Bills vs. Raiders: Final Week 6 injury report - Ed Oliver, DJ Moore questionable

The Buffalo Bills toppled the L.A. Rams in remarkable fashion, but it's a short week before facing the Raiders. Las Vegas hosts the Bills before the Buffalo bye week, and the away team are limping into it. This Week 6 injury report is as long as any this season.

Though perhaps better than last week, that doesn't say much. Let's get into this week's final injury report, per the Bills' PR team.

Bills' Week 6 Friday injury report vs. Raiders

CB Dee Alford - Ankle

Game Status: QUESTIONABLE

After a Week 5 primetime game where he was sorely missed, Dee Alford ramped up in practice this week. He's not perfect yet, but his questionable status offers progress ahead of a much-needed bye week.

CB Christian Benford - Toe

Game Status: AVAILABLE

Christian Benford was the best defensive back for the Bills against the Rams, as the unit got destroyed. His toe injury didn't seem to slow him down, but he's not yet fully recovered.

After one missed game, Benford's Week 5 performance was adequate. Week 6 shows no limitations, as they pursue a get-right game against the Raiders.

LB Terrel Bernard - Knee/Vet Rest

Game Status: AVAILABLE

Terrel Bernard remains in long-term recovery from his knee injury, and has no limitations.

T Spencer Brown - Back

Game Status: AVAILABLE

Spencer Brown's injury seemed destined to derail the Bills on Monday Night Football. Instead, backup tackle Tylan Grable excelled, and the offense prevailed. He's had back trouble before, but it hasn't reared it's head in some time.

Spencer Brown was quickly declared out for he rest of the game, but made strides to be ready for Week 6. He's escaped Week 5 clean, and has no designation for gameday.

OLB Bradley Chubb - Thumb

Game Status: AVAILABLE

The thumb injury of Bradley Chubb is unchanged since Week 1. He's available.

WR Keon Coleman - Ankle

Game Status: AVAILABLE

As Keon Coleman's impressive season continues, it hits a statistical lull. Still, his one catch for a touchdown and several key off-number plays make for a notable contributor.

He's recovered well from his injury and participated fully in practice this week. Keon Coleman has no limitations.

DL Landon Jackson - Knee

Game Status: AVAILABLE

A quick recovery for Landon Jackson's knee, and he's back to fully participating in practice. Though he missed Week 5's primetime action, he wasn't far off.

This week, Jackson is ready to go.

S C.J. Gardner-Johnson - Ankle/Knee

Game Status: AVAILABLE

Despite some injury trouble in recent weeks, C.J. Gardner-Johnson hasn't missed a beat. He's still dealing with ankle and knee issues but his play and practice seems unaffected.

RB Ty Johnson - Hamstring

Game Status: AVAILABLE

It's currently unclear if this is the same hamstring injury that benched Ty Johnson to start the season, but we do know it affects his game. After an excellent slate of performances, reminders of his importance to this offence, Johnson would be missed.

Fortunately, he was a full participant in practice by week's end, and has no designation for Sunday.

WR D.J. Moore - Shoulder

Game Status: QUESTIONABLE

D.J. Moore was unable to play in Week 5 against the L.A. Rams, and remained out of practice this week. The wide receiver has struggled since Week 2, and the rest may be needed to get him right for the rest of the year.

Last week's questionable designation led to an inactive status; This week could be no different, with the bye week around the corner.

Still, getting D.J. Moore back would be a boost for an offense that truly needs him to open up the passing game. For now, he remains questionable.

DL Ed Oliver - Knee

Game Status: QUESTIONABLE

Last week, Ed Oliver was declared out early. This week, he didn't practice to start after missing MNF against the Rams.

He did tick up for Friday's practice, and is questionable to play against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

WR Joshua Palmer - Shoulder

Game Status: QUESTIONABLE

The Buffalo Bills have health issues at wide receiver, but they're getting better. After missing Monday Night Football, Joshua Palmer returns to practice. The streaky wideout could see the field this week, but there's no rush.

OLB TJ Parker - Rib

Game Status: AVAILABLE

TJ Parker went down briefly with a rib injury during Week 5, but hasn't been slowed by treatment. He remains fully practicing and available for Sunday.

G Ar'Maj Reed-Adams - Elbow

Game Status: AVAILABLE

Reed-Adams is in long-term recovery, but is fully available when needed.

DL T.J. Sanders - Shoulder

Game Status: QUESTIONABLE

Following his first game of the season, ending his recovery from an appendectomy, T.J. Sanders exits action with a shoulder injury. It held him back somewhat to open practice.

Fortunately, the stud DL is only questionable, hoping to make his second appearance of 2026.

Bills Injury Report Summary

Only 5 names make the Buffalo Bills injury watchlist this week. At wide receiver, D.J. Moore and Joshua Palmer lend uncertainty to the offense. Rookie WR Skyler Bell saw his first action against the Rams, and may be needed again.

On the defensive line, Landon Jackson's return gives some patience to both DLs Ed Oliver and T.J. Sanders. Still, Buffalo would be better off with their best out there.

The Bills do need better than they've had from their defensove backs. Getting NCB Dee Alford back on the field would help. If he's unable to go, Buffalo's plan of using Damar Hamlin has been ineffective. There are others on this roster better suited to replace the nickel.
