Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (2) escapes the tackle of Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Reaves (39) during the first quarter at Northwest Stadium.

On one of the Chicago Bears' final plays in their Week 6 win over the Washington Commanders, wide receiver D.J. Moore was a crucial part of his team's downfield blocking on a 15-yard run by D'Andre Swift.

After the game, Moore was still on the field, celebrating the win with his teammates.

So when the Bears announced after the game that Moore was staying behind in a Washington, D.C.-area hospital, it was a big surprise.

Moore initially appeared to get banged up in the first quarter of Monday night's game. After making a 17-yard reception, the wideout took a hit from Commanders cornerback Trey Amos and landed hard on his side.

Moore made a short trip to the Bears' sideline medical tent but returned to the game on the same drive. Given his impact on one of the final plays of the game, it's also clear that he finished out the Week 6 clash.

Here's what we know so far about the Bears' No. 2 receiver:
