Summary

The Buffalo Bills are set to face the Los Angeles Rams in a pivotal Monday Night Football match-up, potentially a Super Bowl preview. However, the Bills' offensive strength is in question due to the uncertain status of star wide receiver DJ Moore, who is officially listed as questionable for the game due to a persistent shoulder injury.

Moore did not participate in practice on Thursday or Friday but returned in a limited capacity on Saturday, raising hopes for his potential appearance. The Bills also elevated wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. from the practice squad, indicating that Moore's status might be a game-time decision. Fellow receiver Joshua Palmer has already been ruled out with a shoulder injury, further complicating the team's receiving options.

Acquired from the Chicago Bears this offseason, Moore has been battling this injury since Week 2 against the Detroit Lions. Although he has not missed any games, the injury has affected his performance, particularly after he re-aggravated it during last week's loss to the New England Patriots.

In the games he has played without injury, Moore has been a crucial asset for quarterback Josh Allen, recording:

  • 5 receptions for 100 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 against Houston.
  • 6 receptions for 67 yards in Week 3.

With a 28.6% and 38.5% target share in those games, he ranks second on the team in red zone targets.

Should Moore be unable to play, Keon Coleman will need to step up. Coleman is coming off a standout performance, catching 6 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown against New England. His recent form suggests he could be a vital contributor if Moore is limited or sidelined.
