Keon Coleman injury update: Latest news on Bills WR's status in Week 2 game
On Thursday, Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore suffered a shoulder injury during the team's matchup against the Detroit Lions and was officially ruled out for the remainder of the game.
Moore sustained the injury late in the second quarter while attempting a diving catch in the end zone, landing awkwardly on his left shoulder after Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin fell on him.
Medical staff took Moore to the locker room for X-rays to evaluate a potential shoulder injury and a stinger, which the Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago defines as a nerve stretch causing temporary numbness.
With Moore ruled out, starters Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir will likely absorb increased usage, while backups Joshua Palmer and Greg Dortch may split time to fill the void in the receiving corps.
Former NFL cornerback Darius Butler suggested the Bills sign free agent Brandin Cooks to address depth concerns, noting Cooks has played for multiple teams during his 12-year NFL career.
