The Vikings placed Moore (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore suffered a season-ending knee injury for the second summer in a row, after missing all of 2024 with the Falcons. He's scheduled for free agency again next offseason but will first face a lengthy rehab process before he can attempt to resume his career in 2026.

Moore (knee) will miss the entire 2025 season, Kevin Seifert of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's his second season-ending knee injury in as many summers, after Moore missed all of 2024 with the Falcons. He's only 25 years old but faces a tough path ahead to continue his football career, having last played in a regular-season game in 2023.

Moore has a "pretty significant" left knee injury, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell, and will have an MRI on Sunday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore was hurt on a punt return during the second quarter of Saturday's preseason contest against Houston. The veteran wideout was competing for a role as the Vikings' primary punt returner as well as for a depth wideout spot, but an extended absence could obviously impact those aspirations. Moore's MRI should provided more clarity about the specifics of his injury and a timeline for his potential return.

Moore suffered an apparent lower left leg injury on a punt return and was carted off during the second quarter of Saturday's preseason game against Houston, Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore is competing for the punt return and depth receiver role with the Vikings, but it looks like he suffered a significant injury in the team's first preseason game.

Moore is healthy for training camp and competing for work as a punt returner, Mark Craig of The Star Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2021 second-round pick never panned out as a starting wide receiver, but he'll try to continue his career as a return specialist and depth wideout after a non-contact knee injury last summer cost him the entire 2024 campaign. The Vikings return starting wideouts Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison and Jalen Nailor, with rookie third-round pick Tai Felton giving the team a fourth roster lock at the position. That likely leaves two spots up for grabs, with special teams potentially a big factor in determining them.

Moore (knee) has been an on-field participant at OTAs, per the Vikings' official site.

EDGE Analysis

Moore appears healthy as he begins work to carve out a depth role in Minnesota's wide receiver corps, where Jalen Nailor appears fairly secure as the No. 3 receiver behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. A non-contact knee injury sustained last August forced Moore to spend the entire 2024 season, his first and only in Atlanta, on IR. Across three years and 39 regular-season games with Arizona, the 2021 second-rounder combined for 135 catches for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns, plus 52 carries for 249 rushing yards. If Moore's recovery hasn't impacted his burst, his unusual skill set could find a place in head coach Kevin O'Connell's offense.

The Vikings signed Moore (knee) on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Moore missed the entire 2024 season with a non-contact knee injury he suffered in a joint practice with the Dolphins last August. He was a second-round pick by the Cardinals in 2021 and appeared in 39 games for the team across three seasons, catching 135 passes for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns. In Minnesota, Moore will look to compete with Jalen Nailor for a depth job behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.

The Falcons placed Moore (knee) on injured reserve Thursday, ruling him out for the entire 2024 campaign, Terrin Waack of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore was carted off the field due to what was reported as a non-contact knee injury during Wednesday's joint practice with the Dolphins, and Adam Schefter of ESPN confirms that the issue is severe enough to rule him out for the year. It's brutal timing for the 2021 second-round pick, who was traded to Atlanta earlier this offseason and had an opportunity to revitalize his career under new Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson. Moore will now turn his attention toward recovering for the 2025 season, while Ray-Ray McCloud now seems to have a clearer path to the No. 3 wide receiver spot.

Smith was carted off the field at Wednesday's practice due to a non-contact right knee injury, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Moore's injury caused Wednesday's joint session with the Dolphins to be called early, an indication that he could be dealing with a severe issue. A torn ACL or another major knee injury would be a brutal development for the 2021 second-round pick, who has spent training camp mostly working with the second-string offense and is competing to carve out a role on offense behind top wideouts Drake London and Darnell Mooney. If Moore's injury indeed results in a long-term absence, Ray-Ray McCloud will be left with almost no competition for the No. 3 wide receiver spot.

Ray-Ray McCloud seems to have the "inside track" over Moore to be Atlanta's slot receiver, Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

McCloud got a lot of first-team snaps throughout the offseason program and now is getting most of the slot work with Kirk Cousins and the starting offense during the first week of training camp. Moore, meanwhile, reportedly has been one of Michael Penix's favorite targets on the second-string offense, which suggests the 5-foot-7 receiver is at least making a case to earn more reps with the starters. There's still plenty of time for things to change, but it's not a great sign for Moore that he's currently behind a veteran journeyman like McCloud who is mostly known for returning punts and kicks.
