DJ Moore listed as day-to-day with knee injury

DJ Moore is the Carolina Panther’s main weapon out wide. He is by far the team’s most targeted receiver but, after this weekend, the team could potentially be without him heading into this next week.

After injuring his knee against the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday, ESPN’s Adam Schefter says Moore is ‘considered day-to-day’ with a knee sprain. The source who spoke with Schefter, though, did say it was ‘nothing significant’.

Moore has caught 46 passes this season for 605 yards and four touchdowns on 91 targets. That’s 13 more catches, 259 more yards, two more touchdowns, and 48 more targets than the next closest receiver on the Panthers over the course of this season. Regardless of who plays quarterback for Carolina, Moore has by far been their go-to WR1.

The MRI results suggest things may not be as dire for the Panthers when it comes to Moore’s knee. Still, they’ll be monitoring him throughout this week as they prepare for their next matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend.

Dallas Cowboys sign free agent wide receiver TY Hilton

The Dallas Cowboys announced the signing of free agent wide receiver T.Y. Hilton on Monday following their close-shave win over the Houston Texans on Sunday.

Although the 33-year-old veteran is not the free agent that dominated the headlines in recent weeks, he is an experienced contributor who allows the team some flexibility moving forward.

Hilton signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys after waiting around on the free-agent market this season. He played 10 productive seasons for the Colts, but capped things off in Indianapolis with his worst performance of 23 catches for 331 yards and three scores last season.

In 10 seasons with Indianapolis, Hilton had 9,691 receiving yards, 53 touchdowns and 631 receptions. The Miami native was a third-round draft pick in the 2012 NFL Draft out of FIU.

The Cowboys had been very publicly courting free agent wideout Odell Beckham Jr. for the last month, in hopes that he had recovered enough from his ACL tear to contribute this season.

Reports leaked from the team that OBJ wasn’t, in fact, healthy enough to significantly impact the team, although team owner Jerry Jones said on Sunday that they were still looking at the former Giant as an option.

Hilton visited the Cowboys at the Star facility on Monday, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.
