Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore suffered a leg injury during a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins on Wednesday in Miami Gardens, Florida. The incident occurred towards the end of the practice session, prompting immediate attention from athletic trainers.
Moore, 24, was seen being carted off the field with an air cast on his leg as his teammates and players from both teams gathered around to show their support. The severity of the injury is yet to be determined, but Moore was taken to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation.
Having recently joined the Falcons after spending his first three seasons at Arizona, Moore has been working diligently during training camp. He has accumulated 135 receptions for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns during his time at Arizona. Despite being listed as a backup in the initial weeks of training camp, Moore's presence on the field has been notable.
Following the practice, Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins expressed his concern for Moore, stating, 'Thoughts and prayers are with Rondale. Not really sure what’s going on but hope it’s not serious.'
The joint practices between the Falcons and Dolphins concluded after two days of intense training sessions. Both teams are now gearing up for their first preseason game scheduled to take place on Friday night at Hard Rock Stadium.
As the football community awaits updates on Moore's condition, the focus remains on his recovery and well-being. The NFL community stands united in wishing Moore a speedy recovery and a swift return to the field.
