Buffalo defenders Hyde, Epenesa out against Cowboys

The Buffalo Bills must play without 2 crucial defensive players when the franchise welcomes the Dallas Cowboys at the end of the weekend as manager Sean McDermott ruled out safety Micah Hyde and DE AJ Epenesa.

Epenesa sustained his rib problem in the Bills’ victory against the Kansas City Chiefs a week ago and went out of the match after tipping a pass and then catching it for a pick on Kansas City’s 1^st drive in the clash. Hyde missed almost all last campaign after a neck procedure, and issues surrounding that injury have been reoccurring since the beginning of the new campaign.

“I do, but I’m not sure anymore. I don’t have any specific info based on that,” McDermott shared when asked whether injured reserve is possible for either of them. “I think we’re just continuing to take it day-by-day, and then when I have confirmed information from the medical staff, then I will know what we will do, but it’s a flexible situation at the moment.”
