In the Falcons win over the Cowboys, a couple of stars left the game with injuries — Grady Jarrett with an Achilles and Drake London with a hip.
Of course, anytime you see the word Achilles, your heart skips a beat. Thankfully, it seems both Jarrett and London avoided any serious injuries. In fact, Raheem Morris gave an overwhelmingly positive update following Wednesday’s practice.
The Falcons’ head coach told the Atlanta media that they’re day-to-day, but later told 92.9 hosts Mike Bell and Carl Dukes that he believes London will play, and Jarrett said he expects to play on Sunday in New Orleans.
The Falcons will have only a walkthrough today rather than a practice which will make it harder to judge progress of Grady Jarrett (Achilles) and Drake London (hip). "They will be out today doing everything. They are still day to day. I am feeling really good about it."

And for a name that we haven’t seen since the first month of the season, Troy Andersen told the Atlanta media that he expects to play. Ironically, the last time he played was against the Saints, where he had a career game that included a pick-six.
Troy Andersen says he will "for sure" play.
"Excited about it," he said.

That’s as good as it gets for Falcons fans.
The Saints, even without Dennis Allen and Marshon Lattimore, shouldn’t be taken lightly. The Falcons’ rivals have been given new life with the firing of Allen, and the Superdome is one of the most difficult places to play in the league.
Thankfully, it seems the Falcons will have London, Jarrett, and maybe even more as Troy Andersen and Drew Dalman make their way back from injuries.
