The Atlanta Falcons secured their sixth victory of the season by defeating the Dallas Cowboys 27-21. However, this win came with injuries to two key players: wide receiver Drake London and defensive tackle Grady Jarrett.

London left the game after scoring a 9-yard touchdown in the first quarter due to a hip injury. He was seen on the sidelines engaging in exercises to test his lower body but did not return to play. Jarrett exited late in the third quarter with an Achilles strain.

"Grady is day-to-day," said Falcons head coach Raheem Morris regarding Jarrett's condition. "Looked at it today, I think it was good news, good sign with the imaging and all that type of stuff. I don't know the exact terms, but he's feeling better than he felt yesterday."

Jarrett underwent an MRI on Monday and expressed optimism about his recovery, describing himself as "positive" about the results and considering himself day-to-day. There is also optimism for London's recovery. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that London's injury is believed to be a hip pointer, which is not usually a long-term issue.

"Drake has the hip pointer," Morris stated. "I'm thinking that's day-to-day. That will be a little pain-tolerance deal, and I'll definitely have a better feel on Thursday."

So far this season, London has recorded 50 receptions for 552 yards and six touchdowns, tying him for second most in receiving touchdowns league-wide. Jarrett leads Atlanta with 2.5 sacks this season and has contributed significantly with 30 tackles, nine quarterback hits, and six tackles for loss.

The Falcons are set to release their first official injury report of the week on Wednesday, which will provide further updates on London and Jarrett's status ahead of their Week 10 rematch against the New Orleans Saints.
