HASHBROWN3 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Arthur Smith on Drake London: I feel good about where he’s at https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/08/29/arthur-smith-on-drake-london-i-feel-good-about-where-hes-at/#comments Posted by Myles Simmons on August 29, 2022, 3:33 PM EDT Falcons rookie receiver Drake London has been sidelined by a knee injury for a couple of weeks. But there is still time for him to get back on the practice field before Atlanta opens the season against New Orleans on Sept. 11. On Monday, head coach Arthur Smith did not put a timetable on London’s return. But Smith also did not rule London out for Week One. “I feel good about where he’s at, but I’m not going to make a prediction,” Smith said, via D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “But I feel good about where he’s at.” As noted by Ledbetter, London has not practiced since Aug. 12. He did catch a 24-yard pass early in the preseason. The Falcons selected London at No. 8 overall out of USC in this year’s draft.

hjerry Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 If this were as minor as was initially said to be, he would've been at least running on the side. The fact that he's not even running, means that he can't. I'm still leaning high ankle sprain Killing Floor, Falcons_Frenzy, fuego and 6 others 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the available camera angles they showed, there didn't appear to be anything going on with the tackle to tweak his knee.

Tim Mazetti Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Just a bad start for what we all hoped was going to be a good start with all on board. This doesn't look good, but this is not a one man show. Falcons' seem to have the hosses on O I hope. And the D hasn't looked better at practice in years.

Killing Floor Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I hope he’s Ok. And it is concerning that he’s been unable to perform for 2 and a half weeks. He didn’t run in the combine because he was injured. I hope it’s nothing serious. But I don’t like the “oh, he’s fine”, he played 1 ball in preseason. Best case scenario is a sprain and he’s ready next week. And also best case scenario is the first couple games are his real preseason.

Herr Doktor Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 I think they are just being cautious. High ankle sprains or tweaked knees can be things that take time to shake off. Had my fill of high ankle sprains for a lifetime. They tend to linger. thofin21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RookieBird Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 My concern is how injury prone will London be? Everyone's questions will be answered this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicBird Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 London plays a super physical game, especially YAC - watch his college highlights. That doesn't mean he'll be injury prone though. I'm only concerned about him not even running, if that's accurate, almost 3 weeks after the injury. That doesn't sound "minor", or "day to day", at least to me.
