DJ Moore is back, baby! After getting dinged up in that Week 2 win against the Lions, the Bills wide receiver is officially cleared for action this Sunday. Talk about a quick turnaround! He had more than a week to recover from that shoulder injury, and it was enough time to get the green light. This is HUGE for the Bills as they try to keep their perfect season rolling, staring down a 3-0 start.
The Bills Offense Gets a Major Shot in the Arm
Moore’s return isn’t just a feel-good story; it’s a massive shot in the arm for an offense looking to move to 3-0. Getting your top target back after a shoulder scare is exactly what you want heading into a home game against an 0-2 Chargers squad. Remember that Week 2 game against the Lions? Moore took a hit, but that extra recovery time did the trick. And it’s not just Moore! Wide receiver Keon Coleman, also listed as questionable, is active for Buffalo. That means the Bills’ receiving corps is looking seriously strong, ready to pick apart that Chargers’ defense.
Defense Gets a Lift as Chargers Look for Answers
The good news isn’t just on offense. The Bills are also getting defensive tackle Ed Oliver back in the lineup. Oliver missed that Lions game after suffering a hip injury during pregame warmups. Having him back on the D-line is huge for putting pressure on a Chargers team desperate for a win. On the flip side, the Chargers are still rolling with Justin Herbert, but their backup quarterback situation saw some action. Trey Lance, listed as questionable, is active. They even summoned DJ Uiagalelei from the practice squad as insurance, though there will be no change behind Herbert. So, a little QB shuffling for the 0-2 Chargers.
Bills and Chargers List Their Inactives
While the big names are playing, both teams do have some guys sitting this one out. For the Chargers, S Elijah Molden, QB DJ Uiagalelei (yes, even after being summoned, he’s on the inactive list for the game), OL Alex Harkey, G Kayode Awosika, TE Charlie Kolar, WR Brenen Thompson, and DT Dalvin Tomlinson won’t be suiting up. The Bills will be without WR Skyler Bell, OL Jude Bowry, OL Ar’maj Reed-Adams, DL T.J. Sanders, LB Mike Danna, and S Jalon Kilgore. It’s always tough to lose depth, but the key players are definitely in for Buffalo.
So, here we are, folks. The Bills, stacked and ready, at home, looking to go 3-0 on the season against an 0-2 Chargers team. With Moore, Coleman, and Oliver all active and ready to roll, this looks like a prime opportunity for Buffalo to make an early statement in the league and really show everyone they mean business this year. Get ready, because it’s gonna be a must-watch game as the Bills try to lock down that perfect start!
