Phil Snow defends the run defense

2 min read



— Wide receiver DJ Moore didn’t have much to add to his injury status Thursday.

He was limited in practice for the second straight day with a hamstring issue.

Asked how it felt, Moore said: “It’s good. Still working on it. Was out there at practice. Just taking it one day at a time.”

He was pretty low-key and monotone when he said it, but that’s just kind of the way he talks most days. He said the injury happened as he was “pulling people” upfield against the Falcons. Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said there was an initial suggestion that he was out for the rest of the game, but Moore said he was playing.

His toughness has been on display all season, and will extend to his choice of attire. Sunday’s forecast high in Buffalo is 31 degrees, and there’s a chance of snow Saturday.

But Moore shrugged off the idea of wearing extra gear because of the temperature. Moore will wear sleeves in practice, but prefers not to during games.

“No, I still go out there with no sleeves on and play football. Been doing it since college, and I’m just going to continue to do it,” he said. “I don’t really live sleeves. I wore a sleeve in college, but I didn’t like it when I got here. Maybe it was because of the two fumbles I had when I was a rookie. But other than that, I just don’t like sleeves, period.”

He lost a pair of fumbles in a game against Washington in 2018 and three during his rookie season, but has only lost two since — including one this year against the Vikings in Week 6.
