DJ Moore

Bears WR DJ Moore said head coach Ben Johnson has talked to him about his on-field body language.

‘‘Just don’t do it,’’ Moore said Johnson told him. ‘‘Just keep it inside. Talk about it later. Just don’t put it on film. Don’t put it on TV.’’ Moore was spotted a handful of times in 2024 showing frustration and disappointment on the field as Caleb Williams struggled through his difficult rookie campaign. The body language issues came to a head in a Week 9 loss to the Cardinals, when Moore walked off the field and sat on the Chicago bench in the middle of a Williams scramble drill. Moore later said he had tweaked his ankle during the play. Moore said Bears coaches had reprimanded him about his body language during offseason practices, adding that he was determined to avoid further body language issues. Coming off a 2024 season that marked career lows in yards per reception and receiving success rate, Moore will look to bounce back in 2025 as the nominal WR1 in Johnson’s offense.
