- Falcons WR Darnell Mooney to miss time due to shoulder injury, per report
According to a report from NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney is set to miss a few weeks due to a shoulder injury. Mooney went down during the team's first training camp practice on Thursday and did not return.
The former Bears wideout had a stellar 2024 season in Atlanta, recording 992 receiving yards as the team's No. 2 option to Drake London . We'll have to wait and see if Mooney is given an injury designation by head coach Raheem Morris before Saturday's practice.

The team is also expected to sign veteran DJ Chark Jr ., according to a report from NFL Network. Chark could take Mooney's place for as long as he's out. The 28-year-old last played for the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024.
In 2019, Chark topped 1,000 receiving yards for the Jaguars , leading to his first and only Pro Bowl appearance. He should be an adequate replacement for the time being.
