DJ Moore Logs Second Consecutive Full Practice on Thursday

Thursday, September 11, 4:54 PM

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (abdomen/groin) practiced in full for the second straight day on Thursday, per The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. Moore took a nasty hit towards the end of Chicago's Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, but it appears he is trending towards playing in Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. Moore was out-targeted by second-year Bears wideout Rome Odunze in the team's season opener, but did earn three carries, which could be an indication of an expanded role in 2025. Moore profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2/high-end WR3 this week against the Lions.

Drake London, Darnell Mooney Both Limited Again on Thursday

Thursday, September 11, 5:51 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receivers Drake London (shoulder) and Darnell Mooney (shoulder) were both listed as limited participants for the second straight day in practice on Thursday. London injured his shoulder in the fourth quarter of the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while Mooney was inactive for the season opener. It sounds like they could both be available on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 2, but they could draw questionable tags on Friday if they are unable to upgrade to full practices. Head coach Raheem Morris said earlier this week that he expects London to play this weekend, but it's not a guarantee. A questionable tag would make London, normally a must-start WR1, much more risky going into Sunday night. London was heavily involved in Week 1 before getting hurt, catching eight of 15 targets for 55 yards.
