Darnell Mooney is expected to miss several weeks due to a shoulder injury sustained while diving for a pass during practice. This injury may keep him out for most of the training camp, but it does not threaten his participation in Week 1. The Falcons have other receivers, such as KhaDarel Hodge and Jamal Agnew, ready to step in during his absence. Mooney, who signed a three-year deal with the team last offseason, had a productive debut season, finishing second in receptions and yards.
A shoulder injury is expected to sideline Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney for a few weeks. Mooney dove for a deep ball during full-team work and left the field with a trainer.
Mooney could be sidelined for most of training camp. The team has several receivers, including KhaDarel Hodge and Jamal Agnew, who can step up during his absence.
Despite the injury, Mooney's Week 1 availability isn't threatened. He signed a three-year, $39MM deal with the Falcons last offseason and had a strong debut season.
Mooney finished second on the team with 64 receptions for 992 yards and five touchdowns. The Falcons' lack of investment in the receiver room suggests confidence in Mooney.
