DAVID MOORE NEWS

Impressive TD in win Moore brought in both targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Impact The veteran journeyman recorded his first touchdown since 2020 on a nifty 52-yard catch and run in the fourth quarter that sealed the game for the Buccaneers. Moore was added to the active roster earlier in the week after the team used up his three practice-squad elevations, and given the knack for the end zone he displayed early in his career with the Seahawks, the seven-year pro could be a surprise contributor down the stretch if he sees enough snaps.

Headed for active roster Moore was signed to the Buccaneers' 53-man roster from their practice squad Wednesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Moore was running out of practice squad elevation opportunities after being promoted for Tampa Bay's last three games. The 28-year-old has one catch for 11 yards on two targets with 32 offensive snaps in that span. He should operate as the team's No. 4 or 5 option at wide receiver in the final weeks of the season.

Called up for third time The Buccaneers elevated Moore from the practice squad Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Impact This is the third straight game Moore has been promoted from the practice squad, which means the Bucs would have to sign him to their active roster if they wanted to play him for the rest of the season. Moore hasn't registered a catch in his two appearances this season and his split his limited snaps between offense and special teams.

Released from injured reserve The Bears released Moore (lower leg) from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Moore was slated to miss the entire 2022 campaign after landing on injured reserve, but he'll now have a chance to play again this season after he clears his current injury.

Placed on injured reserve Moore (lower leg) was placed on IR on Sunday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Moore was carted off the field during practice Aug. 9. The 27-year-old's absence for the 2022 season is another blow to the Bears' wide receiver corps, who will already start the season without N'Keal Harry (ankle), while Byron Pringle (quadriceps) has also missed time.

Carted off practice field Moore was carted off the field after suffering an apparent lower body injury during 1-on-1 drills Tuesday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Moore reportedly had difficulty putting weight on his right leg. The timing of the injury, especially if it is ultimately deemed significant, is brutal for Chicago's already-thin wide receiver corps. N'Keal Harry is believed to be nursing a high-ankle sprain, while Velus Jones (undisclosed) and Byron Pringle (quadriceps) have also sat out recent practices. As Saturday's preseason opener against Kansas City approaches, the top healthy options behind Darnell Mooney are Equanimeous St. Brown, Dazz Newsome, Dante Pettis and Tajae Sharpe.

Struggling with drops Moore has had many dropped passes, both in one-on-one drills as well as in full-squad snaps, Gene Chamberlain of SI.com reports.

Impact After averaging 387 yards and and four touchdowns with the Seahawks between 2018 and 2020, Moore played in just three games (and 23 snaps) with the Broncos and Packers last year. During camp, he's struggled with drops, which will likely put him in a difficult position as he tries to earn a roster spot with the Bears.

Restored to practice squad Moore was restored to the Packers' practice squad from the practice squad COVID-19 list Monday.

Impact Moore spent a week in COVID-19 protocols, but he'll now be able to practice with the team again. He was with the active roster Week 17 and handled return duties. Whether or not he'll have a chance to reprise the role in the postseason now that he's healthy is not yet known.

Shifts to practice squad COVID list Moore has reverted to the Packers' practice squad and was subsequently placed on the practice squad reserve/COVID-19 list.

Impact Moore was elevated to the Packers' active roster for their Week 16 victory over the Vikings. It was his fourth time suiting up this season, and first time serving as the team's return man. He will now be required to clear the league's health and safety protocols before returning to practice.

Likely primary returner Moore was elevated to the Packers' active roster Saturday.

Impact The Packers have been desperate to find a competent returner on special teams and Moore might just be the answer given his limited experience as both a kick and punt returner with the Seahawks. The 26-year-old briefly saw a stint with the Broncos earlier this season, but he could see a much larger role with the Packers if he's able to prove his competence on special teams.
