Bills Expect Matt Prater to Kick in Wild Card After Full Practice

Buffalo has practice-squad cover from Matthew Wright following Prater's recent quad flare-up.

Overview

  • Prater was a full participant in Thursday’s session after sitting out Wednesday, per the team’s official injury report.
  • The veteran kicker is expected to be available Sunday at Jacksonville in the AFC Wild Card matchup.
  • Prater left the Week 18 finale with a quad issue that he described as precautionary after coach Sean McDermott labeled him day-to-day.
  • The Bills signed Matthew Wright to the practice squad as insurance, though he is unlikely to be active if Prater is cleared, creating potential in-game risk if a setback occurs.
  • Prater has made 18 of 20 field goals this season after replacing injured Tyler Bass, and Buffalo released fill-in Michael Badgley following his two-game stint in Weeks 16 and 17.
