The Atlanta Falcons are in a tough spot as they prepare for their upcoming game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team is dealing with several injuries, and it's unclear who will be able to play. The good news is that some players are making progress, but others are still out. Drake London, the team's star wide receiver, has been sidelined for the past three games due to a PCL sprain. Head coach Raheem Morris says London is "day-to-day, " which means he could potentially play on Thursday. However, it's still uncertain if he will be ready in time. Brandon Dorlus, a key defensive lineman, also missed the last game due to a groin injury. Like London, he is considered day-to-day. Several other players were hurt during the previous game against the Seattle Seahawks. Cornerback A. J. Terrell Jr. and linebacker Kaden Elliss both returned to the field after receiving treatment, but rookie edge Jalon Walker did not. Morris is hopeful that Walker will play this week, despite his bruise. The Falcons have a short week to prepare, which adds to the challenge. Some players, like Terrell and Walker, were limited in practice on Monday, while others, like Elliss, were able to participate fully. Other players, such as guard Chris Lindstrom, defensive lineman David Onyemata, wide receiver KhaDarel Hodge, and tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. , were also limited due to various injuries. The Falcons will need to find a way to overcome these injuries if they want to have a chance against the Buccaneers. It's a tough situation, but the team will have to make the best of it.
