What the Bills first injury report of the week really tells us.

The Buffalo Bills returned from their little field trip to Houston fairly healthy , but now as they prepare to face the Detroit Lions on Thursday Night Football's Week 2 airing, they aren't going to have much time to heal up what things bumps and bruises they are dealing with.

The first report of Week 2 is a little longer than last week's, but it's still not scary.

NOTE: This tracker will be updated following each injury report leading up to kickoff.

It's important to remember that the Bills did not actually practice on Monday. This list just represents what they estimate participation would have been had they actually done anything much more than film work and rest and recovery exercises.

The good news is that DJ Moore 's quick trip to the medical tent Sunday afternoon, along with Josh Allen 's temporary hand discomfort, didn't amount to anything.

I would expect Ty Johnson to return this week, but if he does, what does that mean for Frank Gore , Jr.? The second-year running back was called up from the practice squad Sunday and out snapped Ray Davis on offense. In fact, the Bills' fourth running back doubled Davis's snaps: Gore, Jr. 10, Davis 5. Offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, Jr. — or Joe Brady depending on how we want to look at the Buffalo offense – seemed very content using Gore, Jr. in a blocking role.

It's unlikely that Bernard will be unavailable, but if he can't we could see Shaq Thompson called up from the practice squad.

Bishop was technically "downgraded" to limited after an estimated full practice on Monday. There's no serious indication he could miss this game, however. Apparently Sanders was sick, which led to his absence. He did not play in Week 1 against the Texans, remember.

I'm mostly zeroing in on Johnson. Despite getting in a practice on Friday before Week 1's game in Houston, Buffalo decided to keep the veteran on the sidelines as he nurses his hamstring injury back to full health. For as much as it might seem like he should be close to 100% by now — after suffering the injury in the Blue & Red Scrimmage in early August — the Bills could be staring at the 10-day layoff after this game and decide to keep him on the shelf for one more (game) week.

Fortunately, DJ Moore did not find himself on the official injury report after this update from Syracuse.com's Matt Parrino:

It appears all is well for Moore two days before this Week 2 showdown with Detroit in prime time.

Miller and Scruggs are the blockers to monitor on this short week for the Lions. The former was the club's first-round pick out of Clemson and played 77 snaps in Week 1. Only allowed one pressure. Scruggs is Detroit's starting center, and he also played on all 77 offensive snaps for Detroit in their Week 1 victory.

If Miller can't go, veteran Larry Borom is the Lions swing tackle. He's appeared in 64 games with 38 starts in his six seasons to date.

As for Scruggs, who, at this point, seems more likely to play than Miller, if he's unavailable for Thursday night's game, the Lions would have to do some positional shuffling, as they don't have a dedicated backup center on the 53-man roster right now.

It's now trending in the direction of the Lions being down both their starting left guard — Mahogany — and first-round pick right tackle — Miller in this game. As would be the case for any team, not having those two starters up front would be rather sizable losses for the Lions in this one. I wonder how much the short week plays in here.

The only other notable development from Tuesday's report is the sudden inclusion of Reed, the veteran (former Jets ) cornerback with a foot injury.
