The Atlanta Falcons have a handful of players on their first injury report of the week. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney (knee) and outside linebacker Matthew Judon (hamstring) were among four players limited at Wednesday’s practice.
Inside linebacker Troy Andersen (knee) did not participate due to a knee injury. Nate Landman was limited as he works his way back from the injured reserve list. Landman’s 21-day practice window was opened this week so he may return in time for Sunday’s game.
Mooney is coming off a monster performance in Week 5. The speedy wideout recorded nine catches for 105 receiving yards and two touchdowns against the Buccaneers. Mooney’s status is worth monitoring as the week goes on.
