Darnell Mooney Misses Practice Again Ahead of Bills Game
The Atlanta Falcons are gearing up for their upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills, but concerns linger over the status of wide receiver Darnell Mooney. The match is scheduled for Monday night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Darnell Mooney’s Injury Update
Darnell Mooney has missed practice for two consecutive days due to a hamstring injury. Despite being spotted at practice while catching passes, he has not participated in drills. This leaves his availability for the game against the Bills in doubt.
A.J. Terrell Expected to Return
In contrast, cornerback A.J. Terrell appears to be on track to return. After sitting out two games with a hamstring issue, he expressed confidence in his readiness for the game. As of Friday, Terrell was listed as a limited participant in practice.
Coaching Perspective
Head coach Raheem Morris provided early-week insights on both players. He categorized Mooney’s condition as “day-to-day,” highlighting the uncertainty surrounding the receiver’s recovery. Terrell’s optimism offers a positive note for the Falcons’ defense as they prepare for a critical game.
Impact on Team Dynamics
The status of these players will significantly influence the Falcons’ game strategy. With both a starting cornerback returning and a key wide receiver potentially sidelined, adjustments may be necessary.
