The team initially listed him as questionable but later ruled him out after X-rays.

Story summary

D.J. Moore, a key wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, was forced to leave Thursday night's game against the Detroit Lions due to a shoulder injury early in the second quarter. After an awkward fall while diving for a pass, Moore was initially listed as questionable to return but was later ruled out by halftime with a shoulder injury and stinger. The exact severity of the injury is still unclear, though initial concerns raised on social media have been somewhat alleviated given that Moore has until Week 3 (September 27) to recover before facing the Los Angeles Chargers. In his debut game for Buffalo against the Lions, Moore had five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown in an otherwise strong performance despite not playing past halftime due to injury.
