Bills Place K Tyler Bass on IR, Elevate Matt Prater for Week 1 vs. Ravens

Buffalo turns to the 41-year-old record holder after a hip/groin setback leaves its starter out at least four games.

Overview

  • The Bills elevated Matt Prater from the practice squad to handle kicks Sunday night against Baltimore, per multiple reports.
  • Tyler Bass went to injured reserve with a left hip/groin issue linked to earlier pelvic trouble, sidelining him for a minimum of four games.
  • Practice-squad elevation rules cap Prater at three temporary call-ups, potentially forcing a move to the 53-man roster if the stint extends.
  • Buffalo also placed rookie defensive tackle DeWayne Carter on IR after an Achilles tear suffered in practice last week.
  • The Ravens ruled out tight end Isaiah Likely and fullback Patrick Ricard, leaving Mark Andrews and Charlie Kolar as their available tight ends for the opener.
