Overview

• Mooney suffered a shoulder injury diving for a ball in practice and is slated to miss multiple weeks of training camp.
• Sports medicine specialists warn of a moderate AC sprain or labral tear and cite his 2020 shoulder issue as a potential complication.
• Atlanta added veteran receiver D.J. Chark on a one-year deal to reinforce the depth chart after Mooney’s injury.
• Mooney’s absence delays critical timing reps with second-year starter Michael Penix Jr. as the Falcons build their passing attack.
• Chark brings proven speed and experience, highlighted by a 4.34-second 40-yard dash and a 2019 Pro Bowl season, to bolster the offense.
