Atlanta Falcons (5-3) receiver Drake London suffered a hip injury in Sunday’s Week 9 home tilt against the Dallas Cowboys (3-4).

London is out for the remainder of the game.

With London sidelined, the Falcons will rely on receivers Darnell Mooney, Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDarel Hodge and tight end Kyle Pitts in the passing game.

“We got guys more than capable of filling in [for London],” head coach Raheem Morris told Pam Oliver of FOX Sports.

London, 23, came into the game the Falcons’ leading receiver this season, hauling in 48 receptions for 525 yards and five touchdowns. Before exiting the game against Dallas, London came down with two catches for 27 yards. That included a nine-yard touchdown reception in the first quarter.

London made the tough grab with Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs draped all over him.

London now has six touchdown grabs in nine games this season. He had six scores in his last two seasons combined.
