Will suit up vs. Saints Moore (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus New Orleans.
Impact Moore was limited at practice earlier in the week with a hamstring issue, but he was able to log a full practice Friday and will be available in Week 1. Detroit used a second-round pick on the rookie back in April, so it wouldn't be surprising if he got significant playing time right away.

Might come back next week Moore (groin) might return to the team next week, Nolan Bianchi of The Detroit News reports.
Impact The defensive end exited an early August practice session with a groin issue, returned about two weeks later and then surprisingly missed practice again Wednesday. Moore was selected in the second round by the Lions in April's draft after a breakout season at Michigan in 2025, when he recorded 30 tackles, including 10.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and three pass breakups. He should be able to compete for at least a rotational role in Detroit once he's healthy.

AUGUST 20 • SIDELIONREPORT.COM
Hopes to return soon The Lions hope Moore (groin) can return within 7-10 days, Richard Silva of The Detroit News reports.
Impact Moore left Sunday's practice session early with a groin issue, but it appears to be something the defensive end should be able to quickly overcome. With the second-round rookie out for at least a week, Tyler Lacy, Tyre West and Trevor Nowaske will likely continue to see greater opportunities with the second-team defense.
AUGUST 4 • ROTOWIRE
Exits practice with groin injury Moore left Sunday's training camp practice early to be evaluated for a groin injury, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
Impact The results of that evaluation will determine the next steps for Moore, who was a second-round selection of the Lions in the 2026 NFL Draft. The rookie out of Michigan is competing for rotational snaps at defensive end behind starters Aidan Hutchinson and D.J. Wonnum, with Tyler Lacy, Tyre West and Trevor Nowaske serving as Moore's main competition.
