Overview

  • Moore, an undrafted rookie out of Mercer, intercepted a pass and returned it 44 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter against the Patriots.
  • He suffered a severe right‑leg injury on a coverage play with 3:49 remaining, was carted off as teammates gathered, and head coach Brian Daboll said the situation "wasn't good."
  • The Giants said Moore was hospitalized with surgery planned, and The Athletic’s Dan Duggan reported he had successful surgery for a fractured femur with no other damage.
  • Quarterbacks Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jaxson Dart helped Moore onto the cart, and Dart later posted a message asking fans to keep Moore in their prayers.
  • With the 53‑man roster deadline on Tuesday, reporters noted injured reserve as a potential path for the team as discussions about MetLife Stadium’s playing surface resurfaced in coverage.
