The Falcons again will be shorthanded as they prepare for Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Receiver Drake London (knee) and defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus (groin) have been ruled out, along with safety DeMarcco Hellams (hamstring).

Rookie edge rusher James Pearce Jr. (back) and defensive lineman David Onyemata (foot) are listed as questionable.

It’s another disappointing injury report for the Falcons, who will miss London, their leading receiver, and Dorlus, one of their best pass rushers.
