Dalton Kincaid, Matt Milano, Terrel Bernard Uncertain for Week 8 Against Panthers
The Buffalo Bills are facing uncertainty as they prepare for their Week 8 game against the Carolina Panthers. A few key players are listed as questionable, adding to the team’s challenges.
Injury Updates
Head coach Sean McDermott provided updates on several injured players during a press conference. Notably, tight end Dalton Kincaid is a significant concern. He is recuperating from an oblique injury that caused him to miss the previous game against the Atlanta Falcons. Kincaid leads the Bills with 287 receiving yards and three touchdowns this season.
Questionable Players
- Dalton Kincaid (Tight End) – Oblique injury
- Matt Milano (Linebacker) – Pectoral injury
- Terrel Bernard (Linebacker) – Ankle injury
Both Milano and Bernard have been limited in practice this week, casting doubt on their availability for the Panthers game.
Players Confirmed Off Injury Report
Receiver Curtis Samuel has been cleared from the injury report and is expected to play. This comes as a relief to the team as they prepare for the matchup.
Players Ruled Out
- Taylor Rapp (Safety) – Knee injury, placed on injured reserve
- DaQuan Jones (Defensive Tackle) – Calf injury
- Joshua Palmer (Receiver) – Knee/ankle injuries
Potential Returns
Cornerback Maxwell Hairston, a notable absence due to a knee injury, may return. McDermott noted that a decision on his status will be made closer to game time. Hairston, selected as the No. 30 overall pick in this year’s draft, has yet to make his professional debut.
As the Bills navigate their injury challenges, their performance against the Panthers will be crucial. This game could significantly impact their season outlook.
