DJ Moore Injury Update: Is Chicago’s Star Playing on Sunday?

DJ Moore Injury Update

The Chicago Bears had to hold DJ Moore out of their first practice session this week. He was able to return in a limited fashion on Thursday and got in full reps on Friday, but the Bears still listed him as questionable for Sunday’s game.

While it’s a good sign that Moore returned to practice, it’s not guaranteed that he’ll suit up. However, head coach Matt Eberflus said that both Moore and defensive back Jaquan Brisker were “trending in the right direction,” to play on Sunday, which is a good sign.

The Bears have made no roster moves following Moore’s injury that suggest he won’t play.

Is DJ Moore Playing for Chicago on Sunday?

So, is DJ Moore playing for the Bears on Sunday? It’s likelier than not. The Bears could have added some skill-position depth via their practice squad or free agency but failed to do so. With Moore leading the team in receiving yards with 1,071 — 40% of their total — such a move would likely have to happen if Moore were to miss time.
