Buffalo Bills Monday Night Football injury status DJ Moore Dalton Kincaid Keon Coleman, Digi Mart USA News (Minnesota): The Buffalo Bills could be without the starting left side of their offensive line when they visit the Minnesota Vikings for Monday Night Football, but there is plenty of good news elsewhere on offense. Quarterback Josh Allen is set to face the NFL’s No. 2 defense in Week 9 and will have a relatively healthy group of weapons at his disposal.
Wide receiver DJ Moore, tight end Dalton Kincaid and wide receiver Keon Coleman all began the practice week in red non-contact jerseys following the November 1 win over the Baltimore Ravens. None of the three missed practice this past week, and all three have been cleared for the November 9 primetime matchup in Minnesota, which will pit them against the top-ranked pass defense.
Buffalo will be without wide receiver Josh Palmer, who pulled up lame while running a route in the first quarter against Baltimore. The severity of his hamstring injury is unknown, but Palmer appears to be in jeopardy of missing multiple weeks.
Meanwhile, starting left tackle Dion Dawkins and left guard Alec Anderson are officially questionable for the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
Moore appears to be clear of the shoulder injury he suffered in Week 2. After missing back-to-back games heading into the Week 7 bye, he returned to the starting lineup in Week 8 against the Ravens, where he was listed as questionable and went on to make four receptions for 82 yards and one touchdown in the 36-10 win.
He was slow to get up after a catch midway through the fourth quarter but was cleared after evaluation, and this week marks the first time since Week 2 that he does not carry a questionable tag.
Kincaid experienced discomfort while running a third-quarter red zone route against the Las Vegas Raiders on October 18. He was checked in the locker room, cleared to return, and made a 14-yard reception three snaps later.
The Bills were cautious with him coming out of the bye, limiting him all week before the Ravens game, where he played 57 percent of snaps and made four catches for 86 yards and one touchdown. He progressed to full participation on Friday and Saturday in Week 9 and no longer wears the red non-contact jersey.
Coleman was added to the injury report in Week 9 with a shoulder problem after appearing to leave the November 1 win intact; he had earlier dealt with an ankle issue this season. He was a limited participant in all three practices this week and was seen in a red non-contact jersey during media-viewing portions, but he is expected to be available for Monday Night Football.
Leading all skill position players in offensive snaps with 63, Coleman had a three-game touchdown streak entering the game but made only one four-yard catch against the Ravens, along with a deep route on which Allen overthrew him for what would have been a touchdown.
