Moore (shoulder) didn't practice Thursday.
Moore made an early departure this past Sunday against the Patriots in the second quarter with a shoulder injury and wasn't able to return. While the issue isn't considered to be long term and head coach Joe Brady didn't rule Moore out for Monday's game at the Rams as of Thursday, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, the wide receiver kicked off the week with no on-field work. Moore will have two more chances to prove his health before the Bills potentially make a ruling on his status once they post Saturday's injury report.

Bills' DJ Moore: Practice status in question Thursday
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) was not participating during the media viewing period of Thursday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Moore has not been ruled out for the Week 5 matchup against the Rams, but it seems he's got an uphill battle ahead of him. He aggravated his shoulder injury in the Week 4 loss to the Patriots and did not return to action. He may get some work in later in Thursday's practice, but the official injury report will tell the tale.

Bills' DJ Moore: Not ruled out for Week 5
Rotowire
Head coach Joe Brady said Thursday that Moore (shoulder) is "going to be able to do everything he can to be able to rock this week," Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Moore aggravated a shoulder injury during Buffalo's Week 4 loss to the Patriots. Brady didn't have a specific update on Moore's status Thursday, but it sounds like the veteran wide receiver at least has a chance to avoid missing Monday's game against the Rams. Moore has a 92-game regular-season ironman streak on the line.

Bills' DJ Moore: Injury not considered long-term

Moore (shoulder) is dealing with an injury that isn't considered long-term, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Moore exited Sunday's loss to the Patriots after aggravating a previous shoulder injury. He isn't expected to miss significant time, though it remains to be seen if Moore will play against the Rams in Week 5. The 29-year-old wide receiver has suited up for 92 consecutive regular-season games dating back to the 2020 season.

Bills' DJ Moore: Return in doubt in Week 4
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) is considered doubtful to return to Sunday's contest versus the Patriots.
Moore went to the sideline in the second quarter and was diagnosed with a shoulder injury, which may be an aggravation of the issue he's tended to since Week 2. If Moore is unable to reenter Sunday's game, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Joshua Palmer and even Greg Dortch will be on hand for WR reps in the Bills offense.

Bills' DJ Moore: Dealing with shoulder injury Sunday
Rotowire
Moore departed Sunday's contest against the Patriots due to a shoulder injury.
Moore was shaken up on a play in the second quarter and immediately went to the sideline tent. This may stem from the shoulder issue he sustained in Week 2, but he nonetheless is considered questionable to return for the time being.

Bills' DJ Moore: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Moore has done well so far as the No. 1 receiver for Josh Allen. In two healthy games (he left Week 2 against Detroit with a shoulder injury), Moore has at least eight targets, and he scored at least 12.7 PPR points. I don't expect him to be awful in Week 4 against New England, but he could struggle if matched up with cornerback Christian Gonzalez. Moore faced Gonzalez as a member of the Bears in 2024, and he finished with three catches for 24 yards on six targets. I would prefer to only start Moore in three-receiver leagues in Week 4.

Bills' DJ Moore: Remains limited by shoulder injury
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Moore was limited last week in practice after he was injured in Buffalo's Week 2 game against the Lions. The veteran wideout still played through it last Sunday against the Chargers and played 42 of 66 offensive snaps while running a team-high 23 routes on Josh Allen's 31 dropbacks. Moore turned 10 targets into six catches for 67 yards. He should be fine for Week 4 against New England.

Bills' DJ Moore: Active for Week 3
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
It was reported shortly before kickoff that Moore was expected to suit up Sunday, and he will indeed do so. It's unclear how close Moore is to 100 percent after sandwiching a couple limited practices around a Thursday 'DNP' on the injury report, so it remains to be seen if he will fill his usual role in Week 3.

Bills' DJ Moore: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) is in line to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
When Moore was listed as questionable for Week 3 action Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wide receiver would be a game-time decision. Moore had sandwiched limited sessions around an absence Thursday prior to those comments due to an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 2 against the Lions, but Schefter's report Sunday morning indicates that he'll avoid the Bills' inactive list about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bills' DJ Moore: Will be game-time decision
Rotowire
Head coach Joe Brady said Friday that Moore (shoulder) will be listed as questionable and a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Moore made an early exit from the Bills' Week 2 win against the Lions due to an AC joint sprain, and while he was able to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, he sat out Thursday's session before returning to drills Friday in a red non-contact jersey. Both Moore and fellow WR Keon Coleman (ankle) are considered game-time calls for Week 3 action, but both players' statuses will be confirmed by about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bills' DJ Moore: Absent at start of practice
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) was not spotted on the practice field at the beginning of Thursday's session, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
There's still a chance Moore joins his teammates for practice Thursday but it's noteworthy nonetheless that he's not there as things get underway. Moore, who suffered an AC joint sprain in the Week 2 win over the Lions, reportedly "felt great" after Wednesday's practice, though he was in a non-contact jersey. The rest of the week will give more clarity on Moore's status as Sunday approaches. Buscaglia added that Keon Coleman (ankle) was also absent for the start of Thursday's session.

Bills' DJ Moore: Feeling great following practice

Moore (shoulder) "felt great" after getting in a limited practice Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Moore did not take contact Wednesday and officially did not get in a full session, but he was optimistic about his status when asked about it afterward. While Moore is taking the positive path and there is reason to believe he will suit up Sunday against the Chargers, it remains to be seen if he will do so.

Bills' DJ Moore: Practicing, but not taking contact
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice while wearing a red non-contact jersey, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Moore made an early exit from the Bills' Week 2 win over the Lions due to an AC joint sprain, logging just 23 snaps while finishing with no targets and one carry for minus-1 yard during his limited time on the field. Though he appears set to go down as a limited practice participant on the Bills' first Week 3 injury report, Moore's presence on the field is generally a positive sign for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Chargers.

Bills' DJ Moore: Viewed as day-to-day
Rotowire
The Bills are treating Moore as day-to-day after he was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder after exiting Thursday's 41-31 win over the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Moore carried once for minus-1 yard and didn't draw a target on his 23 snaps before exiting Thursday's contest late in the second quarter. Keon Coleman (55 snaps, 6-63-0 line on six targets) saw a boosted profile on offense in Moore's absence, but Coleman could fade into more of a tertiary role in the passing game if Moore is able to play through the shoulder injury during the Bills' Week 3 matchup with the Chargers. Rapoport relays that Moore is expected to practice next week, and the Bills will see how his shoulder responds before his status for next Sunday's contest is clarified.

Bills' DJ Moore: Posts 100 yards, TD in Bills debut
Rotowire
Moore caught five of eight targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.
Moore made a strong first impression with the Bills, highlighted by a 43-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. The 29-year-old wide receiver had a career-low 682 receiving yards in 17 regular-season games with the Bears last year, but he has exceeded 1,000 yards in four of eight regular seasons split between the Panthers and Bears. Josh Allen spread the ball around as usual against Houston, but Moore paced the team with eight targets. Moore will look to build on this productive debut in Thursday's home opener against the Lions.

Bills' DJ Moore: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
I love Moore this season, and I expect him to perform well with the Bills. But he might not have a great debut at Houston. The Texans have a standout secondary with Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter and Jalen Pitre, and Moore will have a tough matchup almost anywhere he lines up. Moore played at Houston in 2024 with the Bears and finished with six catches for 53 yards on 10 targets, and I could see a similar stat line this week. I would still start Moore in three-receiver leagues in Week 1, but I'm not expecting a big stat line in this matchup.

Bills' DJ Moore: Rests during preseason finale
Rotowire
Moore didn't play against the Steelers in Thursday's exhibition victory.
Buffalo elected to rest the bulk of its projected regular-season starters, including Moore, for the team's final preseason game. The veteran wideout saw action in one exhibition contest, catching three of four targets for 61 yards. Moore left that game early due to an ankle injury but has since returned to practice, so he should be good to go as the Bills' top wideout Week 1 of the regular season versus a tough Texans defense.

Moore was limited in practice Tuesday after getting banged up in preseason action Saturday against the Panthers. He has progressed back to full participation Thursday, indicating that the injury is no longer hampering him. Buffalo is battling injuries to its wide receiver room behind Moore, as Khalil Shakir (undisclosed), Keon Coleman (foot) and Skyler Bell (lower body) are all hurt.

Bills' DJ Moore: Limited in return to practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Moore (lower body) was a limited participant in his return to practice Tuesday, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports.
After sustaining an apparent lower-body injury during Saturday's preseason win over the Panthers, Moore was back on the field three days later in full pads, albeit with some restrictions in place. According to Brasky, Moore was mostly limited to individual work and didn't take part in team drills. While the Bills could monitor his workload carefully over the next few days and potentially hold him out of Saturday's exhibition versus the Browns, Moore's availability for the start of the regular season doesn't appear to be in any peril.
