Bills Surprise With Curtis Samuel as Healthy Scratch for Sunday Night Football
In a surprising twist ahead of the highly anticipated Sunday Night Football matchup, the Buffalo Bills have listed veteran wide receiver Curtis Samuel as one of their six inactive players against the Baltimore Ravens. This unexpected decision raises eyebrows, particularly given Samuel’s absence from the injury report leading up to the game.
Tre’Davious White Remains Out
The Bills will also be without cornerback Tre’Davious White, who is still nursing a groin injury. White, a pivotal figure in Buffalo’s defense, rejoined the team after spending a season away. Unfortunately, he did not practice this week and carried a doubtful designation into Sunday night’s game. His absence is felt deeply by the team, as they look to secure a strong start to their season.
Curtis Samuel’s Status
Curtis Samuel’s inclusion in the inactive list is particularly intriguing. He spent time during training camp recovering from a hamstring injury, which raised concerns about his availability. However, he was not listed on the Week 1 injury report, leading many to believe he was fit to play. The decision to make him a healthy scratch suggests a strategic choice by the coaching staff, although the reasoning behind it remains unclear.
Looking Ahead
As the Bills gear up for the matchup against the Ravens, the absence of both White and Samuel will undoubtedly impact their game plan. Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how these roster decisions play out on the field in Orchard Park.
