Bills Place K Tyler Bass on IR as Matt Prater Lines Up for Week 1

The move follows weeks of hip and groin trouble that limited Bass through camp and preseason.

Overview

  • Bass will miss at least the first four games under NFL injured reserve rules after the team’s Friday designation.
  • Buffalo signed 18-year veteran Matt Prater to the practice squad on Thursday, and he is expected to handle kicks against the Ravens pending elevation.
  • Prater, 41, is returning from a 2024 meniscus tear and owns the NFL record for field goals of 50 yards or longer.
  • The Bills had carried rookie Caden Davis in August and hosted veteran tryouts before choosing the experienced option with Prater.
  • Buffalo also signed defensive back Sam Franklin and placed defensive tackle DeWayne Carter on IR, while cornerback Tre'Davious White is listed as doubtful for Sunday.
