The Atlanta Falcons have released their final injury report ahead of Sunday's NFC matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. Wide receiver Drake London and tight end Kyle Pitts are both expected to play despite being limited in practice this week.
While London was officially listed as questionable with a PCL strain, head coach Raheem Morris said the wide receiver will play on Sunday. London was injured during the team's Week 11 loss to the Carolina Panthers, causing him to miss the last four games.
Pitts did not receive an injury designation and is good to go for Sunday's game. The fifth-year tight end has come on strong with London sidelined in recent weeks. Pitts now has 73 receptions for 797 receiving and four touchdowns this season.
The Falcons also listed rookie edge James Pearce Jr. and defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus as questionable versus the Cardinals. Not only does Pearce have a team-high eight sacks this season, but he has a six-game sack streak entering Week 16.
If Pearce is ruled out on Sunday, veteran Leonard Floyd will likely fill in. Second-year defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro would replace Dorlus in the lineup if he can't play in Week 16.
Wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge and cornerback Mike Hughes have been ruled out. Check out the Falcons' final Week 16 injury report with game designations below.
Sunday's game kicks off at 4:05 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
