DJ Moore hospitalized with groin injury after Bears last-minute win in Washington

LANDOVER, Md. (WGN) — A thrilling victory for the Chicago Bears over the Washington Commanders on Monday night was overshadowed by news that star wide receiver DJ Moore was hospitalized after the game.

According to the Bears, Moore did not fly back to Chicago with his team and was taken by ambulance to a local area hospital after the game for “precautionary medical attention.” The team confirmed he stayed overnight in Washington, D.C.

On Tuesday, Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson said Moore was sent to the hospital because of a groin injury. Johnson added Moore is now back in Chicago and the team will assess him “day by day.”

Moore was never officially announced as an injured player who left Monday night’s game, though he did come up slow and appeared in pain from a hit that happened during the first half.

During the game against the Commanders, Moore hauled in three catches for 42 yards and ran the ball twice for another 10 yards.

His efforts contributed toward a come-from-behind victory for the Bears, who won on a game-winning 38-yard field goal as time expired against Washington, 25-24, thanks to recently-signed kicker Jake Moody, who stepped in for the injured Cairo Santos before the game.
