NFL player Rondale Moore has died aged 25.

A report on the NFL's website said the wide receiver was found dead in his home in Indiana on Saturday night and an autopsy would be conducted on Sunday.

An NFL statement said: "The NFL is deeply saddened by the tragic passing of Rondale Moore. Our thoughts are with Rondale’s family, friends and teammates during this difficult time."

Moore was drafted in the second round by the Arizona Cardinals in 2021 and also played for the Atlanta Falcons and the Minnesota Vikings, where he suffered a season-ending knee injury in their pre-season opener back in August.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell said he was "devastated" by the news and added: "While Rondale had been a member of the Vikings for a short time, he was someone we came to know well and care about deeply. We are all heartbroken by the fact he won’t continue to live out his NFL dream and we won’t all have a chance to watch him flourish."
