Falcons’ Drake London, Michael Penix Inactive Against Dolphins
In a significant update for the Atlanta Falcons, star wide receiver Drake London will be inactive for their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins. This decision comes after London was downgraded from questionable to out on Sunday morning due to a hip injury. He currently leads the Falcons with 38 catches and 469 receiving yards, also contributing two touchdowns alongside running back Bijan Robinson.
Quarterback Changes for the Falcons
In another notable development, quarterback Michael Penix Jr. has been ruled out for the game due to a knee bone bruise. He was limited during practice leading up to the matchup. Kirk Cousins has been confirmed as the starting quarterback for the Falcons.
Dolphins’ Quarterback Status
On the Dolphins’ side, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is set to play despite being added to the injury report due to an illness. Tagovailoa has had a challenging season, throwing for 1,313 yards along with 11 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He is aiming for a rebound after a rough performance last week against the Cleveland Browns, where he was benched after throwing three interceptions and finishing with a career-low passer rating.

Alongside Drake London and Michael Penix Jr., several players have been named inactive for the Falcons:
- Zach Harrison (Defensive Lineman)
- Jalon Walker (Edge Rusher)
