Moore had an air cast put on his right leg after he collapsed in the left corner of the end zone during an 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, FL, 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.”
The Falcons have yet to offer a full diagnosis of Moore’s injury, which appears to be significant.
“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.
