The Atlanta Falcons have provided an update on the status of several key players ahead of their Week 13 game against the New York Jets. The team announced that starting guards Chris Lindstrom and Matthew Bergeron are making progress as they recover from lower leg injuries. Both players were listed as limited participants during Thursday’s Thanksgiving practice, with Lindstrom managing a foot injury and Bergeron working through an ankle issue.
Head coach Raheem Morris addressed the media on Wednesday regarding wide receiver Drake London, stating, “I do not expect starting receiver Drake London to be available for the team’s Week 13 matchup with the New York Jets this Sunday.” London has been sidelined for five consecutive practices due to a PCL sprain in his knee and did not participate in Thursday’s session.
The Falcons’ injury report for Thursday lists inside linebacker Malik Verdon (shoulder) as a full participant. Wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge (shoulder), inside linebacker JD Bertrand (knee), Lindstrom, and Bergeron were all limited. In addition to London, inside linebacker Josh Woods (hamstring) did not take part in practice.
The full weekly injury reports for both Atlanta and New York can be found on the teams’ official sites.
