DJ Moore is questionable for Sunday’s matchup with the Raiders, leaving his availability for Week 6 in doubt after a week of limited work. The key update is that he did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, then returned in limited fashion on Friday.
That is enough to keep the question open heading into Sunday, even if the late-week practice participation is an encouraging sign. DJ Moore and the Bills are now waiting on how he feels after the final session before a decision is made.
Joe Brady: late-week reps give Moore a chance
Joe Brady said the group has been working on the side and getting through the walk-throughs, which made Friday a useful step forward. As he put it, “So, it was good to get them out here today and be able to move around.”
Brady also made it clear that the final call will come down to how the players respond: “We’ll see how they feel coming off the field…If they’re ready to go, they’re going to play.”
That leaves Moore in a classic questionable spot. He has not been ruled out, but after two missed practices earlier in the week, the Bills are still managing uncertainty around his status.
What the Friday update means
For a player like DJ Moore, a limited Friday practice usually matters because it suggests the door is still open for Sunday. At the same time, it does not guarantee he will be active, especially after last week’s game against the Rams, when he was inactive.
The broader injury report featured five questionable players, so Moore is part of a larger Week 6 picture rather than the only concern. But because his role can affect the lineup so directly, he remains one of the main names to watch before kickoff.
At this stage, the safest answer is that DJ Moore is not confirmed to play this week, but he is still in contention after returning to limited practice on Friday. The final verdict will depend on how he comes through Sunday’s pregame evaluation.
