ATLANTA -- Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney will be inactive for the team's Week 1 game against the division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team announced Sunday.
Mooney injured his right shoulder July 24 during the very first practice of training camp. He made a dive for a Michael Penix Jr. pass and landed hard. Mooney got up gingerly and left the field with a trainer.
At that point, head coach Raheem Morris said Mooney would be out for "a couple of weeks." Mooney only returned to practice a little over a week ago and was listed as limited this week.
