The Chicago Bears picked up a dramatic win over the Washington Commanders on Monday night, but it came at a cost. Star wideout D.J. Moore did not travel back with the team, instead spending a night at a hospital in the D.C. area.
The Bears announced after the game that Moore was being transported to a local hospital for “precautionary medical attention.” The team did not announce a specific injury to Moore.
Moore had three catches for 42 yards in the Bears’ narrow 25-24 win in Week 6. He took some hard hits in the contest and was seen grimacing on the sideline at times, but never left the game. On the team’s final drive of the night, Moore set some key blocks that allowed running back D’Andre Swift to get the team in field-goal range.

The 28-year-old Moore has been a standout since joining Chicago, leading the team in receiving in both 2023 and 2024. He was out to somehow of a slow start this season thanks to the emergence of Rome Odunze, though Moore still ranks second on the team in catches.
Moore has been remarkably healthy over his career, playing in 17 games in four straight seasons. If he needs to miss time, the Bears could rely more on Odunze and rookie Luther Burden, who showed off strong run-after-catch skills during the team’s Week 6 win over Washington.
