Mooney caught three of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-27 loss to the Panthers.
Sunday's contest marked just the second time that Mooney caught multiple passes in a game since Week 7. The veteran wideout has been a major disappointment this season, but he has the opportunity to turn things around with Drake London (knee) considered week-to-week due to a sprained PCL suffered in Week 11. Mooney will step into the No. 1 spot on the depth chart as a result, but he'll be catching passes from quarterback Kirk Cousins, as Michael Penix (knee) is on injured reserve.
