It seems Atlanta could be without its top receiver against the New Orleans Saints.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. Falcons starting wide receiver Drake Londonsustained a knee injury during Sunday's lossto the Carolina Panthers. Immediately after the game, head coach Raheem Morris said the team would have more information on the severity of his injury after tests were run Monday.
On Monday morning, NFL Network's Ian Rapoportreported he was expected to missthe team's Week 12 matchup against the New Orleans Saints and potentially more time.
Speaking with the media later that afternoon, Morris said London would be "week to week" with the injury. London has a history of playing through injuries, though, and the week-to-week label leaves room for an adjusted timeline depending on how quickly Atlanta's star receiver recovers.
"You never know, Drake could come back tomorrow and feel a lot better, but we'll get a feel for how that goes and he'll be a week-to-week guy," Morris said.
London was seemingly injured on Atlanta's final offensive play of regulation, when backup quarterback Kirk Cousins lofted a pass down the left sideline in his direction. London, who ranks fourth among NFL receivers with 810 yards through Sunday's games, caught seven passes for 119 yards against the Panthers.
The Falcons have dealt with numerous injuries on offense this season. They have been without starting right tackle Kaleb McGary since training camp ended, and left guard Matthew Bergeron has missed the last two games. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney has missed a pair of games and got a slow start to the year after sustaining an injury early in training camp. Even starting quarterback Michael Penix Jr. missed a game earlier this fall, sitting out the Week 8 contest against Miami due to a bone bruise on his knee.
This story will be updated as more information becomes available. Falcons head coach Raheem Morris is set to speak to the media on Monday afternoon.
