Buffalo Bills wide receiver DJ Moore suffered a shoulder injury in Thursday's 41-31 victory over the Detroit Lions and didn't finish the game.

Moore landed hard on his shoulder after trying to catch a pass in the end zone during the second quarter, though the play ultimately didn't count due to a holding call on Buffalo. He was then taken to the locker room for X-rays.

The veteran wideout was held without a catch Thursday.

Bills quarterback Josh Allen turned to Dalton Kincaid as his go-to target versus Detroit. The tight end led the team with eight targets, seven catches, and 95 receiving yards. Keon Coleman was Buffalo's top wide receiver with 63 yards on six grabs.

Buffalo acquired the 29-year-old Moore in an offseason trade with the Chicago Bears. He caught five passes for 100 yards and a touchdown in his Bills debut in Week 1.
