FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The Atlanta Falcons will be without receiver Rondale Moore for the 2024 season because of a right knee injury.
The team placed Moore on injured reserve Thursday, a day after he left the field in an air cast during a joint practice with the Miami Dolphins in Florida. The same teams are scheduled to face off Friday night in the preseason opener for both teams at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
The 5-foot-7, 181-pound Moore, 24, was acquired in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals in March for quarterback Desmond Ridder, who was Atlanta’s primary starter behind center last season. Moore, a second-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft from Purdue who is in the final year of his rookie contract, caught 135 passes for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns in three seasons with the Cardinals.
In other developments Thursday, Atlanta re-signed punter Ryan Sanborn, who spent most of the offseason with the team before being released on July 24.
