How was DJ Moore hurt during the Bears vs Commanders Week 6 matchup?

DJ Moore was carrying the ball in the first half of the Week 6 game when Washington Commanders cornerback Trey Amos undercut him. At the same time, safety Darnell Savage Jr. pushed him forward from behind—the combination of the undercut and the push caused Moore to be launched into the air before landing hard on his left hip.

The incident, which appeared to result in his injury, was captured by SM Highlights and shared on X.
