The Falcons have ruled WR Darnell Mooney out for Monday night's game against the Bills because of a hamstring injury. It'll be the first game Mooney has missed since the opener.

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. It’s a minor surprise after he put in three limited practices this week. Mooney doesn’t seem too far from a return, but his absence today leaves Atlanta thin on pass-catchers. Ray-Ray McCloud, KhaDarel Hodge, and Casey Washington will play behind alpha Drake London. TE Kyle Pitts could also pick up extra targets with Mooney out.

ESPN's Marc Raimondi singled out Falcons WR Ray-Ray McCloud III as a "surprise" performer through the team's spring workouts. McCloud signed a two-year, $6 million deal with Atlanta in free agency and was generally expected to primarily return kicks. But McCloud reportedly also worked in with the first team at WR in spring and "performed well, catching passes from [Kirk] Cousins for big plays." McCloud will compete with Rondale Moore and sixth-round rookie Casey Washington for snaps behind lead duo Drake London and Darnell Mooney.
