Raheem Morris Head Coach | Atlanta Falcons Website
The Atlanta Falcons are preparing for their upcoming game against the Washington Commanders with a mostly healthy roster. However, they will be missing some depth in their secondary. Defensive backs Kevin King and Antonio Hamilton Sr. have been ruled out due to injuries sustained during practice.
Kevin King is dealing with a concussion, while Antonio Hamilton Sr. is suffering from a quad injury. Both players did not participate in practice throughout the week leading up to the game.
On a positive note for the Falcons, there are no offensive players listed with game designations for this week's matchup. Wide receiver Drake London was on the injury report earlier in the week with a knee issue but has since confirmed that he is fit to play.
London exited last Sunday's victory over the New York Giants because of a hamstring problem. Head coach Raheem Morris mentioned after that game that London's return wasn't necessary given Atlanta's lead at the time. London reassured reporters this week that his knee is fine and he will be ready for Sunday's kickoff scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium.
The team's full injury report shows several players who participated fully in practice, including Lorenzo Carter, Casey Washington, Ross Dwelley, and Zach Harrison, indicating they are likely to play on Sunday. Meanwhile, KhaDarel Hodge was limited due to rib issues.
