Key Takeaways

• DJ Moore is officially questionable for Monday's game with a lingering shoulder injury after not practicing on Thursday and Friday, then practicing in a limited capacity on Saturday.
• Buffalo elevated wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. from the practice squad on Monday, signaling possible depth usage or a true game-time decision on Moore's status, alongside the earlier confirmation that Joshua Palmer is out with a shoulder issue.
• Moore was acquired from Chicago in the offseason and initially injured the shoulder in Week 2; he has not missed a game yet but his production has been dampened by the ailment, totaling 12 receptions for 178 yards and 1 TD through four games.
• In the two fully healthy games, Moore was the Bills’ top passing option, posting 100 yards and a TD on Week 1 against Houston and 67 yards on Week 3 with a high target share, reflecting his role when available.
• Keon Coleman would be next in line to absorb extra targets if Moore is limited, coming off six receptions for 116 yards and a TD in the prior game, with four catches for 16-plus yards and a high rate of first downs, illustrating his explosiveness.
• Moore’s presence has supported Josh Allen, but the Bills’ passing efficiency has sagged when Moore is sidelined or limited, making Coleman’s trajectory and Sherfield’s role critical to Buffalo’s Week 5 game plan against the Rams.
