Through two games this season, London has just six catches for 80 yards thanks to awful quarterback play from Cooper Rush.
The hope was that London would do better now that quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is back this week, but that has not been the case, as London is off to a slow start in the Week 3 game against the Green Bay Packers on Thursday night.
Here's a closer look at what's going on.
Is Drake London playing tonight?
Yes, London is active and healthy, he just hasn't reeled in a catch yet.
New quarterback, same terrible play for the Falcons under center tonight. It really is that simple when it comes to why London hasn't done anything yet.
Maybe Penix will shake off the rust, but it's hard to be confident in that actually happening.
