Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore suffered a left shoulder injury late in the second quarter against the Detroit Lions.
Moore remained down on the field following the injury before eventually getting to his feet and walking off. He then went to the locker room for further evaluation, including X-rays.
The Bills officially listed Moore as questionable to return with a shoulder injury and stinger. At halftime, Moore was officially ruled OUT.
Pro Football Doc on DJ Moore's Shoulder Injury

“DJ Moore: By video, left AC joint sprain. Dubious return,” Pro Football Doc said.
DJ Moore Injury Update: AC Joint Sprain Confirmed
Moore has been diagnosed with a left AC joint sprain after suffering the shoulder injury during Thursday night's game against the Detroit Lions. X-rays were negative, and reports indicate the injury is not considered severe.
Pro Football Doc identified the AC joint sprain by video when Moore landed directly on his left shoulder while attempting to make a catch in the end zone. He described the injury as a shoulder separation rather than a clavicle fracture.
Will DJ Moore Play in Week 3?
Pro Football Doc believes Moore has a chance to play in Week 3, although he expects the Bills wide receiver to be limited in practice.
If Moore does play, Pro Football Doc said he will likely need a game-day AC joint injection to play effectively.
The injury is considered non-surgical, and Pro Football Doc does not expect Moore to require an injured reserve stint.
