      Marc Raimondi’s first year covering the Falcons was 2024, but it wasn’t his first year at ESPN. He joined the company in 2019 and was a top combat sports reporter. He also covered professional wrestling and wrote the book “Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Pro Wrestling’s New World Order Changed America,” which was published by Simon & Schuster in 2025. Raimondi also worked for the New York Post and Newsday, beginning in 2009, covering high school and college sports, plus the NFL, NFL, MLB and NHL.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London is inactive for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins.

London had been listed as questionable Saturday with a hip issue. He was listed as a limited participant in practice Friday with a hip injury, but with no injury designation for the game.

London, who leads the team in receiving yards (469) and receiving touchdowns (two), joins quarterback Michael Penix Jr. on the Falcons’ inactive list for Week 9. Kirk Cousins is starting in place of Penix, who is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee.

London, a fourth-year player, also dealt with a shoulder injury earlier this season, but didn’t miss a start. He had 1,271 yards receiving with 100 receptions and nine touchdown catches last season, all career-high marks.

Penix suffered a bone bruise in his left knee last weekend in a loss to the San Francisco 49ers. He was a limited participant in practice all week and listed as questionable Friday.

Falcons coach Raheem Morris said Friday that Cousins took “significant” reps with the first-team offense this week in practice, and he took more snaps later in the week than he did earlier.
