Joey Bosa, James Cook, Others Injured; Miss Buffalo Bills Practice
The Buffalo Bills are facing injury challenges as they prepare for their Week 10 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Head Coach Sean McDermott provided updates on several players who were either absent or limited during Wednesday’s practice.
Injury Report Highlights
Key players missing from practice include:
- Joey Bosa (Wrist)
- James Cook (Ankle)
- A.J. Epenesa (Injury unknown)
- Taron Johnson (Groin)
- DaQuan Jones (Calf)
- Shaq Thompson (Hamstring)
Additionally, wide receiver Joshua Palmer (Ankle/Knee) and linebacker Terrel Bernard (Ankle) were limited participants in practice. Bosa, Cook, and Epenesa sustained their injuries during the previous week’s victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnson, Jones, and Thompson missed that game, while Palmer was also sidelined due to an injury.
Season Challenges
The injury report is concerning for the Bills, who are already without significant contributors on Injured Reserve. Notably, defensive tackle Ed Oliver is sidelined with a biceps injury, and edge rusher Michael Hoecht will miss the entire season due to an Achilles injury. Oliver’s return during the postseason is uncertain.
Furthermore, the Bills did not make any trades before the NFL deadline, leaving them with limited depth at crucial positions as they head into a critical divisional game.
The Bills will face the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at 1 p.m. Current doubts surround the availability of Bosa, Cook, and others for this matchup, adding pressure as they fight for playoff positioning.
