Chark, who’s 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, played last season with the Chargers. He was drafted by the Jaguars in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft out of LSU.

It didn’t take long for the bad news bug to hit the Atlanta Falcons trainingcamp. It was announced late Friday night that Falcons wide receiver two, DarnellMooney, would miss “several weeks” with a shoulder injury suffered in the firstpractice of the season.
