D.J. Moore injury: Bills wideout ruled out vs. Lions after injuring shoulder
Moore was taken to the locker room for X-rays after a diving end-zone attempt and could miss next week, sources said.
- Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore suffered a shoulder injury Thursday during the second quarter against the Detroit Lions at Highmark Stadium, exiting the game and being ruled out for the remainder of Buffalo's 41-31 victory.
- Moore's injury came after an impressive start to his Bills tenure, having caught 5 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown against Houston in Week 1, leading analysts to view the trade as shrewd.
- Moore landed hard on his left shoulder after attempting a catch from quarterback Josh Allen in the end zone, striking the turf awkwardly and remaining down before medical staff attended to him.
- Friday morning brought encouraging news when NFL Networks Ian Rapoport reported Moore has an AC joint sprain that doctors do not consider serious, with ESPN's Adam Schefter calling him day-to-day with a possible return against the Chargers.
- Type II AC sprains typically sideline players for 2-3 weeks, though Moore benefits from a 10-day break before the Chargers game on September 27; receivers Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer and Greg Dortch will absorb snaps if he cannot play.
