Darnell Mooney

Injury not considered to be serious Early prognosis is #Falcons WR Darnell Mooney's hamstring injury from Sunday is not serious, per source. (ESPN - Jeremy Fowler) FF Today's Take: Mooney did not return to Week 10 game against the Broncos after suffering the injury in the third quarter. In addition to the injury not being a serious one, the other bit of good news is that Mooney will get a week to rest with Atlanta going on its bye in Week 12. Assuming he is cleared to play, consider Mooney a strong WR3 option with WR2 upside in Week 13 versus the Chargers.

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney's hamstring injury is not believed to be serious, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Mooney gets a well-timed Week 12 bye, and it sounds like he'll have a chance to play come Week 13. We'll keep you posted on his status when the Falcons get back to work next week.

Mooney exited in the third quarter of Sunday's loss to the Broncos and did not return to the field. The veteran receiver has turned in a solid season for the Falcons thus far, catching 48 passes for 711 yards and five touchdowns while averaging 14.8 YPR. The Falcons now enter their Week 12 bye, so it's possible he'll have enough time to recover in time for Week 13's game against Chargers. We'll likely have more information on his availability closer to next week.

The hamstring injury that forced Mooney out of Sunday's 38-6 loss to the Broncos isn't viewed as serious, a source tells Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.

Only Drake London had more targets (7) than McCloud on the day. Operating almost exclusively from the slot, McCloud averaged 7.6 yards per catch as an underneath option before the Falcons rested their starters in the fourth quarter of the lopsided affair. If Darnell Mooney misses time with a hamstring injury, McCloud could see a bump in targets when the Falcons return from bye in Week 13.
