Rotowire
The Panthers signed Moore to their practice squad Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

Panthers' David Moore: Logs one catch in HOF Game
Rotowire
Moore caught one pass on two targets for five yards during Carolina's 33-30 win over Arizona in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.
Moore's lone catch came early in the second quarter, and he finished Thursday's game having played 18 total snaps (17 on offense, one on special teams). The 2017 seven-rounder spent most of last year on injured reserve due to a dislocated elbow and appeared in only four regular-season games before being a healthy scratch during the Panthers' NFC wild-card loss against the Rams. Moore is competing against Brycen Tremayne, Casey Washington, Ja'Seem Reed and John Metchie for a depth spot on the Panthers' 53-man roster.

Panthers' David Moore: Not playing vs. Rams
Rotowire
Moore (coach's decision) is inactive for Carolina's wild-card matchup versus the Rams on Saturday.
Moore was just activated off injured reserve earlier in the week after missing time with an elbow injury but will nonetheless be held out of Saturday's game. Tetairoa McMillan, Jalen Coker and Xavier Legette should continue to serve as the team's top receivers against Los Angeles, while Moore will look to suit up next week should the Panthers advance to the divisional round.

Rotowire
The Panthers reinstated Moore (elbow) from injured reserve Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
The Panthers waited until his 21-day evaluation window came to a close Tuesday before bringing him back from IR. Carolina waived receiver Hunter Renfrow to clear a spot on the 53-man roster for Moore, who had recorded one reception for five yards on one target while adding 12 yards on his lone carry in four appearances before he landed on IR on Oct. 1 due to a dislocated elbow. Despite making a full recovery from the injury, Moore isn't guaranteed to be active for the Panthers' postseason opener Saturday versus the Rams.

Panthers' David Moore: Out for Week 18
Rotowire
Moore (elbow) has been downgraded and ruled out ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
The 30-year-old wideout has practiced in full for three consecutive weeks, but it appears he's still not ready for in-game action just yet. Moore will remain on the Panthers' injured reserve list but could return for their wild-card matchup, should they secure the NFC South title in Week 18. While the veteran wideout is sidelined Saturday, expect Brycen Tremayne to operate as one of Carolina's top reserve pass catchers.

Rotowire
Moore (elbow) is listed as questionable ahead of Saturday's matchup against the Buccaneers.
Moore practiced in full for the third consecutive week and could appear in his first game since the Week 4 loss to the Patriots during Saturday's divisional matchup. However, he must still be added to Carolina's active roster in order to play in the Week 18 contest. If the veteran wideout is active Saturday, he'll likely play a depth role in the team's receiving corps.

Panthers' David Moore: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Moore (elbow) won't return to Sunday's game against the Patriots, David Newton of ESPN.com and Joe Person of The Athletic report.
Prior to his exit from the game, Moore carried once for 12 yards and did not record a target. In his absence, the Panthers' Week 4 depth at wideout is further taxed, with Xavier Legette (hamstring) having previously been made inactive Sunday.

Panthers' David Moore: Filling in for Legette
Rotowire
Moore is expected to serve as a starting receiver for Carolina in Sunday's game against New England, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.
For the second game in a row, Moore is expected to have a regular spot in three-receiver sets for Carolina while Xavier Legette (hamstring) is sidelined. Despite handling a 97 percent snap share in the Panthers' Week 3 win over the Falcons, Moore was limited to just one reception for five yards on one target.

Panthers' David Moore: Minimal output in win
Rotowire
Moore caught his only target for five yards in Sunday's 30-0 win over the Falcons.
The veteran wideout went without a target and played just 23 offensive snaps through Carolina's first two games this season. However, with Xavier Legette (hamstring) inactive in Week 3, Moore saw a significant uptick in usage and logged a team-high 53 snaps among Panthers wide receivers. This large snap share didn't translate to production, as Carolina leaned heavily on the run while protecting a big lead. Moore could see increased opportunities again if Legette is sidelined in Week 4, when the Panthers travel to New England.
