Falcons' Darnell Mooney to miss several weeks with shoulder injury

The Atlanta Falcons will be without one of their top wide receivers in the short term.

Darnell Mooney has a shoulder injury and will be out for several weeks, the team announced Friday night.

In the Falcons' first practice of training camp Thursday, Mooney dove for a deep Michael Penix Jr. pass down the right sideline during 11-on-11 work and stayed on the ground for a few seconds before getting up. Mooney walked off the field with a trainer afterward, with his helmet in hand, and did not return.

Mooney has been the team's No.
