"When Darnell Mooney was injured way back in late July, the best estimate we got from the team was that he would miss a "few weeks" of action with a shoulder injury. There were rumors swirling around at the time that the injury might be more severe than the Falcons were indicating, but without the team or reporters in the building giving us anything concrete, we just waited and hoped for the best."
"The puzzling thing for anyone who saw Mooney do stellar work all last season was that he didn't look very much like Mooney, something we chalked up to rust and recovery at the time. Mooney would go on to miss another week with a hamstring injury, and thus far his season has been a massive disappointment compared to our high expectations, with the veteran receiver and Michael Penix Jr. seemingly not on the same page through0ut the year"
Darnell Mooney suffered a broken collarbone in July and missed training camp. The team initially described the absence as "a few weeks" for a shoulder injury, prompting speculation that the issue was worse. Mooney missed Week 1, returned in Week 2 looking rusty, then missed additional time with a hamstring ailment. His performance has been well below expectations, including drops and limited chemistry with quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Raheem Morris confirmed the July broken collarbone on Dukes and Bell, responding sharply when questioned about Mooney's current production and the team's need to continue working through struggles.
