Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Rondale Moore was carted off the practice field on Wednesday, his right leg immobilized in an air cast near the end of a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins
The Falcons immediately called off practice amid the news that Moore was being taken to a local hospital in the Miami Gardens, Fla., area.
The injury occurred during the 11-on-11 practice period. With all the action directed toward the right corner of the end zone, Moore collapsed in the opposite corner, where he was tended to by doctors and trainers.
“It’s heartbreaking,” veteran defensive lineman Grady Jarrett said after practice. “Not much of a heartbreak like it.”
Moore, 24, played collegiately at Purdue and was selected in the second round (No. 49 overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 5-foot-7 receiver has contributed in the NFL, gaining a career-high 503 all-purpose yards with two touchdowns in eight games last season with the Arizona Cardinals.
He has 135 receptions for 1,201 yards and three TDs in 39 games (23 starts) for the Cardinals.
The Cardinals traded Moore to the Falcons in March for quarterback Desmond Ridder.
