Joe Brady: If DJ Moore can be out there for Week 3, he’ll be out there

After defeating the Lions on Thursday night, the Bills will have a long weekend to rest up and heal before hosting the Chargers in Week 3.

That’s good news for a club that has a pair of key players banged up.

Head coach Joe Brady did not have much of an update on receiver DJ Moore — who exited the game with a shoulder injury — or Ed Oliver, who was inactive after injuring his hip during pregame warm-ups.

“We’re still obviously going through [it],” Brady said. “One of the perks of the Thursday night game, not a lot of perks, but one of the perks of it is you do get that long weekend, and guys will recover. So we don’t practice again until next Wednesday. No different than any other — we’ll see how these guys are going to recover and how their body will take it. As you guys who have been around DJ or know DJ’s past, he’s as tough as they come. So, if he can be out there, he’ll be out there.

"[Oliver is] another guy, we’ll just see how he’s progressing,” Brady added. “The guys that are getting tests and MRIs and all that, they’re getting that now.”

Additionally, Brady noted that running back Ty Johnson and defensive lineman T.J. Sanders were close to playing against the Lions. With the extended break before Week 3, both may be able to be back for Buffalo’s next game.

The Bills will host the Chargers on Sunday, Sept. 27.
