D.J. Moore Clarifies Field Exit Amid Criticism

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore walked off the field during a play in a game against the Arizona Cardinals, raising speculation about his motives. Moore clarified that he left due to an ankle injury he sustained while quarterback Caleb Williams was scrambling, which caused his momentum to carry him out of bounds. Despite criticism from fans and media for seemingly abandoning the play, Moore insisted he was not frustrated and continued participating in the game after addressing his injury. Bears head coach Matt Eberflus confirmed the injury explanation and expressed no concerns about Moore's actions, highlighting the need to execute better scramble drills. The incident fueled discussions about team morale amid the Bears' recent struggles, though Moore downplayed the controversy, focusing on moving forward and improving performance.
