Vikings WR/PR Rondale Moore Carted Off Field with Lower Body Injury

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, AUG 9 – Rondale Moore was carted off after a lower-body injury during the Vikings' preseason opener, with evaluation ongoing and potential impact on team depth.

  • Rondale Moore, a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, sustained a serious injury to his left knee during the team's preseason opener against the Houston Texans on August 9, 2025, in Minneapolis.
  • Moore was injured on a punt return when tackled awkwardly by Texans linebacker Jamal Hill, nearly a year after tearing his right ACL with the Atlanta Falcons.
  • He was taken off the field clearly upset, striking the back of the cart with force as teammates knelt nearby in silent support, with an MRI set for August 10 to evaluate the extent of his injury.
  • Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell called the injury "pretty significant" and "heartbreaking," saying he must review the play to determine if Hill’s tackle was illegal.
  • Moore’s injury compounds the Vikings' wide receiver depth issues, especially with Jordan Addison suspended for three games, possibly prompting the team to seek additional receivers.
