D.J. Moore Downgraded to Doubtful After Re‑Aggravating Shoulder vs. Patriots

Buffalo must adjust its passing game after losing its primary receiver.

Overview

  • Sunday, Moore dove for a Josh Allen pass near the sideline, walked to the blue medical tent and was evaluated for a shoulder issue before leaving the game.
  • The Bills first listed Moore as questionable to return and then officially downgraded him to doubtful at halftime for the remainder of the Week 4 game.
  • Multiple outlets report the injury is a re‑aggravation of the left AC‑joint sprain he suffered in Week 2, and Buffalo medical staff are continuing assessments.
  • Moore’s exit removed Buffalo’s top target in the game and led the offense to shift looks to Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel and tight end Dalton Kincaid.
  • If the shoulder keeps Moore out beyond this game, Buffalo faces short‑term roster and game‑plan decisions including possible rest, further treatment, or seeking outside help to protect Josh Allen’s passing attack.
