Reason for Giants WR Darnell Mooney's absence vs. Dolphins revealed

New York Giants WR Darnell Mooney was excused from Saturday's game against the Miami Dolphins.

New York Giants wide receiver Darnell Mooney was absent from their preseason game against the Miami Dolphins due to an excused absence. According to head coach John Harbaugh, Mooney was granted permission to miss the game because his brother was getting married, and he was the best man. Despite missing the contest, Mooney is reported to be healthy and ready to play.

The Giants defeated the Dolphins 26-3 in Mooney's absence. Signed in March, Mooney received a one-year contract worth $10 million with the Giants. In his final two seasons with the Falcons, he accumulated 1,435 yards and six touchdowns, potentially becoming a reliable target for Jaxson Dart in the future. The Giants are expected to have Mooney available for their final preseason game against the New York Jets next weekend.
