Reports cited by Yahoo Sports indicated Moore may have sustained an acromioclavicular, or AC, sprain. No confirmed team diagnosis, imaging results, injury grade or recovery timeline was provided.

The injury occurred as Moore dived for a pass that bounced off his chest. Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin also moved to defend the play and landed awkwardly on Moore.
