Atlanta Falcons Week 18 injury report feat. JD Bertrand, Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and more

To make the playoffs, the Atlanta Falcons need to beat the Carolina Panthers and hope that the New Orleans Saints pull off an upset against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It's not looking great for Michael Penix Jr. and Co., but there's still a lot to play for in the final game of the regular season.

Ahead of the crunch divisional matchup, let's examine the injury status of a couple of Falcons players.

Atlanta Falcons Week 18 injury report

JD Bertrand's injury update

According to CBS Sports, JD Bertrand is questionable to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 18. The inside linebacker is dealing with an eye issue and is in a race against time to prove his availability for the most important game of the Falcons' season.

Bertrand participated only partially in every training session this week, and his status will become clearer over time. However, if Bertrand is unable to suit up, expect the Atlanta Falcons to use Josh Woods in his place.

Drake London's injury update

According to The Fantasy Footballers, Drake London enters the game without an injury designation and will play against the Panthers on Sunday. The star wide receiver started the week on the injury report due to a knee injury.

London participated only partially on Thursday before logging in a full practice on Friday. Hence, he'll start against the Panthers, barring any unfortunate occurrences in the lead-up to the matchup.

Darnell Mooney's injury update

According to ESPN, Darnell Mooney's participation on Sunday is uncertain. The wide receiver is listed as questionable ahead of a must-win game against the divisional rivals, the Carolina Panthers.

Mooney is dealing with a shoulder injury, was limited at Thursday's training session, and did not participate on Friday. Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris has been coy on the pacey pass catcher’s availability.

Brandon Dorlus' injury update

According to CBS Sports, Brandon Dorlus is questionable to play in Week 18. The defensive standout is dealing with an abdomen issue in the lead-up to the must-win game.

Dorlus did not participate in Friday's training session, and was a last-minute addition to the injury report. The defensive tackle has performed admirably in his rookie season and will look to help his side if he takes the field as they make one last push to break their playoff drought.
