The Buffalo Bills are sitting at a sweet 2-0 to kick off the 2026 season, after putting away the Houston Texans in Week 1 and grinding out a win against the Detroit Lions in Week 2. Josh Allen’s clearly got his eyes locked on a perfect 3-0 start, especially with the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers coming up in Week 3. But hold up, that dream start got a whole lot more complicated thanks to some seriously shaky injury updates.
“Game-Time” Decisions for Key Wideouts
Here’s the deal: on Friday, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo dropped the bomb that both star wide receivers, DJ Moore and Keon Coleman, are questionable for Sunday’s massive matchup. And we’re not talking simply questionable, folks. Head Coach Joe Brady told reporters they’ll give both guys until “game time” on Sunday. Moore’s dealing with a shoulder injury, and Coleman’s got an ankle issue that could both easily keep them sidelined for a week. DT Ed Oliver (hip) is also a game-time decision, by the way. This isn’t a minor blip; being a “game-time” decision is one step from doubtful. This is a big deal, no doubt.
Who Steps Up If They Sit?
So, what happens if both Moore and Coleman are out there on the sidelines? That’s a huge hit to the offense, let’s be real. If they both have to sit to get close to 100% for the next game, you’re gonna see Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and Skyler Bell getting the bulk of the targets at wide receiver. Plus, you can bet Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and James Cook III will be seeing plenty of action as well. It’s a shaky situation for sure, and we won’t know the full picture until right before kickoff.
It all comes down to Sunday’s game against the Chargers. Can Buffalo stay perfect at 3-0 without potentially two of their biggest playmakers? It’s going to be a nail-biter waiting for those game-time calls.
