The Buffalo Bills offense continued to roll in Week 2, scoring six touchdowns in a 41-31 win over the Detroit Lions on "Thursday Night Football," but a key receiver was ruled out during the contest for an injury that will be worth monitoring before Week 3. Wide receiver DJ Moore suffered a shoulder injury while attempting to make a touchdown reception in the second quarter. Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Moore was ruled out due to the injury.
Moore had no receptions in the contest. He was credited with one rushing attempt for -1 yard.

The Bills sent the Chicago Bears a second-round pick in exchange for Moore and a fifth-round pick in the offseason. Following the Bills' win on Sunday, head coach Joe Brady said Moore proved why he was worth the trade. "And look, we had a PI that’s not even going to show up in the stat book, right?
But that’s another added bonus, right? You saw the different types of weapons that we had, with DJ having a big game, Dalton (Kincaid) had a big game. "A lot of trust that Josh (Allen) has in those guys--it's just going to continue to open up for everybody else.
I was proud for him to get in the end zone. I know he's been working on it... He has a little chip on it, you can tell, so happy for him." With Moore out, Allen turned to Kincaid, who led the Bills in receiving with seven receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown.
Keon Coleman had a solid night, recording six receptions for 63 yards. Joshua Palmer hauled in a 43-yard score. For more on the Bills and the NFL, head to Newsweek Sports.
