The Buffalo Bills are set to face the Las Vegas Raiders on the road in Week 6 of the 2026 NFL season, but they will have to do so without D.J. Moore. According to insider Adam Schefter on X, the wide receiver has officially been ruled inactive for the game.
Even though Bills head coach Joe Brady threatened to take James Cook’s prominent role away, Buffalo may have no choice but to pound the rock as Moore won’t play against Las Vegas. That, or the Bills will need Josh Allen to play hero ball, not that it would be anything new for him.
Dealing with a shoulder injury, Moore was a limited participant in Buffalo’s Friday practice and is listed as questionable for the Week 6 matchup against Las Vegas in the 2026 NFL season. Moore didn’t play in the Bills’ primetime win over the Los Angeles Rams last week.

Joshua Palmer is also questionable to play against the Raiders. That means Josh Allen’s confirmed receiving options for Week 6 will include Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Greg Dortch, and Skyler Bell.

That’s not taking into account the loaded tight end room, which boasts the likes of Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and Jackson Hawes. If neither Moore nor Palmer can dress, expect Kincaid and company to have an even bigger role in Pete Carmichael’s offense.
Key takeaways
- Bills face Raiders in Week 6 with DJ Moore’s playing status still unconfirmed.
- DJ Moore listed questionable with a shoulder injury after practicing limited on Friday.
- Joshua Palmer questionable alongside DJ Moore, leaving Bills wide receiver options depleted.
