Moore, 24, had an air cast put on his right leg after he collapsed in the left corner of the end zone during the 11-on-11 practice.

Players from both teams took a knee as medical staff worked on the former Purdue receiver.

Moore was carted from the field and immediately transferred to the Baptist Health medical facility near Miami Gardens, Florida, per ESPN .

The joint practice was cut short following the incident.

“Thoughts and prayers are with Rondale,” shaken Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins told reporters.

“Not really sure what’s going on but hope it’s not serious.”

Now he has been placed on the season-ending reserve list.

“It’s heartbreaking,” Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett added.

“Not much of a heartbreak like it.”

Moore joined the Falcons this offseason in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals.

He had looked impressive in camp and is competing for the No. 3 wideout spot alongside Drake London and Darnell Mooney.

“Good guy. Always loved watching him play. Praying he will be ok,” wrote one fan on X.

“Oh no! Hoping for a speedy recovery,” wrote another.

“Wish we could turn injuries off,” sighed a third.

“Heartbreaking to see.. the glimpse we got of his pure talent as a Frosh at Purdue was amazing. Hope he has a full and speedy recovery,” commented a fourth.

Moore was selected 49th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

He spent three seasons in Arizona, catching 135 receptions for 1,201 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Moore arrived at the Falcons in March in a trade that sent quarterback Desmond Ridder to the Cardinals.

He was listed as a backup option in the Falcons’ latest depth chart, both at wide receiver and kickoff returner.

In a separate move, Atlanta have re-signed punter Ryan Sanborn.
