Reports: Bills WR DJ Moore suffers AC joint sprain in Buffalo's win over Lions; status up in the air for Week 3 vs. Chargers

 


DJ Moore’s second game with the Buffalo Bills ended before halftime.

Moore came down hard in the end zone trying to catch a Josh Allen pass during Buffalo's 41-31 win over the Detroit Lions on Thursday night and was ruled out with a shoulder injury. 

Head coach Joe Brady had no update on Moore's injury following the game. 

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported Friday morning that Moore is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain, per sources familiar with the situation. ESPN's Adam Schefter added that while doctors don't consider the injury serious, his status is up in the air for Week 3 versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

With Buffalo rolling and leading, 21-7, Allen threw into the end zone for Moore on second-and-3 from the 6-yard line. Moore attempted to haul in a low pass, smashed his shoulder onto the grass, rolled to his back, and grabbed around the left side of his collarbone.

Moore walked off under his own power to the locker room for X-rays.

It was Moore’s first target of the game, though it wasn’t recorded as one, as the Bills were flagged for offensive holding on the play. He did have a carry for a loss of a yard earlier in the game.

Moore, acquired in an offseason trade from the Chicago Bears, had five receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against the Houston Texans.

The long-sought No. 1 WR for the Bills, Moore’s health will now be a prevailing concern for the squad heading into a Week 3 matchup with the Chargers.

  Roob's Observations: Eagles embarrass themselves in Tampa vs. Bucs By  Reuben Frank   •   Published 42 mins ago   •   Updated 15 mins ago   NBC Universal, Inc. Ron Jaworski and Reuben Frank share their instant analysis following the Eagles’ 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers in Week 4. I looked down at my laptop midway through the second quarter and the Bucs had 255 yards and the Eagles had 0 yards. You really don’t have to be much of a football expert to understand this is not good. In fact, it’s impossibly, unbelievably, astonishingly bad. The Eagles didn’t just lose a football game Sunday in Tampa 33-16, they embarrassed themselves. They were so thoroughly outplayed on both sides of the football it looked they hadn’t practiced or prepared all week. And if that score looks remotely competitive, it was 21-0 a few plays into the second quarter and it was already over. Yeah, the Eagles were missing a bunch of really good players, but that’s no excuse for th...

NYC Mayor Eric Adams indicted on 5 federal public corruption charges, including bribery and wire fraud

    New York City Mayor Eric Adams has been indicted on five federal charges related to bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, according to a 57-page indictment unsealed Thursday morning. The indictment alleges illegal actions stretching back to 2014, from when he was Brooklyn Borough president. “For nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper valuable benefits, such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him,” the indictment reads. Specifically, Adams received luxury travel and other benefits from a Turkish official and later in exchange pressured the NYC Fire Department to open a Turkish consular building without a fire inspection, the indictment says. The mayor “engaged in a long-running conspiracy,” Damian Williams, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said Thursday. “Mayor ...
