Gets another sack in loss
London recorded three tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 30-27 overtime loss versus the Panthers.
ANALYSIS
London registered a sack for his second straight game in Week 11, bringing his total on the season up to 3.0. He'll be looking to keep the streak going in a Week 12 tilt against a pass-first Saints offense.

Logs full practice
London (shoulder) logged a full practice Wednesday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
London missed Atlanta's Week 10 loss to the Colts with a shoulder injury. He practiced in limited fashion throughout the week, so his upgrade to a full session Wednesday should bode well for his availability in Week 11 against the Panthers.

Sitting out Week 10
London (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts in Berlin, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.

Questionable to face Colts
London (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
London's 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.

Dealing with shoulder injury
London (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
London had his practice reps limited Wednesday due a shoulder issue he may have picked up against the Patriots in Week 9. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against Indianapolis. London tallied 2.0 sacks against New England and could be in line for more defensive snaps if he's cleared to play Week 10.

Gets after Maye
London recorded five tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks and two tackles for loss in Sunday's 24-23 loss to the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
London returned from a three-game absence and logged a season-high 28 defensive snaps. He made good use of the opportunity by logging the first two sacks of his career. London is not particularly IDP relevant despite the strong showing.

Projected for full session
London was a full participant in Wednesday's estimated injury report, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
London missed Monday's win over the Bills due to a triceps injury. Though Atlanta didn't actually take the field Wednesday, he should be ready to return for a Week 7 matchup against the 49ers.
Oct 11, 2025
Not playing Monday
London (triceps) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Bills, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
London appeared on Friday's practice report as a limited participant due to a triceps injury. He downgraded to a DNP on Saturday, and the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Monday's contest. Sam Roberts and Brandon Dorlus should see more rotational snaps on the Falcons' defensive line in London's absence.

The Falcons placed London (undisclosed) on the active/non-football injury list Thursday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear what injury London is working through, but he will be able to participate in practices and preseason games once he's fully healthy.

Back from extended absence

Activated from IR

Nearing return
London (knee) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
London will now have a 21-day window to practice with the team before he needs to return to the 53-man roster. Once he proves he's healthy enough to play, he should provide a boost to the Falcons' depth on their defensive line.
Nov 1, 2023
Placed on injured reserve
The Falcons placed London (knee) on injured reserve Wednesday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
London briefly exited Week 8 against the Titans but was able to quickly return. With the adrenaline now worn off and further testing completed, London will miss at least the next four games.

London was placed on the Bears' practice squad COVID-19 list Monday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The Western Illinois product has yet to make his NFL debut since signing with the Bears as an undrafted free agent, and this development only distances him from that milestone. London's final collegiate season of 2019 yielded four sacks, 8.5 tackles for loss and an impressive three forced fumbles.
