Falcons head coach Raheem Morris confirmed that London would be active for Monday’s game.

Aside from London, the other players who were noted on the injury reports this week have gone accordingly to expectations. Cornerback Mike Hughes, who missed Week 16 with his ankle injury from Week 15, is listed as out.

In his place, Cobee Bryant and C.J. Henderson will have the opportuntiy to make an impact in the Falcons’ secondary.

“I was very proud of how he [Bryant] competed and went out there and played to the highest point and did some really good things,” Morris said Wednesday. “Obviously, out there competing for him at a high level. He was able to split some time out there with our young man, CB [C.J.] Henderson. And obviously, he went out there and played well, did some really good things, and made the game-winning pick. I was pretty jacked up for both of those guys.”

Cornerback Clark Phillips III (triceps/illness) and defensive lineman Sam Roberts (knee/ankle), who were both designated to return this week from injuries, are also out for Monday. Both players practiced this week, at various levels, and will work to return to action in the Falcons’ final game of the season.
