D.J. Moore Misses Practice, Bills Say Availability for Rams Game Is Unclear

The practice absence raises a day‑to‑day injury question that could force Buffalo to alter target balance and play calls for its high‑scoring offense.

Overview

  • Moore did not take part in the Bills’ Thursday practice because of a recurring left shoulder problem and his status for the upcoming game against the Rams is uncertain.
  • He originally injured the left AC joint earlier in the season, returned after limited work and then re‑aggravated the shoulder in Week 4, leaving that game in the first half.
  • Moore opened the season with a 100‑yard, one‑touchdown game but has had uneven production across Weeks 2–4 as the shoulder issue interrupted his snaps and targets.
  • Buffalo’s offense remains productive, and coaches have planned to shift looks to Dalton Kincaid, Keon Coleman, Curtis Samuel and other receivers if Moore is sidelined.
  • The team acquired Moore in the offseason for a 2026 second‑round pick, so his health will factor into how Buffalo manages short‑term pain control and long‑term availability this season.
