Darnell Mooney

Darnell Mooney (shoulder) is inactive for Week 18 against the Panthers.

Mooney, who sustained a shoulder injury during practice this week, will miss the final game of the regular season — a must-win matchup for the Falcons. His absence should be a fantasy boost for Kyle Pitts and Ray-Ray McCloud against a terrible Panthers coverage unit. The Falcons also declared CB Kevin King, ILB JD Bertrand, DL Brandon Dorlus, OL Elijah Wilkinson, and T Brandon Parker inactive against Carolina.
