FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons started the week with concerns about the status of their top two wide receivers. They'll end their week feeling confident about Drake London and Darnell Mooney's availability on Sunday night when the take on the Minnesota Vikings.
Mooney missed the Falcons' season opener due to a shoulder injury he sustained on the first day of training camp. In Week 1 against the Bucs, London went down hard in the fourth quarter and left the game. He did not return, and it was later reported he injured his shoulder, which this week's injury reports confirmed.
After logging two limited practices to start the week, London and Mooney were both full participants on Friday.
"I do expect him to play," Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said of London on Wednesday. "That's not saying that he is, but when you ask me, 'Do I expect him to play?' of course. Drake's the ultimate tough guy, and when he says he's going to go practice, that usually tells you a lot."
The game report isn't all roses for Atlanta, however. Rookie defenders James Pearce Jr. and Billy Bowman Jr. are both listed as questionable, although the latter was a full participant on Friday. Pearce Jr. tied for the lead among all rookies with four pressures in Week 1, and Bowman Jr. earned a starting role for the defense in training camp. The Falcons will want both rookies out there against Minnesota's offense.
Notably, Atlanta will be without a pair of veterans on Sunday night. Returner Jamal Agnew has been ruled out due to a groin injury and safety Jordan Fuller will be held out with a knee injury.
