Falcons WR Rondale Moore Suffers Significant Injury Ahead Of Season-Opening Matchup Against Steelers

Ahead of a much-anticipated Week 1 matchup on September 8 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta against the new-look Atlanta Falcons, the matchup might be without one key piece offensively for the Falcons and first-year head coach Raheem Morris.

According to a report from Miami Dolphins’ ESPN beat writer Marcel Louis-Jacques, who is in attendance for the joint practice between the Falcons and Dolphins, Atlanta wide receiver Rondale Moore had an air cast put on his leg and was transported to a local medical facility, leading to the joint practice being called off.

Moore was acquired via trade from the Arizona Cardinals this offseason in a trade for former quarterback Desmond Ridder, giving the Falcons more speed at the receiver position for new quarterback Kirk Cousins and new offensive coordinator Zac Robinson.
