Story summary

DJ Moore, a key wide receiver for the Buffalo Bills, will be inactive in their upcoming Monday Night Football matchup against the Los Angeles Rams due to an AC joint shoulder injury. Moore has missed parts of recent games and did not practice last week, impacting his ability to play. This absence comes as the Rams are getting healthier; starting cornerback Jaylen Watson is expected to return after missing two weeks with a dislocated left shoulder. Meanwhile, other notable injuries include Bills players Joshua Palmer (shoulder) and Ed Oliver (knee). The game, scheduled for Week 5 of the NFL season in Inglewood, California, will be impacted by these player status changes on both teams.
