Ray Davis Ray Davis No output in Week 3 win
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 8:01 PM
Davis played five snaps on offense and five snaps on special teams without showing up in the box score otherwise in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Davis' catch for no gain early in the fourth quarter was negated by a holding penalty by Alec Anderson. It appears Davis will not be a factor in the Bills' offensive gameplan this season, with Ty Johnson serving as the backup option in the backfield for James Cook. Davis should continue to see the field as a contributor on special teams, though he did not return a kickoff after doing so in each of the first two games of the regular season. |

Finishes suspension
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 7:40 PM
Mathis' three-game suspension has been lifted and the defensive tackle has returned to the Bills' active roster, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reported Monday.
Analysis: The Bills get a three-day roster exemption, giving the team until Thursday to reduce the roster to 53 players. Mathis played six regular-season games for the Bills in 2025, logging 13 tackles (four solo) over 119 defensive snaps. |

Tyler Bass Tyler Bass Makes all four kicks vs. Bolts
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 6:22 PM
Bass made his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 24-16 win over the Chargers.
Analysis: The Bills finally got on the scoreboard at the 6:02 mark of the second quarter on a 28-yard, chip-shot field goal by Bass, with the veteran kicker making each of his next three extra-point attempts. He's made all four of his field-goal attempts (all within 50 yards) and has gone 11-for-12 on extra-point tries through three regular-season games, and his scoring floor should be elevated week-to-week as long as Josh Allen is running the Bills' offense. Buffalo wraps up its three-game home stand in a Week 4 AFC East showdown against New England. |

Josh Allen Josh Allen Knee not viewed as concern
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 4:03 PM
Bills head coach Joe Brady downplayed any concern about Allen's health after the quarterback took a hit to his knee area during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 24-16 win over the Chargers, Alex Brasky of SI.com and Alec White of the team's official site report. "We're gonna have to see how [Allen] progresses these next couple days," Brady said. "Josh is always a little [sore] after the game."
Analysis: With just under 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, a Chargers defender appeared to plow into the side of Allen's left knee at the end of an eight-yard run, leaving the quarterback grimacing in pain afterward. Allen didn't end up missing any snaps and even handled a designed run later on during that same possession, but he was seen favoring the knee in the locker room after the game, per Chris Trapasso of BuffaloRumblings.com. Allen could receive some extra treatment over the next several days while he continues to manage the knee issue, but Brady offered no indication that the star quarterback is at any risk of sitting out next Sunday's game against the Patriots. |

Dalton Kincaid Dalton Kincaid Back down to earth Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 7:15 PM
Kincaid secured two of three targets for 38 yards and lost a fumble in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Kincaid finished third in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for the Bills and tied for the same slotting in targets, but the tight end's downturn in production compared to the first two weeks stood out. He had opened the season with a combined 12-125-1 line on 14 targets, but the Chargers appeared to key on slowing him down Sunday and also forced the ball from him at the end of a 24-yard catch late in the third quarter for his first lost fumble since his 2023 rookie campaign. Despite the relatively quiet performance, Kincaid should remain a key figure in the air attack during a Week 4 home matchup against the Patriots next Sunday. |

DJ Moore DJ Moore Paces pass catchers in return
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 6:02 PM
Moore brought in six of 10 targets for 67 yards in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: Making his return from an early Week 2 exit due to a shoulder injury, Moore jumped right back into the swing of things by leading the Bills in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran wideout has made an impact in both of his non-injury-shortened games with Josh Allen, producing an 11-167-1 line on 18 targets. Moore figures to continue commanding the majority of Allen's attention in a Week 4 home matchup against the Patriots next Sunday. |

Josh Allen Josh Allen Labors through Week 3 win
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 4:09 PM
Allen completed 16 of 26 passes for 204 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions and added eight carries for 22 yards and two touchdowns in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Allen salvaged his fantasy day with a pair of rushing touchdowns, which both came from one yard out in the second and fourth quarters. The do-it-all signal-caller couldn't get into a consistent rhythm through the air, however, as an aggressive and desperate Chargers defense sacked him four times and forced him into three turnovers overall. Fortunately for the Bills, only one of those miscues led to points by Los Angeles, and only a field goal at that. Allen did reestablish some chemistry with the returning DJ Moore, who he connected with for a team-high six completions and 67 yards on 10 targets. Allen will aim to get back to some efficiency as a passer in a Week 4 divisional home battle against the Patriots next Sunday. |

James Cook III James Cook III Another stellar effort in win
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 4:02 PM
Cook rushed 24 times for 154 yards and a touchdown and failed to bring in his only target in the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Although neither offense looked anywhere close to cohesive as a whole, Cook was a rare exception. The star running back delivered another dominant performance on the ground despite his day getting off on the wrong foot, as he lost a fumble on the first play from scrimmage and saw the Chargers parlay it into a touchdown. Cook's longest run of the day was a relatively modest 23 yards, meaning he consistently ripped off chunk gains against the Chargers defense. He also went in for his second touchdown of the season at a critical juncture in the fourth quarter, extending a 17-13 Bills lead at the time with a three-yard run. Cook has quickly amassed 346 rushing yards at 6.0 yards per carry over his first three games, affording him an abundance of momentum heading into a Week 4 divisional home showdown against the Patriots next Sunday. |

Won't return Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 2:51 PM
Benford (toe) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Benford left the game in the third quarter due to a toe injury, which is severe enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of Sunday's contest. Te'Cory Couch and Davison Igbinosun will continue to operate in elevated roles in Benford's absence. |

Exits game with toe injury
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 2:15 PM
Benford (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Benford went to the locker room after sustaining a toe injury in the third quarter, and he'll be evaluated by trainers to determine whether he can return to Sunday's contest. Davison Igbinosun and Te'Cory Couch are in line for more defensive snaps for as long as Benford is out of the game. |

Won't play against Bolts
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 11:40 AM
Reed-Adams (elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: An elbow injury limited Reed-Adams' practice participation all week, and he has not been given clearance by medical staff to play Sunday. The rookie seventh-rounder's next chance to suit up is Week 4 against the Patriots on Sunday, Oct. 4. |

Skyler Bell Skyler Bell Inactive again Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:58 AM
Bell (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: With Keon Coleman (ankle) and DJ Moore (shoulder) having been in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest, there was a chance Bell would be needed to suit up. However, Coleman and Moore are good to go, meaning Bell's next chance to get on the field will come in Week 4 for the AFC East clash with the Patriots. |

Keon Coleman Keon Coleman Suiting up Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:53 AM
Coleman (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: It was reported earlier Sunday that Coleman was expected to suit up for Week 3, and he will indeed do so. Coleman was considered a game-time call for Sunday's contest, so it's not clear if he will be at full speed. However, he -- as well as DJ Moore and the rest of Buffalo's regular pass catchers -- will all be in uniform for Week 3. |

Returning to action in Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:50 AM
Oliver (hip) is available for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
Analysis: Oliver didn't play in the Week 2 win over Detroit due to a hip injury. However, despite carrying a questionable tag for the Week 3 meeting with the Chargers, the veteran will be back on the field, likely resulting in less work for DeWayne Carter. |
|
DJ Moore DJ Moore Active for Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:44 AM
Moore (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: It was reported shortly before kickoff that Moore was expected to suit up Sunday, and he will indeed do so. It's unclear how close Moore is to 100 percent after sandwiching a couple limited practices around a Thursday 'DNP' on the injury report, so it remains to be seen if he will fill his usual role in Week 3. |

DJ Moore DJ Moore Expected to play Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 9:57 AM
Moore (shoulder) is in line to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: When Moore was listed as questionable for Week 3 action Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wide receiver would be a game-time decision. Moore had sandwiched limited sessions around an absence Thursday prior to those comments due to an AC joint sprain that he suffered in Week 2 against the Lions, but Schefter's report Sunday morning indicates that he'll avoid the Bills' inactive list about 90 minutes before a 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. |

Keon Coleman Keon Coleman On track to play Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 7:35 AM
Coleman (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to play, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After Coleman sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field as a limited participant Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wideout would be a game-time decision leading up to Sunday's contest. The third-year player has apparently made positive strides in his recovery from the ankle injury following Friday's practice, and barring a setback, he should be cleared to play ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Coleman has recorded seven receptions for 64 yards on seven targets through the Bills' first two games of the season, and he could be in store for more volume if fellow wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) -- whom Brady also termed as a game-time decision -- ends up sitting out Sunday. |

Placed on injured reserve
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 8:05 PM
The Bills placed Hancock (hamstring) on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: Hancock likely suffered his hamstring injury in the Bills' Week 2 win over the Lions. The issue appears to be significant, leading the team to move Hancock to IR. The defensive back will need to miss at least four games before becoming eligible to return to the Bills' active roster. The team signed Greg Dortch from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. |

Greg Dortch Greg Dortch Signed to active roster
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 7:33 PM
The Bills signed Dortch from the practice squad to the active roster Friday, Maddy Glabb reports.
Analysis: Dortch has expended two practice squad elevations for the Bills so far. The returner has played four offensive snaps and 18 special-teams snaps in the two contests, totaling 133 kick return yards and 46 punt return yards. With defensive back Jordan Hancock (hamstring) moving to IR, the team utilized the freshly opened spot to secure its primary returner a spot on the 53-man roster. |

Ruled out for Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 4:49 PM
Sanders (appendix) won't play in Sunday's game against the Chargers.
Analysis: Sanders underwent an appendectomy Tuesday, so it's unknown how long he will be off the field. With Ed Oliver (hip) questionable, Landon Jackson may be busier than usual. |
