Falcons rule out wide receiver Mooney vs. Buffalo

The Atlanta Falcons can’t count on WR Darnell Mooney for a 2^nd time in the current campaign.

Darnell, Atlanta’s 2^nd wide receiver, will miss the upcoming MNF vs. the Buffalo Bills as he suffers from a hamstring problem, the organization revealed today.

The WR sustained his injury in Atlanta’s victory against the Commanders in Week 4. The Falcons had a bye week. He’s injured for a 2^nd time since the summer. Mooney sustained a right shoulder problem on the 1^st day of training camp at the end of July, before being unavailable until the end of the camp and the opening week.

Now the franchise must trust more 2^nd-year WR Casey Washington with Darnell unavailable, along with other starters Drake London, Ray-Ray McCloud III, and TE Kyle Pitts.

Mooney has 7 catches for 79 yards in 3 matches this campaign. In the past season, Darnell finished with 64 catches for 992 yards and a career-high 5 TDs.

Atlanta’s top CB  Kyle Pitts, who missed the match against Washington also with a hamstring problem, is cleared ahead of the match on Monday and is expected to start vs. the Bills.
