Overview
- Trey Moore left the preseason game in the first quarter after landing awkwardly, showing no pressure on his left leg and being helped off the field before he was carted to the locker room.
- The Dolphins had listed Moore as a starter on their official depth chart, signaling he was expected to provide front-seven flexibility between edge and off-ball linebacker roles.
- Coaches removed other high-profile rookies for the remainder of the game, a conservative move that reporters and commentators linked to concern over Moore’s injury.
- Miami selected Moore in the fourth round of the 2026 draft and had used the preseason to give rookies meaningful reps while resting most veteran starters.
- Team medical tests and an official injury designation are pending, and the outcome will determine whether the Dolphins must adjust depth, snaps, or personnel plans for the regular season.
