Moore brought in six of 10 targets for 67 yards in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Making his return from an early Week 2 exit due to a shoulder injury, Moore jumped right back into the swing of things by leading the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran wideout has made an impact in both of his non-injury-shortened games with Josh Allen, producing an 11-167-1 line on 18 targets. Moore figures to continue commanding the majority of Allen's attention in a Week 4 home matchup against the Patriots next Sunday.

Bills' DJ Moore: Active for Week 3
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
It was reported shortly before kickoff that Moore was expected to suit up Sunday, and he will indeed do so. It's unclear how close Moore is to 100 percent after sandwiching a couple limited practices around a Thursday 'DNP' on the injury report, so it remains to be seen if he will fill his usual role in Week 3.

Bills' DJ Moore: Expected to play Sunday
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) is in line to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
When Moore was listed as questionable for Week 3 action Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wide receiver would be a game-time decision. Moore had sandwiched limited sessions around an absence Thursday prior to those comments due to an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 2 against the Lions, but Schefter's report Sunday morning indicates that he'll avoid the Bills' inactive list about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bills' DJ Moore: Will be game-time decision
Rotowire
Head coach Joe Brady said Friday that Moore (shoulder) will be listed as questionable and a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Chargers, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Moore made an early exit from the Bills' Week 2 win against the Lions due to an AC joint sprain, and while he was able to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday, he sat out Thursday's session before returning to drills Friday in a red non-contact jersey. Both Moore and fellow WR Keon Coleman (ankle) are considered game-time calls for Week 3 action, but both players' statuses will be confirmed by about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bills' DJ Moore: Returns to practice Friday
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) was back on the practice field Friday in a red non-contact jersey, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
After a limited practice to start the week, Moore was held out Thursday. He's now back practicing with his teammates, though it sounds like he'll be listed as a limited participant and may get an injury designation for Sunday's matchup with the Chargers.

Bills' DJ Moore: Absent at start of practice
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) was not spotted on the practice field at the beginning of Thursday's session, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
There's still a chance Moore joins his teammates for practice Thursday but it's noteworthy nonetheless that he's not there as things get underway. Moore, who suffered an AC joint sprain in the Week 2 win over the Lions, reportedly "felt great" after Wednesday's practice, though he was in a non-contact jersey. The rest of the week will give more clarity on Moore's status as Sunday approaches. Buscaglia added that Keon Coleman (ankle) was also absent for the start of Thursday's session.

Bills' DJ Moore: Feeling great following practice
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) "felt great" after getting in a limited practice Wednesday, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Moore did not take contact Wednesday and officially did not get in a full session, but he was optimistic about his status when asked about it afterward. While Moore is taking the positive path and there is reason to believe he will suit up Sunday against the Chargers, it remains to be seen if he will do so.

Bills' DJ Moore: Practicing, but not taking contact
Rotowire
Moore (shoulder) was spotted participating in Wednesday's practice while wearing a red non-contact jersey, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Moore made an early exit from the Bills' Week 2 win over the Lions due to an AC joint sprain, logging just 23 snaps while finishing with no targets and one carry for minus-1 yard during his limited time on the field. Though he appears set to go down as a limited practice participant on the Bills' first Week 3 injury report, Moore's presence on the field is generally a positive sign for his chances of suiting up Sunday versus the Chargers.

Bills' DJ Moore: Viewed as day-to-day
Rotowire
The Bills are treating Moore as day-to-day after he was diagnosed with an AC joint sprain in his shoulder after exiting Thursday's 41-31 win over the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Moore carried once for minus-1 yard and didn't draw a target on his 23 snaps before exiting Thursday's contest late in the second quarter. Keon Coleman (55 snaps, 6-63-0 line on six targets) saw a boosted profile on offense in Moore's absence, but Coleman could fade into more of a tertiary role in the passing game if Moore is able to play through the shoulder injury during the Bills' Week 3 matchup with the Chargers. Rapoport relays that Moore is expected to practice next week, and the Bills will see how his shoulder responds before his status for next Sunday's contest is clarified.

Bills' DJ Moore: Posts 100 yards, TD in Bills debut
Rotowire
Moore caught five of eight targets for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.
Moore made a strong first impression with the Bills, highlighted by a 43-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. The 29-year-old wide receiver had a career-low 682 receiving yards in 17 regular-season games with the Bears last year, but he has exceeded 1,000 yards in four of eight regular seasons split between the Panthers and Bears. Josh Allen spread the ball around as usual against Houston, but Moore paced the team with eight targets. Moore will look to build on this productive debut in Thursday's home opener against the Lions.

Bills' DJ Moore: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
I love Moore this season, and I expect him to perform well with the Bills. But he might not have a great debut at Houston. The Texans have a standout secondary with Derek Stingley Jr., Kamari Lassiter and Jalen Pitre, and Moore will have a tough matchup almost anywhere he lines up. Moore played at Houston in 2024 with the Bears and finished with six catches for 53 yards on 10 targets, and I could see a similar stat line this week. I would still start Moore in three-receiver leagues in Week 1, but I'm not expecting a big stat line in this matchup.

Bills' DJ Moore: Rests during preseason finale
Rotowire
Moore didn't play against the Steelers in Thursday's exhibition victory.
Buffalo elected to rest the bulk of its projected regular-season starters, including Moore, for the team's final preseason game. The veteran wideout saw action in one exhibition contest, catching three of four targets for 61 yards. Moore left that game early due to an ankle injury but has since returned to practice, so he should be good to go as the Bills' top wideout Week 1 of the regular season versus a tough Texans defense.

Bills' DJ Moore: Taking part in team drills Thursday
Rotowire
Moore (lower body) is participating in team drills Thursday, Matthew Bove of 7 News WKBW reports.
Moore was limited in practice Tuesday after getting banged up in preseason action Saturday against the Panthers. He has progressed back to full participation Thursday, indicating that the injury is no longer hampering him. Buffalo is battling injuries to its wide receiver room behind Moore, as Khalil Shakir (undisclosed), Keon Coleman (foot) and Skyler Bell (lower body) are all hurt.

Bills' DJ Moore: Limited in return to practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Moore (lower body) was a limited participant in his return to practice Tuesday, Alex Brasky of SI.com reports.
After sustaining an apparent lower-body injury during Saturday's preseason win over the Panthers, Moore was back on the field three days later in full pads, albeit with some restrictions in place. According to Brasky, Moore was mostly limited to individual work and didn't take part in team drills. While the Bills could monitor his workload carefully over the next few days and potentially hold him out of Saturday's exhibition versus the Browns, Moore's availability for the start of the regular season doesn't appear to be in any peril.

Bills' DJ Moore: Not worried about injury
Rotowire
Moore noted after Saturday's 29-14 preseason win over the Panthers that he was "good to go" after an apparent lower-body injury that he sustained in the first quarter, Ryan Miller of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports.
Moore finished Saturday's exhibition game with three catches on four targets for 61 yards, all of which came during the first two offensive drives. He appeared to pick up the injury on his final catch for 18 yards, but Brady relayed to reporters that the veteran wide receiver would have come out of the game anyways following that drive. Moore wasted no time in showing a rapport with Josh Allen, but the former's injury will be worth monitoring over the coming days, and it wouldn't be surprising if Moore doesn't play in the Bills' next preseason game, which takes place Saturday, Aug. 22, against the Browns.

Bills' DJ Moore: Settling in as Allen's top target
Rotowire
Quarterback Josh Allen said in late June that Moore has been "a pretty seamless fit" and is "going to be a huge help" for Buffalo's offense in 2026, Nick Shook of NFL.com reports.
Moore was acquired by the Bills from Chicago in March for a second-round pick, and the 29-year-old veteran steps into a new wide receiver room alongside Khalil Shakir to provide Allen a true proven No. 1 receiver for the first time since Stefon Diggs' departure back in 2024. Catching passes from one of the NFL's premier quarterbacks will aid Moore as he looks to bounce back from a down 2025 season with the Bears, in which he totaled a career-worst 50-682-6 receiving line despite suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Moore faces less competition for targets in Buffalo, as behind Shakir and tight end Dalton Kincaid, the likes of Joshua Palmer, Keon Coleman and Skyler Bell fill out the team's receiver corps. If Moore can demonstrate that he hasn't lost a step at age 29, he'll be in position to bounce back in 2026 even if his best days are behind him.

Bills' DJ Moore: Getting traded to Buffalo
Rotowire
The Bears agreed to trade Moore to the Bills on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Buffalo will send a second-round draft pick to Chicago in exchange for Moore and 2026 fifth-round pick.
Moore should instantly slot in as the top receiving option for Josh Allen under head coach Joe Brady. The veteran wide receiver had at least 1,157 receiving yards in both the 2020 and 2021 regular seasons with the Panthers, where Brady was the offensive coordinator at the time. Moore's 682 regular-season receiving yards with the Bears in 2025 marked the lowest total of his eight-year career, as he lost target share to recent draft picks Rome Odunze, Luther Burden and Colston Loveland (concussion). Khalil Shakir led the Bills in targets and receiving yards each of the past two regular seasons, compiling 148 catches for 1,540 receiving yards on 195 targets over that span.

Bears' DJ Moore: Clear for divisional round
Rotowire
Moore (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Rams.
Both Moore and fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) followed an LP/LP/FP practice regimen this week, but only Odunze is entering the weekend as questionable to suit up. There's been no indication that Odunze is trending in the wrong direction to do so, and if he ends up being available, a similar breakdown of snaps between him (69 percent) and Moore (86 percent) from this past Saturday's wild-card win against the Packers is possible Sunday.

The same applies to fellow WR Rome Odunze (foot) after both players also were listed as limited on Wednesday's estimated injury report.

Bears' DJ Moore: Scores key TD in playoff win
Rotowire
Moore secured six of seven targets for 64 yards and a touchdown and rushed once for minus-5 yards in the Bears' 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers on Saturday.
Moore paced the Bears' wideouts in receptions and receiving yards while tying Luther Burden for the lead in targets on the night. The veteran also made up for a drop earlier in Chicago's game-winning drive by hauling in a 25-yard scoring strike from Caleb Williams that would prove to be the game-winning touchdown. Moore should continue playing an integral role in next weekend's divisional-round clash.
