D.J. Moore Leaves Vs. Patriots After Re‑Aggravating Left Shoulder

Team sources say the injury is not expected to be long term, but his availability for next week’s trip to the Rams is unclear.

Overview

  • Moore dove for a Josh Allen pass and walked to the sideline medical tent before being ruled out for the remainder of Sunday’s game against New England.
  • ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the left shoulder was aggravated but is not believed to be a long‑term issue as of now.
  • The setback appears to be a flare of the Week 2 left AC‑joint sprain he suffered versus Detroit, which required earlier in‑game evaluation and limited practice time.
  • Buffalo adjusted on the fly, shifting targets to Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel and Dalton Kincaid and changing personnel groupings during the game.
  • Analysts are urging a short, cautious shutdown to protect playoff availability and some outlets have floated speculative trade or depth moves if Moore misses extended time, a discussion that could alter Buffalo’s short‑term roster planning.
