Moore (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Moore appears to have a picked up a concussion in the Panthers' loss the Cowboys on Sunday, despite playing 28 offensive snaps and catching two of his four targets for 19 yards. The veteran wideout's limited session Wednesday is promising, but he still must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to suit up in Week 16, when the Panthers play the Cardinals.

Panthers' David Moore: Modest showing in Week 15
Rotowire
Moore caught two of his four targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 30-14 loss to the Cowboys.
The veteran wideout saw minimal offensive work in the first three quarters of Sunday's loss with the return and emergence of undrafted rookie Jalen Coker (4-110-1). However, Moore was targeted four times in the fourth quarter after 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette exited the Week 15 loss with a groin injury. Moore could continue to see increased work with Carolina's first-team offense in the Week 16 matchup against the Cardinals if Legette is unable to suit up.

Panthers' David Moore: Catches two passes vs. Eagles
Rotowire
Moore caught two of his five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.
For the third consecutive game, Moore saw increased offensive work with rookie Jalen Coker (quadriceps) sidelined Sunday. The veteran wideout finished third among Panthers receivers in yards in Week 14, trailing Adam Thielen (102 yards) and Xavier Legette (39 yards). Moore has now caught 26 of his 46 targets for 267 yards and one touchdown in 12 appearances this season, with the bulk of that production coming over the last three games (13 receptions for 146 yards and one touchdown). His role on the Panthers' offense will likely diminish once Coker returns from injury.

Panthers' David Moore: Another impressive outing vs. Bucs
Rotowire
Moore caught five of his nine targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Buccaneers.
With rookie Jalen Coker (quadriceps) missing his second consecutive game in Week 13, Moore served as Carolina's No. 3 wide receiver, finishing with the second-most targets on the team. The veteran wideout has now recorded back-to-back games with nine or more targets, tallying 121 yards across 11 receptions during that span. Coker has yet to return to practice since sustaining this quadriceps injury, making it likely that Moore will continue to see increased opportunities in the Panthers' WR room during a Week 14 matchup against a red-hot Eagles team.

Panthers' David Moore: Surprise receiving leader in Week 12
Rotowire
Moore played 58 of Carolina's 62 offensive snaps and finished with six receptions for 81 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets in Sunday's 30-27 loss to Kansas City.
Though the Panthers returned Adam Thielen (hamstring) from injured reserve for the Week 12 contest, the absence of Jalen Coker (quadricep) opened up plenty of snaps for Moore. The 29-year-old journeyman wideout took advantage of the opportunity, pacing all Carolina pass catchers in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also hauling in Bryce Young's lone touchdown pass in the narrow loss. Coker was a non-participant in the Panthers' first Week 13 practice Wednesday and could be trending toward another absence this Sunday against the Buccaneers, putting Moore on track to play elevated snaps once again.

Panthers' David Moore: Quiet in Week 10
Rotowire
Moore caught two of his four targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Giants.
The veteran wideout's production hasn't increased despite more opportunities following Diontae Johnson's trade to the Ravens on Oct. 29. Moore has now caught just four of his eight targets for 28 yards across Carolina's last two games. With Adam Thielen (hamstring) expected to return from injured reserve in the near future, Moore will likely be demoted to the Panthers' No. 4 wide receiver spot.

Panthers' David Moore: Catches two passes vs. Saints
Rotowire
Moore caught two of his four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints.
The veteran served as Carolina's No. 3 wide receiver Sunday after Diontae Johnson was traded to the Ravens on Oct. 29, but the increase in playing time didn't translate to higher production. Moore has now accumulated 11 receptions for 93 yards through the Panthers' first nine games this season. His role on Carolina's offense could diminish once Adam Thielen (hamstring) returns from injured reserve in the coming weeks.

Panthers' David Moore: Steps up in Week 8
Rotowire
Moore caught four of his five targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos.
The veteran wideout capitalized on his increased opportunities with both Adam Thielen (hamstring) and Diontae Johnson (ribs) sidelined in Sunday's loss, as Moore finished second on the Panthers in receptions and yards. Moore appears to have surpassed Jonathan Mingo on the Panthers' wide-receiver depth chart and could see increased work again in Week 9 if Thielen and/or Johnson aren't ready to return.

Panthers' David Moore: Good to go
Rotowire
Moore (knee) is good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Commanders, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.
Moore was limited at practice throughout the week and was considered a true game-time decision. He has ultimately gotten the green light and figures to take on his usual role providing depth at receiver.

Panthers' David Moore: Questionable for Week 7
Rotowire
Moore (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Moore logged a trio of limited practices this week. The journeyman wideout is coming off back-to-back games with two catches, and notably, No. 1 receiver Diontae Johnson (ankle/ribs) is also listed as questionable for Sunday. If Moore misses any time, practice squad players Dan Chisena. Praise Olatoke and Deven Thompkins could be candidates to be elevated.

Panthers' David Moore: Dealing with knee injury
Rotowire
Moore (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Moore caught two passes for 17 yards on just six offensive snaps in the Panthers' Week 6 loss to the Falcons, but it appears he picked up a knee injury in the process. His participation Thursday and Friday will be the best indication of whether he can suit up for the Panthers' Week 7 matchup against the Commanders.

Panthers' David Moore: Tallies 17 yards in Week 6
Rotowire
Moore caught both of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 38-20 loss to the Falcons.
The veteran wideout out-preformed 2023 second-round pick Jonathan Mingo (one catch for one yard) in Sunday's loss, appearing to serve as the Panthers' No. 4 wide receiver. Mingo has disappointed to start his second season in Carolina, so Moore likely will see increased opportunities until Adam Thielen (hamstring) returns from injury.

Panthers' David Moore: One catch in loss
Rotowire
Moore caught one of his three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's 47-10 loss to the Saints.
Moore was on the field for just 19 offensive snaps during Sunday's loss, but he was targeted three times, catching one ball for 14 yards. The Panthers' air attack struggled as a whole in Week 1, as Bryce Young threw for just 161 yards and two picks on 30 passing attempts. Moore ranked fifth among Carolina's wide receivers in offensive snaps played in Week 1, so it appears he'll struggle to be fantasy-relevant in his first season with the Panthers unless injuries occur.

Panthers' David Moore: Gets chance in Carolina
Rotowire
Moore has signed a one-year contract with the Panthers, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Moore spent the 2021 offseason with Carolina but never played a game for the team, getting released at final roster cuts and landing on the Broncos' practice squad. Most recently, he played for the Buccaneers during the 2023 campaign and accumulated 94 yards and one touchdown while catching five of seven targets across seven games. The 29-year-old doesn't have any more job security than he did the last time he was with the Panthers, as the team has already added Diontae Johnson to a receiving corps that features Adam Thielen, Jonathan Mingo (foot) and Terrace Marshall.

Buccaneers' David Moore: Limited to one catch Sunday
Rotowire
Moore brought in his only target for 11 yards in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Moore couldn't quite replicate his showing from Tampa Bay's wild-card win over the Eagles, when he posted two receptions for 66 yards and a touchdown. The veteran was mostly an afterthought this season after spending a sizable chunk of the campaign on the practice squad, and the five receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown he produced across seven regular-season appearances were his first stats from scrimmage since the 2020 season. Moore is slated to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and could potentially return on a team-friendly deal if he finds a lack of interest in his services on the open market.

Buccaneers' David Moore: Shines in wild-card win Monday
Rotowire
Moore secured two of three targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday night.
The veteran was one of two Buccaneers to parlay some impressive run-after-catch prowess into a score, outrunning multiple defenders to the end zone on a 44-yard touchdown grab late in the first quarter. Moore had a nice chunk gain on his other reception as well, and the Lions may have to devote some attention to him in Sunday's divisional-round clash at Ford Field.

Buccaneers' David Moore: Quiet in season finale
Rotowire
Moore brought in his only target for eight yards in the Buccaneers' 9-0 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Moore played his usual deep reserve role, logging only one more snap from scrimmage (17) than he did for special teams (16). Moore flashed with a 2-68-1 line in Week 15, but he didn't appear in a regular-season contest until Week 12 and wrapped up the campaign with five receptions for 94 yards and a touchdown on seven targets over seven games. Moore does have postseason experience from his days with the Seahawks early in his career, but he'll likely remain slotted into the No. 4 receiver role during Tampa Bay's wild-card matchup against the Eagles on Monday night.

Buccaneers' David Moore: Disappointing after Week 15 surge
Rotowire
Moore secured his only target for seven yards in the Buccaneers' 30-12 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Moore encouragingly saw an uptick in snaps from scrimmage to a season-high 22, but he still was minimally involved from a target perspective. The 28-year-old does have the type of track record to suggest he could see his numbers improve on any given week, but he'll remain a complementary option for the Buccaneers if Mike Evans and Chris Godwin remain in good health for the final two games of the campaign.

David Moore: Headed back to practice squad
Rotowire
The Buccaneers reverted Moore to the practice squad Monday.
Moore was elevated for the third straight game and managed to haul in his lone target for 11 yards while playing a season-high 25 snaps (14 on offense, 11 on special teams). Because this was the third time the Bucs called Moore up from the Moore has now been elevated the maximum three times, the team will have to sign the 2017 seventh-round pick to the active roster if they wish to utilize him again during the 2023 campaign.

Buccaneers' David Moore: Called up for third time
Rotowire
The Buccaneers elevated Moore from the practice squad Saturday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
This is the third straight game Moore has been promoted from the practice squad, which means the Bucs would have to sign him to their active roster if they wanted to play him for the rest of the season. Moore hasn't registered a catch in his two appearances this season and his split has limited snaps between offense and special teams.
