As mentioned above, it does seem like receiver Drake London could finally return for the Falcons this week, after missing the previous four games with a knee injury. It does appear that a bug has swept through the Falcons locker room, as four different players were listed as having an illness on Thursday.
Looking at the Cardinals, the big name to keep an eye on is receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. who has been battling back from a heel injury. Both the Falcons and Cardinals could be getting back their top receiving options this week.
