Moore, 24, received a cast on his right leg after collapsing in the left corner of the end zone during 11-on-11 practice.
Players from both teams knelt as medical staff worked on the former Purdue receiver.
Moore was taken off the field and immediately transferred to the Baptist Health medical center near Miami Gardens, Florida, for ESPN.
Joint training was halted after the incident.
“Thoughts and prayers are with Rondale,” shaken Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins told reporters.
“I’m not sure what’s going on, but I hope it’s not serious.”
Now he has been placed on the season-ending reserve list.
“It’s heartbreaking,” added Falcons defensive lineman Grady Jarrett.

Moore joined the Falcons this offseason in a trade with the Arizona Cardinals.
He looked impressive in camp and is competing for third place alongside Drake London and Darnell Mooney.

“Oh no! Hoping for a speedy recovery,” wrote another.
“I wish we could turn off the injuries,” sighed a third.
“It’s heartwarming to see… the glimpse we got of his pure talent as Frosh at Purdue was incredible. I hope he makes a full and quick recovery,” commented a fourth.

Moore was selected with the 49th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
He spent three seasons in Arizona, catching 135 receptions for 1,201 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Moore came to the Falcons in March in a trade that sent quarterback Desmond Ridder to the Cardinals.
He was listed as a backup option on the Falcons’ latest depth chart at both wide receiver and kickoff returner.
In a separate move, Atlanta re-signed punter Ryan Sanborn.
