Bills receiver DJ Moore ruled out ahead of Monday Night Football matchup against Rams

· California Post

The Rams and Bills are set to kick off the final slate of games for Week 5 in the NFL, and it appears that Los Angeles just got a big break before kickoff.

The Buffalo Bills announced that wide receiver DJ Moore will be inactive due to a shoulder injury.

Moore has been dealing with an AC joint injury since Week 2 after he attempted diving for a pass from Josh Allen in the endzone.

Moore landed hard on the ground and had Lions cornerback Rock Ya-Sin land right on top of him.

He never returned back to the game, but has appeared in the Bills’ last two games, including Week 3 when he had six receptions for 67 yards against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Last week, when Buffalo was facing New England, Moore exited the game early after he aggravated his shoulder injury.

The loss of Moore comes at the same time the Rams are getting healthy again.

On Monday morning, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter revealed that starting cornerback Jaylen Watson is expected to play against the Bills after missing the last two weeks due to a dislocated left shoulder he suffered against the Denver Broncos.

Aside from Watson, Schefter added that Aaron Donald and tight end Colby Parkinson are also expected to return.
