For the Falcons on Thursday, we received a few updates. Some positive news, receiver Drake London was limited after missing Wednesday’s practice. Although notable, London’s injury status changed from illness on Wednesday to now dealing with the illness along with a back injury. We will be monitoring that heading into Friday. Also, guards Chris Lindstrom and Matthew Bergeron continue to be absent as they deal with their respective injuries; the Falcons could have to start two backup guards if that continues.
We also learned that in July, the shoulder injury that receiver Darnell Mooney was dealing with was a broken collarbone. Mooney is not listed on the injury report currently, as it appears he’s healed from that.
Looking at the Panthers, the noticeable update for them is that running back Rico Dowdle also progressed to being limited on Thursday with his quad injury.
