The Atlanta Falcons have begun preparation for this Monday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders. Eight players, including wide receiver Darnell Mooney and linebacker Troy Andersen, were listed on the team’s Thursday injury report.
Mooney was limited due to a foot injury while Andersen did not participate due to a knee injury. Rookie defensive lineman Ruke Orhorhoro, who’s still technically on the injured reserve list, was also limited.
Safety Jessie Bates was a full participant despite battling a foot injury. Outside linebacker Matthew Judon was given a semi-rest day.

The Falcons will attempt to end their four-game losing streak when they take on the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night. Head coach Raheem Morris has continued to stand by Kirk Cousins amid the quarterback’s struggles.
Cousins must bounce against a beatable Raiders team to hold off rookie Michael Penix Jr. With a loss in Week 15, Atlanta’s postseason odds would essentially go up in smoke.
