Darnell Mooney missing time is an opportunity for the Falcons to become a better team

The Atlanta Falcons are going to be without Darnell Mooney for “most” of training camp and/or a “few weeks”, a bummer way to start the first day. If you’re like me, it’s easy to think negatively after taking in the information, and that was my first inclination last night.

Yes, it’s good that Mooney isn’t expected to miss time during the regular season, for now. But Michael Penix Jr needed as many reps with the top guys as possible, and Mooney provides a skillset no one else in the wide receiver. room offers.
