Falcons receiver Drake London went out with a hip injury against the Cowboys
ATLANTA – Atlanta Falcons receiver Drake London was ruled out due to a hip injury that occurred during a 9-yard touchdown reception against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
London was hit hard on his right hip after leaping high over Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs to haul in Kirk Cousins’ scoring pass, giving the Falcons a 7–3 lead in the first quarter.
Initially there was no indication that London had been injured. He turned the ball away, punched his teammates on the hands and even did a headstand, mimicking a college player’s celebratory action from a day earlier.
London never returned to the game and finished with two catches for 27 yards. He rode a stationary bike along the sideline in an attempt to get back on the field, but the Falcons ruled him out at halftime.
London entered the game as Atlanta’s top receiver with 48 catches for 525 yards and five touchdowns.

Cooper Rush replaced Prescott at quarterback to start the fourth quarter as the Cowboys tried to avoid their third straight loss.
