Bills Cut K Michael Badgley as Bills Expect Matt Prater Back for Week 18

McDermott signaled confidence in Matt Prater’s quad recovery pending practice evaluation.

Overview

  • The Bills announced Monday they released Michael Badgley from the practice squad after two games as the fill-in kicker.
  • A first-touchdown extra point was blocked by Philadelphia’s Jalen Carter, and Sean McDermott said that earlier kick influenced the late decision to go for two instead of a tying PAT.
  • McDermott said Matt Prater is moving in the right direction and should kick this week against the Jets, contingent on how he practices.
  • Tyler Bass is out for the season after surgery on a left groin/hip injury, creating the prolonged vacancy at kicker.
  • Buffalo previously worked out Younghoe Koo, Maddux Trujillo and Gavin Stewart and could revisit outside options if Prater is not cleared.
