Falcons just made stance on Ray-Ray McCloud clear with shocking Week 6 decision

The Atlanta Falcons will be without Darnell Mooney in Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills, so the Falcons were expected to lean on Ray-Ray McCloud in his absence. However, a shocking twist saw McCloud be named a surprise inactive just 90 minutes before kickoff on Monday Night Football—and he isn't injured.

#Falcons inactives for Week 6:

WR Darnell Mooney
WR Ray-Ray McCloud III
CB Clark Phillips III
RB Nathan Carter
CB Billy Bowman
DL LaCale London
OL Jack Nelson— Marc Raimondi (@marcraimondi) October 13, 2025

With the receiver room already banged up, this is a puzzling decision.
