Falcons' LaCale London: Gets regular playing time in 2025
Rotowire
London appeared in 13 regular-season games in 2025 and finished with 30 tackles (17 solo), including 5.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.
London spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Falcons' practice squad and didn't appear in a game that year, but he earned a spot on the 53-man roster for 2025 following training camp. He was inactive for three games in the middle of the season, but his two-sack performance against the Patriots in Week 9 earned him some regular playing time over the final half the season. London will enter the offseason as a restricted free agent, which would allow Atlanta to match an offer that the 28-year-old receives from another team should the team opt to tender him.

Rotowire
London (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
London popped up on the injury report Thursday after practicing in full Wednesday. It's unclear whether this shoulder injury is related to anything that caused him to miss time in November, but it's something to keep an eye on in practice Friday, and for his availability in Week 16 against the Cardinals. The 28-year-old has 21 sacks (14 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one pass breakup in 10 games this season.

Falcons' LaCale London: Sitting out Week 10
Rotowire
London (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
After he hadn't logged any snaps over a stretch of three consecutive games, London suited up for last week's 24-23 loss to the Patriots and turned in a standout performance, recording a pair of sacks and forcing a fumble while finishing with a season-high five tackles. Though London may have earned himself more playing time if he had been healthy enough to play Week 10, he'll ultimately be forced to sit out the game in Germany after he was a limited practice participant throughout the week due to the shoulder injury.

Falcons' LaCale London: Questionable to face Colts
Rotowire
London (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
London is coming off a two-sack game against the Patriots, but the 28-year-old defensive tackle hadn't previously registered a sack in his NFL career. If he suits up Sunday in Berlin, London would likely work as part of a rotation on the interior of Atlanta's defensive line.
