The wide receiver played the entire MNF game against Washington Commanders. He looked fine postgame, smiling with teammates following the Bears’ 25-24 victory in the hard-fought, high-scoring affair.
Then came the official announcement that left every panicked fan scratching their head.
DJ Moore Reportedly Rushed to Hospital After MNF Win vs. Commanders
Moore caught three passes for 42 yards and took a few hard hits but didn’t seem seriously hurt during MNF. The issue likely started in the first quarter after a 17-yard reception. He briefly visited the medical tent but returned immediately.
Everyone now knows he kept playing through pain and was on the field for almost 94% of Chicago’s offensive snaps. On the game-winning drive, Moore threw a key downfield block that helped set up Cairo Santos’s deciding field goal.
The franchise wideout is back in Chicago after spending the night in a hospital, where he was evaluated for a groin injury, according to coach Ben Johnson. The injury apparently worsened as the game progressed, but Moore refused to leave the field.
DJ Moore was taken from Northwest Stadium in an ambulance postgame to a local area hospital for precautionary medical evaluation. He will remain in the area overnight, per the team.

“DJ Moore was taken from Northwest Stadium in an ambulance postgame to a local area hospital for precautionary medical evaluation. He will remain in the area overnight, per the team,” ESPN reporter Courtney Cronin revealed after midnight.
According to reports, wide receivers coach Antwaan Randle El accompanied Moore in the ambulance while the rest of the team flew back to Chicago. The coaching staff wasn’t taking any chances with their top offensive weapon.
Fans React to News About D.J. Moore’s Emergency Health Condition
Johnson, who seemingly threw an F-bomb on QB Caleb Williams, said Tuesday on ESPN Chicago that Moore’s stay was related to a groin injury and he’s going to be considered “day-to-day,” but should be fine. The overnight hospital stay was purely precautionary, ensuring nothing more serious developed.
But groin injuries can be tricky, and fans couldn’t ignore his report of being sent to the hospital. Social media hit like a truck when news broke about the emergency ambulance ride. The fans here were celebrating the huge road win and then got absolutely speechless for a moment.
One surprised fan wrote, “Hospital? Wait, it was that bad?”
Another user added, “He was limping hard before that play. Sincerely hope he’s ok.”
A third claimed, “He’s a gamer, no matter what. Hope he’s ok.”
A fourth humorously penned, “He had kidney stones after the game.”
The fifth panicked user added, “I’m so scared; I hope we get DJ back soon.”
The confusion made sense. Moore showed zero signs of distress after the final whistle. Nobody expected an emergency medical evaluation after watching Moore finish the game strong. That’s what made the hospital news so jarring.
