The theme of the Atlanta Falcons’ 2025 season will be doing whatever is necessary to get the most out of second-year quarterback Michael Penix Jr—and that requires the offense to be at full strength. Losing Penix’s blind side protector in Kaleb McGary for the season was a significant setback, but the team seemingly feels confident in Elijah Wilkinson and Storm Norton when he returns from injury.
But just as important has been the shoulder injury Darnell Mooney has been battling for the entirety of training camp. The Dirty Birds boast a solid receiver core, but aside from Drake London, the room is not deep enough to genuinely produce if the Tulane product misses more time.
