Off injury report Moore (undisclosed) is not on the injury report and will be available to face Syracuse on Saturday.

Impact Moore has been listed as day-to-day with an undisclosed injury, but his absence from the latest edition of the injury report suggests the star tailback will be at full speed for the ACC opener. Moore has 27 carries for 114 yards and a touchdown, as well as four catches for 44 receiving yards, in four games this season.

Day-to-day with injury Offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer indicated that Moore (undisclosed) is day-to-day but expected to play ahead of Duke's matchup against Syracuse on Saturday, per Anna Snyder of...

Impact Moore was previously taken off Duke's injury report before playing in last week's victory over North Carolina State, so news of his status comes as a bit of a surprise. The 5-foot-10 running back was limited in the game against the Wolfpack, logging just three rushing attempts for negative one yard on the day. Despite the news of his injury, Brewer made it clear he expects Moore to be good to go against Syracuse on Saturday.

Taken off injury report Moore (undisclosed) isn't listed on Duke's injury report ahead of Saturday's matchup versus NC State.

Impact Moore had popped up on the injury report Friday but will be good to go for Saturday's game. He has rushed for 115 yards and a touchdown on 24 carries across the first three games of the season and will look to keep producing versus NC State.

SEPTEMBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Pops up on injury report Moore (undisclosed) is listed as probable on Duke's injury report Friday night ahead of the clash with NC State.

Impact Moore wasn't on any of Duke's prior injury reports this week, so his listing here is somewhat of a surprise. The tailback has been part of a committee backfield also featuring Nate Sheppard and Anderson Castle, and he's posted 24 carries for 115 yards and one touchdown this fall.

Struggles to find daylight again Moore totaled 11 carries for 41 yards and reeled in 0 of 1 targets for zero yards during Saturday's 34-27 loss to Tulane.

Impact Moore has struggled to find room on the ground this season through three games, and Duke's latest loss was no different. Moore has been limited to 24 carries for 115 yards and one score through three contests. Duke used four running backs against Tulane to try to find a spark, and true freshman Nate Sheppard led the way on the ground with 75 rushing yards. Moore, meanwhile, isn't showing much in the way of explosiveness at the moment.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Stymied on the ground Moore had six rushes for 30 yards and caught all four targets for 44 yards during Saturday's 45-19 loss versus Illinois.

Impact Moore only managed to log 30 yards in Week 2 as he was largely bottled up on the ground again. In the opener against Elon, he ran for 44 yards and a score on just seven carries. Moore's four catches for 44 yards helped him salvage the day somewhat, but Duke was playing catch-up with Illinois for much of the game, which prevented the Blue Devils from truly establishing a rushing attack.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Bottled up in opener Moore accrued seven carries for 44 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's 45-17 victory over Elon.

Impact Moore didn't need to have a big day for Duke to ultimately dominate Elon, but the tailback didn't get all that much going in his somewhat limited action. Anderson Castle, a fellow Blue Devils' tailback, out-gained him on just three carries. Duke didn't need to overwork Moore in the opener, but you'd like to see it let him get into more of a rhythm for him to reach his potential in this backfield. He has a chance to make a big statement next week against ranked Illinois.

Impact It was Moore's first game since Week 2 against Northwestern, but the tailback didn't exactly appear to be at 100 percent given his single snap. Still, there's no official word on an injury for Moore, but it remains to be seen just how involved he'll be moving forward.
