The Atlanta Falcons signed wide receiver DJ Chark, confirmed by his agent. Chark, who previously played with the Los Angeles Chargers, had a difficult season due to a hip injury, appearing in only seven games. His best performance was in 2019 with the Jacksonville Jaguars where he recorded 73 catches for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns. The Falcons have limited experience in the wide receiver position with Drake London as their top option, but Chark adds more speed and depth, potentially stepping up in light of Darnell Mooney's recent practice injury.
The Atlanta Falcons have signed former Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver DJ Chark, his agent Todd France confirmed with ESPN. Chark played in just seven games last season due to a hip injury.
Chark, 28, could be a depth piece for the Falcons, who needed that at wide receiver. However, he could end up being more.
Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney dived for a pass Thursday in practice from quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and appeared to be shaken up.
Atlanta didn't have much starting experience at the position beyond London, Mooney and McCloud, but Chark has started 51 games in his career and gives the team more speed at the position.
