The Atlanta Falcons are battling a few notable injuries going into their Week 8 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Quarterback Kirk Cousins is expected to start Sunday's game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium as Michael Penix Jr.

With Cousins making his first start and London out, it adds pressure on running back Bijan Robinson, who the Falcons could rely on heavily in the running and passing games. Tight end Kyle Pitts has caught 30 passes for 285 yards and a touchdown as well.

It looked like it might be a great week for Drake London ahead. Kirk Cousins does a great job of feeding an accurate football London's way, and Cousins is primed to start at quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons in Week 8. But then there was London, popping up late on the injury report.
