Buffalo Bills wide receiver D.J. Moore re-aggravated his left shoulder Sunday against the New England Patriots.
Moore was injured late in the second quarter when he dove for a Josh Allen pass near the sideline. Patriots cornerback Marcus Jones fell on top of Moore as the two went to the ground, and Moore immediately reached for his left shoulder after the play.
The Bills initially listed Moore as questionable to return.
During halftime, Buffalo downgraded him to doubtful.
Moore entered the game already dealing with the same shoulder injury. He suffered an AC joint sprain against the Detroit Lions in Week 2 when he landed hard on his left shoulder while diving for a pass in the end zone. He was ruled out for the remainder of that game.
Moore returned
against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 3 despite being listed as questionable. He played 42 of Buffalo's 66 offensive snaps and caught six passes for 67 yards on 10 targets. He also had the shoulder checked again late in the first half after being tackled following an 8-yard reception but remained in the game.
Much better view of the DJ Moore left shoulder injury.

Looks like he aggravated that already injured shoulder from 2 weeks ago.
That’s the concern playing through these injuries. #Bills https://t.co/B9msFVdTQp pic.twitter.com/aseWvsvoVP
The shoulder continued to limit Moore in practice leading up to the Patriots game. He was limited throughout the week but did not receive an injury designation on Buffalo's final report.
Moore had one catch for 11 yards and one rushing attempt for 6 yards in the first half Sunday.
Buffalo also announced at halftime that defensive back Te'Cory Couch was doubtful to return because of a hamstring injury.
