WATCH: DJ Moore looks lifeless after scary injury as Bills rule WR out against Lions
DJ Moore was ruled out of the Buffalo Bills’ clash with the Detroit Lions after suffering a scary shoulder injury while attempting to make a diving catch in the end zone. The wide receiver went down with just over three minutes remaining in the second quarter and remained on the field as Bills trainers attended to him.
In a dramatic turn of events during the Buffalo Bills' game against the Detroit Lions, wide receiver DJ Moore was ruled out of the match after suffering a frightening shoulder injury. The incident occurred while Moore attempted to make a diving catch in the end zone, just over three minutes into the second quarter. He went down immediately, remaining on the field while medical staff attended to him.
Eventually, Moore managed to get to his feet and walked to the locker room on his own, although the Bills initially listed him as questionable to return and later downgraded him to out shortly after halftime.
X-rays revealed that Moore had suffered a shoulder injury and a stinger, leading the team to express concern over his condition. The play itself was ruled out due to an offensive holding penalty against Dawson Knox, meaning Moore did not record a target before leaving the game. He finished the match with one rush for minus-one yard.
Moore, who joined the Buffalo Bills during the offseason following a trade from the Chicago Bears, had already made a significant impact in Week 1 against the Houston Texans, recording five catches for 100 yards and a touchdown.
The Bills, who had another scare earlier in the game when Keon Coleman suffered a leg injury but managed to return, will now await further updates regarding Moore's condition as they prepare for their next matchup.
