Buffalo Bills wide receiver D. J. Moore was initially listed as day-to-day following an AC joint sprain sustained during a game against the Detroit Lions. His availability for the upcoming Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers was considered uncertain, with potential tactical shifts toward tight ends like Dalton Kincaid.

By later in the week, the team's injury concerns expanded beyond Moore. While Moore participated in Wednesday's practice in a non-contact jersey, his absence from media-open drills on Thursday raised further questions. The Bills also reported injuries to wide receiver Keon Coleman, defensive lineman Ed Oliver, and defensive tackle TJ Sanders, who is recovering from an appendectomy.

Heading into the Week 3 matchup, both Moore and Coleman were listed as questionable, described as “50/50” decisions for Sunday. Moore was managing his shoulder injury with the possibility of requiring a pregame injection to play, while Coleman returned to participate on a limited basis on Friday following an ankle injury.

During the Week 4 game against the New England Patriots, Moore suffered a shoulder injury in the first half. After being evaluated in a medical tent, he was downgraded to doubtful to return and subsequently headed to the locker room. The incident may be a re-aggravation of his recent AC joint sprain.
