Moore caught a pass from quarterback Joe Flacco in the second quarter of Thursday's game before being tackled by Jets linebacker C.J. Mosley. During the play, Moore's head hit the turf and remained on the ground, suffering what appeared to be involuntary movements by his head and arms.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, Moore was later able to leave the field on his own power, and he went toward the medical tent and later the locker room.

He did not return to play in the Browns' 37-20 win, and he finished the game with five catches for 61 yards and a score.
