Bills Get Good News After Injury Scare to Star WR DJ Moore
Top receiver DJ Moore left Sunday's game in the first half with a shoulder injury.
The Buffalo Bills experienced a brief injury scare for their star wide receiver DJ Moore following their tough 29-26 loss to the New England Patriots. Moore left the game early in the second quarter after suffering a shoulder injury during a play thrown by quarterback Josh Allen. This wasn't the first time Moore had faced a shoulder issue, as he had originally injured his shoulder in Week 2 and has since been limited in practices.
There was concern that the injury might sideline Moore for future games, but ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the injury is not expected to be a long-term issue.
This is excellent news for both Moore and the Bills, as he could potentially return for their upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Bills had a day of rest this week, giving them an advantage heading into the game. With Moore out of the starting lineup, Keon Coleman moved up to become the Bills' top receiver, having caught 217 yards on the season.
Coleman's opportunity to make an impact could be significant, especially with Buffalo needing to address a strong Rams team next week. Despite initial concerns about Coleman's performance, the trade for Moore from the Chicago Bears seemed to validate the team's decision, as he is now expected to be Allen's primary target.
