Looking at the Falcons, we received a lot of updates on Friday. First with some good news: receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney are both 'good to go' on Sunday night. London left Week 1 with a shoulder injury and Mooney injured his shoulder during training camp. Although he was able to practice on a limited basis, James Pearce Jr. is considered questionable to play due to a groin injury. Coach Raheem Morris said that he's optimistic that Pearce Jr. will play, however.
Darnell Mooney. Troy Andersen. Kaleb McGary. Storm Norton. Carlos Washington. Clark Phillips. These are all players who are currently hurt, and because of that, the Atlanta Falcons are in a position where they must make tough decisions as they shape their 53 man roster in the days following the final preseason game. For some players, the decisions are relatively easy. Norton will have to go on short-term injured reserve, more than likely, given that he's out for six-to-eight weeks.
