Ray Davis
Ray Davis Two big plays in Week 5 win
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 9:57 PM
Davis caught his lone target for 31 yards while adding two carries for two yards and three kickoff returns for 114 yards during the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday.
Analysis: Davis opened Monday's contest in style with a 70-yard return on the opening kickoff that set the Bills up deep in Rams territory, though the Rams defense forced a three-and-out and Buffalo had to settle for a 49-yard field goal. Davis made another big contribution early in the fourth quarter, when he turned a screen pass into a 31-yard gain before being tackled just short of the goal line, which led to a one-yard touchdown run by Josh Allen on the next play. Davis has been limited mostly to work on special teams while mixing in occasionally in the back field. That said, Davis and Ty Johnson could both be in the mix for more offensive touches, given that head coach Joe Brady said Tuesday that "...at some point there has to be consequences" in reference to James Cook's fumble issues this season, per Nick Suss of ESPN.com. The Bills will stay on the road for Week 6 against the Raiders on Oct. 18.
Back with Buffalo
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 9:21 PM
Danna re-signed with the Bills on Tuesday.
Analysis: Danna was released by Buffalo on Monday, but he will now return to the team after one day as a free agent. The 28-year-old has appeared in one contest with the team this season, failing to record any stats while logging eight defensive snaps and a one snap with the special-teams unit in Week 2 versus Detroit.
Ty Johnson
Ty Johnson Big day as receiver in Week 5 OT win
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 7:28 PM
Johnson caught all four of his targets for 72 yards during the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday.
Analysis: Johnson played only 14 of the Bills' 64 offensive snaps (21.9 percent) and didn't log a single carry. However, the veteran running back made his snaps count as a receiver, rumbling for 40 yards on his first catch midway through the second quarter that led to a 17-yard touchdown run by James Cook on the very next play. Johnson added three more catches in the second half -- including a 26-yard grab -- and finished second on the Bills in receiving yards behind Khalil Shakir (80). Johnson will continue to operate as the Bills' change-of-pace back heading into Week 7 against the Raiders.
Keon Coleman
Keon Coleman Catches TD pass in MNF victory
Tue, Oct 13, 2026, 6:25 PM
Coleman caught a seven-yard touchdown pass (on two targets) during the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday.
Analysis: It was a statistically quiet night for Coleman despite the fact that DJ Moore (shoulder) was inactive, although it's worth noting that Josh Allen attempted only 19 passes (12 completions) during Monday's overtime win. Coleman's first target was late in the second quarter and essentially an arm punt by Allen, with the ball intercepted by Jaylen Watson at midfield. Coleman's catches of 17 and seven yards in the third quarter were both negated by offensive penalties, but the third-year pro was wide open on a seven-yard touchdown pass after two Rams defensive backs collided with each other. Coleman's 45 offensive snaps led all Bills wide receivers, and he has a 15-224-2 receiving line on 18 targets through five regular-season games. The Bills will stay on the road for Week 7 against the Raiders on Sunday, and Coleman's role on offense would shrink if Moore is cleared to return for that contest.
James Cook III
James Cook III Stellar night nearly ruined by fumble
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 11:15 PM
Cook rushed 10 times for 121 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for seven yards in the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday night. He also committed two fumbles, losing one.
Analysis: Cook put together another highly efficient night that saw him gain significant chunks of yards on multiple carries, and which featured his fifth rushing touchdown of the season on a 17-yard run in the latter portion of the second quarter. However, Cook dodged what would have been a major blemish on his night -- a lost fumble at the Rams' 20-yard line in overtime -- when Josh Allen subsequently mounted a successful game-winning drive following a blocked field goal by Buffalo's special teams. Cook will take 532 rushing yards and an average of 5.6 yards per carry into a Week 6 road matchup against the Raiders on Sunday.
Done for night
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 9:54 PM
Brown (back) has been ruled out for the remainder of Monday night's game versus the Rams.
Analysis: Brown sustained a back injury early in the contest, and his night has now officially come to a premature end. Tylan Grable will continue to operate as the team's starting right tackle in Brown's place.
Dealing with back issue
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 8:21 PM
Brown (back) is questionable to return to Monday night's contest against the Rams.
Analysis: Brown suffered a back injury in the first half of the contest, and his status for the remainder of the game is now uncertain. In his absence, Tylan Grable has taken over at right tackle versus Los Angeles.
Inactive for Monday Night Football
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 5:56 PM
Jackson (knee) is inactive against the Rams on Monday.
Analysis: Jackson was initially listed as questionable due to a knee injury, which is severe enough for the second-year pro to miss his first game of the regular season. Greg Gaines and DeWayne Carter are in line for more rotational reps on the Bills' defensive line due to Jackson's absence.
Won't play MNF
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 5:55 PM
Alford (ankle) is inactive for Monday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Alford drew the questionable tag for Monday night's game after logging a limited practice Saturday, but he'll end up missing his first game of the season due to an ankle injury that he sustained against the Patriots in Week 4. Damar Hamlin should see some more defensive snaps at the slot corner position in Alford's absence.
DJ Moore
DJ Moore Inactive in Week 5
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 5:49 PM
Moore (shoulder) is listed as inactive Monday at the Rams.
Analysis: After suffering a shoulder injury in Week 4, Moore wasn't expected to be tending to a long-term issue, and head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News on Thursday that the wide receiver was "going to be able to do everything he can to be able to rock this week." Moore then managed just one limited session (Saturday) during Week 5 prep, which wasn't enough for him to gain clearance to play Monday. With both Moore and Joshua Palmer (shoulder) unavailable, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Greg Dortch, Skyler Bell and Trent Sherfield will handle WR reps for the Bills.
Trent Sherfield
Trent Sherfield Elevated for Week 5
Mon, Oct 12, 2026, 3:59 PM
The Bills elevated Sherfield from the practice squad ahead of Monday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Sherfield will give Buffalo an extra body at receiver with Joshua Palmer (shoulder) ruled out and DJ Moore (shoulder) listed as questionable for the Week 5 contest. If he's active Monday, Sherfield would likely be in line for limited snaps on offense and would instead see most of his playing time on special teams.
Still expected to contribute defensively
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 10:11 PM
Even with Christian Benford (toe) back from injury, Igbinosun is still expected to have a role in the Bills' secondary for Monday's game against the Rams, Nick Suss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Igbinosun made his first career start against the Patriots in Week 4 due to the absence of Benford, and the former finished with five tackles (three solo) and one pass defense while playing every single defensive snap. Benford and Maxwell Hairston will serve as Buffalo's starting outside cornerbacks Monday, but head coach Joe Brady is committed to having Igbinosun on the field on defense. The Bills' secondary will have their hands full against the lethal wideout duo of Puka Nacua and Davante Adams.
Questionable for Week 5
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 9:38 PM
Jackson (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Jackson's practice reps were limited due to a knee injury, and his status for Monday's game may not be officially known until the Bills announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Ed Oliver (knee) has already been ruled out, so DeWayne Carter and Greg Gaines would both be in line for even more defensive snaps if Jackson is not cleared to play.
Cleared to play Monday
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 2:17 PM
Benford (toe) does not carry an injury designation into Monday night's game against the Rams, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Benford has been given the green light to return from a one-game absence due to a toe injury that he sustained during the Bills' Week 3 win over the Chargers. He'll resume his starting spot at outside cornerback, and while rookie first-rounder Maxwell Hairston will start opposite Benford, rookie second-rounder Davison Igbinosun will also be involved in the Bills' secondary, per Nick Suss of ESPN.com.
Iffy for MNF
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 2:14 PM
Alford (ankle) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Alford sustained an ankle injury during the Bills' Week 4 loss to the Patriots. He was a DNP in each of the first two practices of Week 5 prep, but he earned the questionable tag after getting back to the field for Saturday's session. Damar Hamlin would likely operate as the Bills' slot cornerback if Alford is unable to play Monday.
Ruled out for MNF
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 1:55 PM
Oliver (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Monday's game against the Rams, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The veteran defensive lineman will miss his second game of the season, this time due to a knee injury that he picked up during the Bills' Week 4 loss to the Patriots. DeWayne Carter and Greg Gaines should both see more defensive snaps in the absence of Oliver, whose next chance to play is Week 6 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Skyler Bell
Skyler Bell NFL debut on tap
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 1:14 PM
Bell will make his NFL regular-season debut against the Rams on Monday due to the absence of Joshua Palmer (shoulder), Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bell has been a healthy scratch for each of the Bills' first four games of the regular season. However, he's expected to absorb Palmer's reps during Monday's game, and Bell could take on an even larger role if DJ Moore (shoulder) is also ruled out. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and tight end Dalton Kincaid figure to be Josh Allen's go-to pass catchers if Moore cannot play, but Bell will at least be in the mix for targets in his NFL debut.
DJ Moore
DJ Moore Questionable for Week 5
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 1:05 PM
Moore (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Rams, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Moore was able to participate in Saturday's practice in a limited capacity after being sidelined for the first two sessions of Week 5 prep, and that's enough for the veteran wide receiver to draw the questionable tag for Monday night's contest. Joshua Palmer (shoulder) has already been ruled out, so if Moore is also sidelined, then Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman would operate as the top wide receivers for Buffalo.
Joshua Palmer
Joshua Palmer Won't play in Week 5
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 1:00 PM
Palmer (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Palmer popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited participant due to a shoulder issue, which appears to be severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. With DJ Moore (shoulder) listed as questionable, the Bills' top pass catching options could be Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid, and rookie Skyler Bell is expected to make his NFL debut after being a healthy scratch in each of the first four games of the regular season, per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Palmer's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 18.
DJ Moore
DJ Moore Spotted at practice Saturday
Sat, Oct 10, 2026, 11:58 AM
Moore (shoulder) was on the field for the start of Saturday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Moore was a non-participant in each of the Bills' first two practices of the week, so it's a positive sign for him to be on the field for Saturday's session. The Bills' injury report following practice will provide clarity on Moore's status for Monday night's road game against the Rams, and if the veteran wide receiver cannot play, then Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman would serve as Buffalo's top wide receivers, with tight end Dalton Kincaid also in the mix for more targets from quarterback Josh Allen.
