Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott has revealed some major injury update for the game against the Jets.
Buffalo Bills Gaining Health Ahead of Jets Game
The Buffalo Bills seem to be getting healthier at the perfect moment. With several injury concerns surrounding the team ahead of this week’s game against the New York Jets, there have been many questions about key players’ availability.
On Friday, head coach Sean McDermott provided a significant injury update on several players. As reported by Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, McDermott revealed that Damar Hamlin, Taylor Rapp, Cam Lewis, and Curtis Samuel will all practice in a limited capacity on Friday and are listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
However, McDermott confirmed that cornerback Rasul Douglas and linebacker Matt Milano are both fully cleared and expected to play.
Positive Injury Update for Buffalo Bills Ahead of Jets Game
Having both Rasul Douglas and Matt Milano available will be a huge boost for the Bills’ defense, especially with the challenge of facing Aaron Rodgers. While Rodgers may no longer be the MVP-caliber player he once was, he remains one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history and can still cause significant problems if the defense isn’t fully prepared.
The hope is that the other four players—Damar Hamlin, Taylor Rapp, Cam Lewis, and Curtis Samuel—will also be able to play. With just two games remaining before the playoffs, Buffalo will need all their key players on deck, and this update signals they might be heading in the right direction.
While the final status of Hamlin, Rapp, Lewis, and Samuel remains uncertain, their participation in practice is a good sign that they’re nearing full health. Even if some or all of them can’t suit up this week, their involvement in practice suggests they could return for the final regular-season game if necessary.
Overall, this injury update is a positive development for the Bills. While some questions still remain, those should be answered either tomorrow or by Sunday, helping to clear up the picture as the team prepares for the critical stretch run.
