Quick Summary

DJ Moore left the Buffalo Bills' Week 2 game against the Detroit Lions early after diving for a pass and landing hard on his shoulder. Initially listed as questionable but ruled out by halftime due to a shoulder injury and stinger, there was no immediate update from head coach Joe Brady on the severity of the injury. With an upcoming Week 3 home game against the Chargers, Moore could benefit from extra recovery time before that contest.

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.
