Overview
- D.J. Moore suffered a left-shoulder AC joint sprain in Week 2 and after a limited practice Wednesday was downgraded to a non‑participant Thursday, leaving his Sunday availability uncertain.
- Head coach Joe Brady said the team still thinks some players who skipped parts of practice could play, but Buffalo will monitor Moore’s pain threshold and contact work before making a game‑day decision.
- Wide receiver Keon Coleman also missed Wednesday and Thursday practices with an ankle issue and DT T.J. Sanders was ruled out after an appendectomy, pressuring Buffalo’s depth on both perimeter and interior fronts.
- The Chargers opened Week 3 with 14 players on the report, with TE Charlie Kolar confirmed out after forearm surgery while Rashawn Slater and Cole Strange were upgraded from limited to full practice on Thursday.
- If Moore or Coleman sit, game planning and target distribution are likely to shift toward Dalton Kincaid, Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer, and Buffalo may use practice‑squad call‑ups or rotate veterans to cover snaps.
