DJ Moore Injury Update
No major injury here just a nagging illness that put DJ Moore on the questionable list earlier this week, but latest reports confirm he's good to go for this prime-time clash at Levi's Stadium.FantasyHolics (@FantasyHolics1) posted on X that Bears WR DJ Moore is questionable with an illness for Sunday Night Football, per Sleeper updates.
Think back to that scary hospital trip after the Commanders game in October midsection hit, stretcher vibes, total panic mode but he bounced back quick. No long-term worries this time; Bears medical staff cleared him, and with Rome Odunze and others dinged up, Chicago needs his hands bad.
Is DJ Moore Playing Tonight?
Straight up, yes DJ Moore suits up for the Bears' Week 17 showdown versus the 49ers on December 29, 2025, starting around 1:20 AM IST on NBC/Peacock. Game's already tipping off with Chicago at 11-4, chasing that NFC top seed even after clinching the North.
Early box shows Bears moving the ball, 154 yards to SF's 330, no turnovers yet. Moore's been targeted once so far, no grab, but give it time he heats up fast. Remember Week 13 against Philly? Slow start, then boom. Fans buzzing online, half-relieved he's in, half-joking about his "gamey illness" like he's a zombie back from the dead. If Caleb Williams connects deep, expect Moore to feast on that 49ers secondary.
What Happened to DJ Moore?
DJ Moore got listed questionable due to illness ahead of this 49ers tilt, nothing gruesome like those past scares a hard sideline hit in October landing him in the hospital for checks, or that Week 1 tweak against Minnesota where he stayed down forever before popping back up. This one's milder, just under-the-weather stuff that practice reports flagged Tuesday through Friday. Adam Ronis (@AdamRonis) posted on X that Bears WR DJ Moore has been added to the injury report with an illness.
No practice details on him specifically, but Bears injury lists spotlight other guys like T.J. Edwards (lower body) and Nahshon Wright (hamstring). Kinda funny how football's grind turns a sniffle into headline news teams rest stars like Thuney for "NIR-rest," but Moore? He's warrior mode. That October D.C. ambulance ride felt like déjà vu from his Carolina days, yet here he is, five TDs in five games lately.

Guy's a target magnet 47 receptions league-wide for Bears WRs, but Moore owns the chunk plays. Slow burner sometimes, like tonight's quiet start, but Week 10 exit vs. Giants? Bounced back strong. Bears offense leans on him heavy, especially with Odunze out (foot). Stats don't lie: when Moore's right, Chicago's dangerous imagine if he pops a 40-yarder tonight. Playoff implications huge, top seed on line.
Bears-49ers feels like a playoff preview, both 11-4, NFC powers colliding. Moore's availability tips scales illness or not, his speed stretches fields, opens lanes for Swift and Kmet. Past bumps like that hip/groin scare post-Washington? Handled like a pro. Keep eyes peeled; if he heats up second half, Chicago rolls into postseason hot. Game's live check scores as they drop.
