"Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Drake London (hip) were full participants during the Falcons' practice on Friday, indicating that the tandem will be good to go during their Week 9 matchup with New England in Foxborough. The QB and pass-catcher were each limited during Wednesday and Thursday's practices after sitting out the week prior when Kirk Cousins filled in under center."
"London is one of the best wide receivers in the game this season and could certainly be a thorn in New England's side as they seek a sixth consecutive win. Pro Football Focus ranked the 24-year-old the sixth-ranked WR in the NFL ahead of Week 9. London has caught 38 passes on 63 targets (60.3 percent), registered 20 first down catches, is averaging 78.2 yards per game (ninth-best in the NFL), and has caught two touchdowns through six games played."
Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Drake London (hip) practiced fully on Friday and are expected to play in Week 9 against the New England Patriots in Foxborough. Both players were limited earlier in the week after missing Week 8, when Kirk Cousins started and the Dolphins beat Atlanta 34-10. Atlanta enters the game 3-4 and on a two-game losing streak. New England is 6-2 and on a five-game win streak. London ranks among the league's top wide receivers per PFF and has strong receiving numbers. Christian Gonzalez has elite coverage metrics and has not allowed a touchdown in his last 478 coverage snaps.
