Bills Cut Michael Badgley as Matt Prater Tracks Toward Week 18 Return

Buffalo pivots following a blocked extra point that influenced Sunday’s one-point defeat.

Overview

  • Buffalo released Michael Badgley from the practice squad on December 29 after a two-game stint as the fill-in kicker.
  • Badgley made a 41-yard field goal but went 2-for-4 on extra points, including a Week 17 attempt blocked by Jalen Carter.
  • Sean McDermott said the team expects Matt Prater to kick against the Jets in Week 18, pending his work in practice.
  • Prater has missed the last two games with a right quadriceps injury after replacing Tyler Bass, who is out for the season following groin/hip surgery.
  • The Bills previously worked out multiple kickers and could reassess options this week if Prater’s practice participation is limited.
