Falcons’ wide receiver Moore to IR with campaign-ending injury

The Atlanta Falcons placed WR Rondale Moore on the reserve/injured list today due to a campaign-ending knee problem.

The wide receiver was carted off during a joint practice yesterday with Miami in Florida. An air cast was placed on Rondale’s right knee, and the WR was taken to an on-site medical facility.

The problem was sustained during a passing play when rookie QB Michael Penix Jr. hit WR Josh Ali on the right side of the end zone during 11-on-11 drills.

Rondale (24) was acquired in an exchange with the Cardinals a few months ago for QB Desmond Ridder, who was the Falcons’ primary starter under center in the past campaign.

On the 1^st Atlanta depth chart of the year, Rondale was labeled as the 4^th WR on the franchise and 2^nd in the slot.

The Falcons re-inked punter Ryan Sanborn, who had spent most of the offseason with the team.
