least, for QB Kirk Cousins.

Falcons' Drake London: Optimism for Week 16 return
Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said Monday that he's "very hopeful" Drake London (knee) will return to the lineup for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.London has missed four consecutive games due to a PCL sprain in his left knee, in which span he hasn't practiced. Morris indicated that handling on-field activity will be crucial for London to return Week 16, meaning his status at Wednesday's practice will need to be monitored closely. In London's absence during last week's win over the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, TE Kyle Pitts broke out for a career-best 11-166-3 line on 12 targets. If the No. 1 wideout does manage to retake the field on the road versus Arizona this weekend, however, London will figure to immediately resume operating as Kirk Cousins' top target in the passing game.
