Bills wide receiver DJ Moore missed practice for the second straight day Thursday because of a shoulder injury, per Adam Schefter. The continued absence from Buffalo's Thursday session puts his status for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders in question.
Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter): For the second straight day today, Bills WR DJ Moore did not practice due to his shoulder injury.
Moore has been a key target in Buffalo's passing game, and the group behind him on the depth chart is a rotation of contributors rather than proven starters. A multi-game absence would force the Bills to lean more heavily on their other receivers and tight ends to replace his downfield production.
A second consecutive DNP is not automatically disqualifying — teams routinely rest players on Thursday before deciding they can go Sunday — but it is a warning flag given Moore was also limited Wednesday. The Bills will likely list him as questionable on the final injury report, with a decision coming down to how he responds to treatment over the next two days.
Buffalo faces Las Vegas on Sunday in a key AFC matchup, and Moore's availability will be one of the week's biggest questions for the Bills' offense.
