Drake London being held out of Falcons’ final exhibition game Saturday
Falcons wide receiver Drake London, the eighth player taken in the NFL draft this year, will not play against the Jaguars in the exhibition finale Saturday afternoon at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
London played five plays in the exhibition opener against Detroit on Aug. 12. He caught a pass for 24 yards and was hit on his left knee. He has not practiced since the injury. The Falcons have said the injury is not serious and that London was being held out as a precautionary measure.
Linebacker Deion Jones, who came off of the physically-unable-to-perform list Wednesday, was dressed out and went through warmups Saturday. Jones missed the offseason and most of training camp after undergoing shoulder surgery.
