Overview

  • Moore was injured on special-teams coverage in the fourth quarter shortly after a 44-yard interception return for a touchdown.
  • Medical staff immobilized his right leg as teammates, including quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart, helped him onto the cart.
  • He gave a thumbs-up to the crowd while being taken to the locker room, and head coach Brian Daboll said afterward the situation "wasn't good."
  • The Giants beat the Patriots 42-10 at MetLife Stadium to close the preseason 3-0, with roster decisions due Aug. 26.
  • An undrafted rookie out of Mercer who earned a contract after rookie minicamp, Moore had been pushing for a spot on the 53-man roster.
