The Atlanta Falcons fell short in another close game on Sunday, a 27-24 road loss to the New York Jets. The Falcons held a fourth-quarter lead but failed to hold on and now sit at 4-8 with five games left in the season. Fortunately, the team could be getting wide receiver Drake London back sooner rather than later.
Falcons head coach Raheem Morris met with the media on Monday to take questions and provide some injury updates. Morris said London was now considered "day-to-day" as opposed to "week-to-week" and could return in Week 14.

London has missed the last two games due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 11, but he was having an incredible season prior to going down. In nine games, London has recorded 60 catches for 810 receiving yards and six touchdowns.
Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts carried the load for the offense in Week 13, leading the team with seven catches for 82 receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Jets. London's return would be huge for Atlanta as the team prepares to face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14.
