Moore was injured in the second quarter while attempting to catch a pass from Josh Allen near the Detroit goal line.

Allen and Bills coach Joe Brady also went onto the field to check on him. Democrat and Chronicle
Moore then got to his feet and walked to the locker room with trainers. An Amazon Prime sideline report said he was questionable to return while undergoing X-rays, with the Bills concerned about his shoulder and a possible stinger. Democrat and Chronicle
Buffalo Rumblings later reported that Moore had been downgraded from questionable to out. That is the latest status described in the available reporting. Buffalo Rumblings

The reports do not provide a confirmed medical diagnosis for Moore, imaging results, a recovery timetable or a statement on whether he will miss future games. They also do not establish whether the injury is limited to a stinger or involves a more serious shoulder problem.
Why Moore’s status matters to Buffalo
Moore joined the Bills after a March 11 trade from the Chicago Bears and made an immediate impact in Buffalo’s 36–31 Week 1 win over the Houston Texans. He caught five passes for 100 yards and a touchdown, according to Testudo Times. Testudo Times
NFL.com reported that Moore accounted for 122 yards through three catches and a pass-interference penalty during one 90-second stretch of that game. The Bills had brought him in as a major addition to their passing attack, and his performance helped define his first appearance for the team. NFL.com
For now, the clearest update is that Moore left the Lions game for shoulder X-rays and was subsequently reported as out. Further details about the injury remain unresolved.
