The Buffalo Bills are heading into their final three games of the season, all in the division, with a laundry list of player on the injury report.
While no players have been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, that doesn't mean nobody will be missing. As head coach Sean McDermott has shown this season, questionable truly does mean questionable.
The good news? Multiple players are off the injury report and are good to go — tackle Spencer Brown, defensive tackle DeWayne Carter, wide receiver Amari Cooper, tight end Dalton Kincaid, tight end Quintin Morris, and defensive end Dawuane Smoot all are not carrying a game status designation into the weekend.
The not so good news, a few key members of the defense are listed as questionable and are in jeopardy of not suiting up. Most notably, the linebacker position, which was thin during last week's victory over the Detroit Lions, looks thin against this weekend. Matt Milano and his backup Dorian Williams are both questionable, with neither of them getting in any full practices this week, as is Baylon Spector.
It's not just the linebackers. Both starting safeties, Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp, are questionable to go, as is cornerback Rasul Douglas.
For the Bills, they have the benefit of going up against one of the worst offenses in the NFL, at least on paper. Perhaps it comes at just the right time, allowing several defensive players to rest and recover for the upcoming playoff run.
