The Buffalo Bills will need to play without 1 of QB’s Josh Allen’s favorite targets vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in TE Dalton Kincaid, who was ruled out today by manager Sean McDermott.
The Bills’ tight end sustained a right hamstring problem in the 3rd quarter of Buffalo’s Week 10 defeat against the Dolphins. Kincaid didn’t return to the match.
“For me, everyone must give something extra to replace Dalton,” McDermott shared a few days ago. “I believe that Allen will be able to fill that void. It is not easy to replace a player like Kincaid, but if everyone in the team steps up, I believe that we can handle his absence.”
There is a chance that WR Khalil Shakir can be on the field against Tampa Bay amid ankle and rib problems that kept him limited during training in the past 2 days. However, today, the wide receiver trained alongside his teammates.
