Atlanta Falcons rookie Drake London will not return to Thursday's preseason game against the Detroit Lions after suffering a knee injury, the team announced, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The extent of his injury is unclear.
The 21-year-old was on his way to a monster season in 2021 with USC, catching 88 passes for 1,084 yards and seven touchdowns in eight games. Then he suffered a fractured ankle, which wiped out the remainder of his year.
The injury didn't scare away the Falcons, though, and they selected the 6'4" pass-catcher with the eighth overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
