Bell Still Working Back From Lower-Body Issue

Brady offered an encouraging note, saying "His lower body right now, getting him back... If it was a (regular season) game, he would have been able to play today."

Moore's Ankle Scare in Debut

Offseason acquisition DJ Moore also exited early in his Bills preseason debut. Moore left his Bills preseason debut early with an apparent ankle injury after racking up 61 yards on his first three catches. Brady offered a reassuring update afterward, and by Tuesday, wide receiver DJ Moore took the field without issue after suffering an injury scare in the Bills' preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers , easing concerns about his availability.

Broader Concern for Buffalo

The receiver injuries are part of a larger trend of camp ailments for the Bills. The Bills had a large list of players out for Thursday practice, filled with names who are supposed to be impactful players this upcoming regular season . With Moore appearing to have avoided serious injury, Buffalo's coaching staff will be closely monitoring Shakir, Coleman and Bell as the team continues preparations for the regular-season opener.
