Joe Brady told reporters he will give Moore, Coleman, and Oliver until game time on Sunday to prove they can play.
The are turning Sunday's pregame warmups into a high-stakes medical drama.
Offensive coordinator Joe Brady told reporters that wide receivers and , along with defensive tackle Ed Oliver, are all officially questionable. According to Mike Garafolo, the team will wait until game time on Sunday against the to make a final call on all three starters.
Waiting until 90 minutes before kickoff to find out if your top two receivers are playing is the NFL equivalent of not knowing if your parachute is packed until you jump out of the plane.
Moore is dealing with an A/C joint sprain in his shoulder after landing hard in the end zone during Week 2 against the . is nursing an ankle issue that kept him out of practice early in the week. Together, they account for 12 catches and 174 yards through the first two games, meaning might be throwing to guys who just learned the playbook on a napkin if things go south.
On the defensive side, Oliver is still managing a hip injury that literally happened during pregame warmups last week. When your star defensive tackle gets hurt before the stadium even fills up, you know the injury luck is completely cursed.
For anyone holding a fantasy roster or staring at the betting lines for this matchup, this is a pure waiting game. You cannot confidently touch a receiving prop until the inactive list officially drops and confirms who is actually putting on a helmet.
The Chargers are coming off a 26-14 win over the and will gladly take advantage of a battered roster. If Moore, , and Oliver are all in street clothes by kickoff on Sunday, the Bills are going to have a brutal time defending their home turf.
