Atlanta Falcons

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (concussion) missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday as he remains in the league's concussion protocols. Mooney suffered his concussion in the Week 16 win over the Arizona Cardinals and didn't play in last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons. With the Bears season already over, it's likely that Mooney will be held out of the Week 18 regular season finale at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. The 26-year-old hasn't scored a touchdown since the season opener and has had another disappointing year, catching only 50.8 percent of his 61 targets (31 catches) for 414 yards and the lone score in 15 games. If Mooney isn't on the field this weekend, it will mean more playing time for rookie Tyler Scott, Equanimeous St. Brown and Velus Jones Jr.

The San Francisco 49ers opened the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III (ribs) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday and he was a full participant in practice. McCloud initially landed on Injured Reserve on Dec. 9. The 49ers now have 21 days to decide whether to officially activate the 27-year-old pass-catcher from IR. They won't be in any rush, as they'll have a first-round bye in the wild-card round of the playoffs next week before returning to action in the Divisional Round. San Fran also plays the Los Angeles Rams in a meaningless Week 18 game this Sunday, so it's possible McCloud could return for that. Even if he plays this weekend, McCloud won't be an option in fantasy lineups, as he's caught only nine passes for 113 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games this year.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Darnell Mooney (concussion) is still in the league's concussion protocol and will not practice on Wednesday. Mooney did not play in the Week 17 win over the Atlanta Falcons and is trending in the wrong direction to suit up this Sunday at Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers in the Week 18 regular season finale. The Bears are already eliminated from the playoffs, so they certainly won't rush Mooney back onto the field this weekend. If the 26-year-old doesn't play against Green Bay, he'll end his frustrating fourth year in the NFL with 31 catches on 61 targets for 414 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games played. If Mooney ends up missing a second straight game, rookie Tyler Scott will once again have a bigger role behind DJ Moore. Equanimeous St. Brown, Velus Jones Jr. and Trent Taylor would also be more involved.
