Moore (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports. Afterward, the safety said that he'll be a game-time call Sunday at New Orleans. Although he isn't experiencing any discomfort in his foot, Moore further stated that the Falcons' trainers will make the decision on active status in Week 16. An appearance would mark only his seventh of the season, but he'll look to add to 23 tackles (11 solo) and two forced fumbles against a Saints squad that has racked up 23 turnovers through 14 games in 2014.

Moore (foot) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Steelers, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. After leaving last Monday's loss at Green Bay due to a foot injury, Moore failed to practice in any capacity during the week. Now that he's been ruled out, the Falcons will turn to Kemal Ishmael and Dezmen Southward to plug the hole at safety.

Moore (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Steelers. Moore did not practice Friday, which is never a good sign, and ESPN's Vaughn McClure wrote that he does not expect Moore to play Sunday. If you're hoping to use him, you'll need to check back before Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff to see whether he is active.

Moore (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, the Falcons' official site reports. Two days removed from suffering what was initially termed an ankle injury, Moore's ailment instead extends to the rest of his foot. The severity is currently unknown, but his availability for Sunday's game versus the Steelers could clear up by the end of the week.

Moore left Monday's game against the Packers with an ankle injury, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports. Moore is considered questionable to return, and he was seen back on the sideline wearing a helmet. Kemal Ishmael, who filled in for an injured Moore from Week 5-12, is in the game alongside Dwight Lowery.

Moore (shoulder) is listed as active Sunday versus the Cardinals. Available for the first time since Week 4, when he sustained a severe shoulder injury, Moore could garner most of the reps at safety off the bat, thereby pushing Kemal Ishmael (69 tackles, four interceptions, and one touchdown) to the sideline.

Moore (shoulder) is probable for Sunday's game against Arizona. With Moore back on the field, it figures to push Kemal Ishmael mostly to the bench after serving as a high-level IDP in Moore's absence.

Moore (shoulder) has returned from the designated for return injured reserve Tuesday, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Jim Thomas reports. He has been out for six weeks with a serious shoulder injury, but is back practicing with the team and could return to the field at some point down the stretch.

Moore (shoulder) will be placed on the Falcons' injured reserve/designated to return list, ESPN reports. Moore suffered a serious shoulder injury during Sunday's game and will consequently be ruled out for the foreseeable future, representing a major blow to a Falcons team currently ranked second-last in total defense. The 29-year-old entered this season coming off a career-year that included 86 tackles (67 solo), three interceptions, three forced fumbles, two forced fumbles, two sacks and seven pass defenses last year. Once Moore was forced to exit Sunday's game, second-year player Kemal Ishmael replaced him at strong safety and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan also deployed regular three-safety sets, with rookie Dez Southward joining veteran free safety Dwight Lowery and Ishmael at the back.

Moore's teammates were not optimistic about the safety's shoulder injury after Sunday's game, ESPN reports. Moore, who had 16 tackles (nine solo) and a forced fumble through three games, was replaced by Kemal Ishmael. The 29-year-old Moore produced across the board last year, piling up 86 tackles (67 solo), three interceptions, three forced fumbles, two forced fumbles, two sacks and seven pass defenses. He had a similarly excellent stat line in 2012, albeit over just 12 games.
