In response to criticism that he was dogging it, Bears wide receiver DJ Moore said he injured his ankle on the play where he left the field while Caleb Williams was still scrambling to find an open receiver against the Cardinals.

“Tweaked the ankle,” Moore said. “I was coming back [toward the quarterback] because I’d seen Caleb was scrambling. My ankle went in and out. I couldn’t stop, so my momentum took me out of bounds and then I just walked off.
