DJ Moore’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He was inactive for Buffalo’s Week 6 game at the Raiders on Oct. 18 with the left shoulder he first injured in Week 2 and re-aggravated in Week 4, per BuffaloBills.com.
Moore first hurt the shoulder in Week 2 against Detroit (Sept. 17), played through it in Week 3, then re-aggravated it in the Week 4 loss to New England (Oct. 4), when Buffalo listed him doubtful to return after time in the medical tent.
As of Wednesday, Oct. 28, our tracked feed moved Moore back to Questionable ahead of Buffalo’s Week 8 home game against Baltimore. He played through that tag in Buffalo’s 36-10 win. The same shoulder flared up again this week: Moore was limited at Friday’s practice with a recurrence of the issue and carried a Questionable tag, then came off Buffalo’s injury report Saturday with no designation for the Bills’ Week 9 Monday night road game at Minnesota.
Fantasy Action: Moore has no injury designation for Monday night’s game at Minnesota, so start him as usual; Khalil Shakir is the safer Bills receiver if anything changes before kickoff.
