The Buffalo Bills are navigating a challenging injury report as they prepare for their Week 12 matchup against the Houston Texans on Thursday Night Football. With only walkthrough practices scheduled over the past three days, the team’s ability to rebound will be put to the test as they look to kick off this crucial game.
Head coach Sean McDermott announced ahead of Wednesday’s walkthrough that tight end Dalton Kincaid, along with wide receivers Curtis Samuel and Mecole Hardman Jr., will not play against the Texans. Kincaid’s absence was anticipated following his hamstring injury sustained during the game against the Miami Dolphins. Meanwhile, both Samuel and Hardman, who recently joined the team, sustained injuries in last Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Given the limited preparation time, running backs Ty Johnson and Ray Davis will take over kickoff duties in place of the injured players. Fans should also watch for the possibility of return specialist Brandon Codrington being called up from the practice squad, adding depth to the team’s special teams.
Despite the injury challenges, the Bills remain focused and determined to deliver a strong performance under the lights on Thursday. This game presents an opportunity for depth players to shine and for the team to demonstrate resilience in the face of adversity. With a spirit of camaraderie and determination, the Bills are set to tackle the Texans and aim for a much-needed victory.
