London back in. #Falcons Via @marcraimondi on X

What happened: London re-entered the Atlanta lineup Sunday after clearing an earlier sideline check, per Marc Raimondi. Elsewhere in the game for the Falcons, running back Bijan Robinson had a run negated by a holding penalty while tight end Kyle Pitts recorded a touchdown reception.

Why it matters: Keeping London available alongside offensive core partner Robinson stabilizes the passing attack as Atlanta tries to halt a two-game skid against the visiting 49ers. The Falcons entered Sunday managing a crowded injury report that included activating cornerback A.J. Terrell Jr. from injured reserve and placing offensive lineman Michael Jerrell on IR.

By the numbers: Atlanta entered the matchup at 2-4 overall. Pitts has caught a touchdown pass in three consecutive games, becoming the first Falcons tight end to reach that mark since Hayden Hurst in 2020, per ESPN Research.

What to watch: Watch for postgame updates from the Falcons regarding London's status following the conclusion of Sunday's contest against San Francisco.
