Dalton Kincaid, the Buffalo Bills’ tight end, is not expected to play in Sunday’s game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a knee injury. Kincaid has missed the previous two games after sustaining the injury in Week 10 against the Colts. Although he returned to practice this week, he was limited in all three sessions, leading to a questionable designation. The Bills have decided that Kincaid will need more time to recover, and as a result, he will be unavailable for Sunday’s matchup.
In contrast, wide receiver Keon Coleman remains a game-time decision. Like Kincaid, Coleman was limited in practice throughout the week, which led to him being listed as questionable. The rookie receiver, who has had an impressive season with 417 receiving yards and three touchdowns, missed the last three games due to a wrist injury. However, Coleman still has a chance to play and could potentially suit up for the crucial game against the Rams.
This Week 14 game is particularly important for the Buffalo Bills as they continue to chase the top seed in the AFC, despite already securing the AFC East title. A win over the Rams would strengthen their position in the playoff race, but the absence of Kincaid, and possibly Coleman, could hinder their offensive efficiency. Buffalo will need to adapt and make adjustments as they aim to keep their momentum going without these key contributors.
The Bills will face a 6-6 Los Angeles Rams team on Sunday, with the game scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET in Los Angeles. Despite the injuries to Kincaid and potentially Coleman, the Bills (10-2) remain in a strong position for a playoff run. However, the Rams will present a tough challenge, and Buffalo will need to perform well, especially on offense, where the absence of two key pass catchers could create difficulties.
Injuries continue to affect many teams across the NFL heading into Week 14. Notable players like Chicago Bears running back D’Andre Swift and wide receiver DJ Moore are expected to play, while Las Vegas Raiders’ Jakobi Meyers is active despite an ankle injury. Miami Dolphins’ Raheem Mostert, however, will not play due to a hip issue. Other teams, such as the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers, also have key players dealing with injuries, highlighting the widespread impact injuries have as teams approach the final stretch of the season.
