Falcons WR Darnell Mooney to miss time with shoulder injury
Mooney was hurt diving to catch a long pass from quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Mooney, who had 64 receptions for 992 yards and five touchdowns during his first season with Atlanta a year ago, walked off the field with trainers and did not return.
Mooney missed Atlanta's season finale with a shoulder injury. It's unclear whether he re-injured the same shoulder Thursday.
The Falcons reportedly signed veteran wide receiver DJ Chark earlier Friday, before the nature of Mooney's injury was announced.
Atlanta's receiving corps is led by Mooney and Drake London, who is coming off a the first 100-catch season of his career in 2024.

Revealed – When Italy Star Will Be Ready To Return To Training For Inter Milan
Davide Frattesi should be able to return to training for Inter Milan in midweek. This according to today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi has been dealing with a persistent abdominal problem. The former Sassuolo midfielder suffered the issue during Inter's Champions League semifinal tie against Barcelona. Specifically, Frattesi suffered an inguinal hernia. This plagued him through the last few weeks of the season. Furthermore, the Italian international was unable to feature at the Club World Cup. He returned early from the United States. Therefore, in the end, Frattesi underwent surgery to correct the issue earlier this month.

Gretchen Walsh earns breakthrough swimming world title with second-fastest time in history

Report – Atalanta See Ex Southampton Star As Natural Successor To Inter Milan Target
Atalanta reportedly see Kamaldeen Sulemana as the readymade replacement for Inter Milan target Ademola Lookman. This according to today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews. Inter Milan have made Atalanta's Ademola Lookman their priority target. The Nerazzurri made an offer of €40 million for the Nigerian earlier this month. However, Atalanta rejected this initial bid – giving Inter a counteroffer of €50 million. However, that has not deterred Inter. Far from it – they are aiming to return with another offer very soon. Atalanta See Sulemana As Successor To Inter Target Lookman BERGAMO, ITALY – JANUARY 21: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta celebrates scoring his team's fourth goal during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 League Phase MD7 match between Atalanta BC and SK Sturm Graz at Stadio di Bergamo on January 21, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan are reportedly hoping to wrap things up quickly to sign Lookman. Reportedly, the Nerazzurri will make an improved offer tomorrow. And they want to make it official in the next few days. Meanwhile, the question of Atalanta finding a successor to Lookman could be crucial. Clearly, La Dea would be more open to selling the Nigerian if they have a replacement in mind. And according to the Gazzetta, Atalanta feel that the replacement for Lookman is already in their ranks. The Bergamo club signed forward Kamaldeen Sulemana from Southampton already this summer. And the 23-year-old Ghanian international is a player they're backing to replace Lookman.
