FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons will be without wide receiver Darnell Mooney for a second time this season.
Mooney, the Falcons' No. 2 wide receiver, has been ruled out for Week 6 because of a hamstring injury, the team announced Saturday. The Falcons host the Buffalo Bills on "Monday Night Football."
Mooney injured the hamstring in the team's win over the Washington Commanders in Week 4. Atlanta had a bye last week. This is Mooney's second injury of the summer and early fall. He also injured his right shoulder diving for a Michael Penix Jr . pass on the very first day of training camp July 24. Mooney missed all of camp and Week 1 with that injury.
The Falcons are expected to ask for more from second-year wide receiver Casey Washington with Mooney out, in addition
