Falcons receive boost as Drake London and Darnell Mooney return for pivotal Week 2 matchup

The Atlanta Falcons have received a significant lift ahead of their Week 2 showdown against the Minnesota Vikings, with both wide receivers Drake London and Darnell Mooney cleared to play. As confirmed in the Falcons’ final injury report, neither player carries a designation, signaling their readiness for action on Sunday.

Both London and Mooney had been dealing with shoulder injuries that had placed them on the injury report for consecutive weeks. Their practice participation showed a positive trend as they began the week as limited participants on Wednesday and Thursday before fully participating on Friday.

The return of these key players is crucial for the Falcons as they prepare to face a formidable Vikings defense. London, who emerged as a reliable target in his rookie season, is expected to play a pivotal role. Meanwhile, Mooney’s return adds depth and experience to the receiving corps, enhancing Atlanta’s offensive potential.

For Mooney, this game marks an important comeback. Following a challenging start to the season, his presence on the field will undoubtedly bolster the Falcons’ passing game and provide quarterback support against a defense that is known for applying pressure.

With both players now available, the Falcons are poised to make a strong statement in what promises to be a competitive clash with the Vikings. Their performance could be instrumental in shaping the early narrative of the season for Atlanta.
