Questionable but still on IR Moore (elbow) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact Moore practiced without limitations all week, but he will need to be activated from injured reserve with an official transaction to be eligible to suit up Sunday. If he rejoins Carolina's receiving corps, Moore would likely return to a depth role behind Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Jalen Coker.

Practice window opening soon Head coach Dave Canales told reporters Friday that Moore's (elbow) practice window will open next week, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact The 30-year-old wideout has been sidelined since the Week 4 loss to the Patriots due to an elbow injury, but Canales' comments Friday suggest he's nearing a return. In the Panthers' first four games this season, Moore played 86 total snaps (81 on offense, five on special teams) and caught his lone target for five yards. Once he returns to full health, he's expected to play a depth role in the Panthers' receiving corps.

Suffers dislocated elbow Moore suffered a dislocated elbow in last Sunday's loss to the Patriots, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moore has since been placed on injured reserve and will be out a minimum of four weeks, but coach Dave Canales relayed Wednesday that Moore will be out for a while, suggesting he's likely to miss more than the minimum four contests. Brycen Tremayne and Jimmy Horn will handle depth receiver duties behind Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and slot man Hunter Renfrow.

Placed on IR The Panthers placed Moore (elbow) on injured reserve Wednesday, Darin Ganttof the team's official site reports.

Impact Moore will have to miss at least four games due to the elbow injury he suffered during Carolina's loss to New England in Week 4. Across his four regular-season appearances so far, Moore has tallied one catch for five yards (on one target) and carried the ball one for 12 rushing yards. In Moore's absence, rookie sixth-round pick Jimmy Horn figures to see more opportunities to log reserve snaps.

Won't return Sunday Moore (elbow) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Newton of ESPN.com and Joe Person of The Athletic report.

Impact Prior to his exit from the game, Moore carried once for 12 yards and did not record a target. In his absence, the Panthers' Week 4 depth at wideout is further taxed, with Xavier Legette (hamstring) having previously been made inactive Sunday. Tetairoa McMillan,Hunter Renfrow and Brycen Tremayne are now in line to lead the team's WR corps versus New England.

SEPTEMBER 28 • Associated Press

Carted off field after elbow injury Moore is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Patriots due to an elbow injury, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Moore suffered the injury on a 12-yard rushing attempt on the Panthers' first offensive play of the game. The injury was severe enough that he had to be carted off the field, and he'll have his injury evaluated in the locker room. With Moore in the locker room and Xavier Legette (hamstring) and Jimmy Horn (coach's decision) both inactive, the Panthers will turn to Hunter Renfrow, Brycen Tremayne and Dalevon Campbell to pick up the slack at wide receiver behind first-round rookie Tetairoa McMillan.

Filling in for Legette Moore is expected to serve as a starting receiver for Carolina in Sunday's game against New England, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact For the second game in a row, Moore is expected to have a regular spot in three-receiver sets for Carolina while Xavier Legette (hamstring) is sidelined. Despite handling a 97 percent snap share in the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Falcons, Moore was limited to just one reception for five yards on one target.

The Carolina Panthers have secured their first win of the season by defeating the Atlanta Falcons 30-0 on Sunday

SEPTEMBER 22 • Associated Press

Minimal output in win Moore caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.

Impact The veteran wideout went without a target and played just 23 offensive snaps through Carolina's first two games this season. However, with Xavier Legette (hamstring) inactive in Week 3, Moore saw a significant uptick in usage and logged a team-high 53 snaps among Panthers wide receivers. This large snap share didn't translate to production, as Carolina leaned heavily on the run while protecting a big lead. Moore could see increased opportunities again if Legette is sidelined in Week 4, when the Panthers travel to New England.

SEPTEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Spot start on tap Sunday Moore is expected to start Sunday's game against the Falcons with Xavier Legette (hamstring) inactive, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Moore hasn't received a target on minimal snap counts in two games to begin the season, but he's in line to be a part of the starting lineup along with No. 1 WR Tetairoa McMillan in Week 3. Whether or not that amounts to much attention for Moore from QB Bryce Young remains to be seen, especially with Hunter Renfrow (15 targets in 2025) also on hand, but Moore at least will be on the field to begin the contest.
