D.J. Moore’s Availability Clouded After Missing Practice With Left Shoulder Issue

Medical clearance will decide whether Moore plays, possibly changing Buffalo’s game plan.

Overview

  • The Bills acquired D.J. Moore in an offseason trade that cost a 2026 second-round pick, making him a primary target in Buffalo’s offense.
  • Moore opened the season with a 100-yard, one-touchdown game but has had uneven production in the weeks since.
  • He re-aggravated a left-shoulder problem in Week 4 and left that game in the first half after recording one catch for 11 yards.
  • Moore did not practice on Thursday with the shoulder issue and his status for the upcoming Bills–Rams game remains unclear pending further practice reports and medical checks.
  • If Moore is unavailable, the Bills are likely to shift targets and route concepts to other receivers and adjust play calls, which could change how quarterback Josh Allen distributes the ball on game day.
