London was one of the few bright spots for the Falcons, with 60 receptions, 810 yards and six touchdowns. He developed a strong chemistry with quarterback Michael Penix Jr.and the team should only improve as they spend more time together on the field.
Penix, however, also sat out the game against the Panthers with an ankle injury. He will also undergo further testing on Monday.
If the 24-year-old London is forced to miss time, wide receivers Darnell Mooney, David Sills and KhaDarel Hodge are expected to step up.
The injury bug couldn’t have come at a worse time for the Falcons, who are targeting a late surge to earn a ticket to the playoffs.
Atlanta will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 12.
