Falcons’ injuries are forcing this struggling veteran right back into the spotlight

There has been no player on the Atlanta Falcons more disappointing than Darnell Mooney this season. With Drake London sidelined in Week 8, the 28-year-old caught just one pass for 11 yards in the 34-10 loss against the Dolphins—and even his rapport with Kirk Cousins couldn't save him.

After coming up just short of 1,000 receiving yards in his first season in Atlanta, Mooney has seen both injury woes and a lack of chemistry with Michael Penix Jr. play a factor into his severe regression in 2025. And his short time operating as the WR1 for the Dirty Birds has ended in complete disaster.
