Buffalo Bills face mounting injury concerns ahead of Bengals showdown
The Buffalo Bills are grappling with significant injury woes as they prepare for a pivotal matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. For the second consecutive week, the team may be without two crucial pass-catchers. Tight end Dalton Kincaid has been designated as questionable, while wide receiver Joshua Palmer carries a doubtful tag heading into the December 7 home contest.
As the week progressed, the chances of either player taking the field on Sunday appeared to diminish. Compounding the situation, defensive end Joey Bosa and linebacker Terrel Bernard have already been ruled out for Week 14, leaving the Bills’ roster looking thinner than usual. Right tackle Spencer Brown, dealing with his own injury, is also listed as questionable. The coaching staff may choose to exercise caution with Brown’s return, potentially leading to Ryan Van Demark stepping into the starting role against a formidable Bengals defense.
Injury report updates
On a somewhat brighter note, the Bills have seen some relief as six players on the injury report have been cleared for the upcoming matchup. Notably, tight end Jackson Hawes and defensive end AJ Epenesa were newly added to the list earlier in the week, but both have since received the green light to play.
As the Bills gear up for this crucial game, the health of their roster will be paramount. The absence of key players could significantly impact their ability to compete against the Bengals, a team that has proven to be a tough opponent in the AFC North.
