Overview

  • Coach Sean McDermott ruled tight end Dalton Kincaid out with a right hamstring injury and defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis out with a shoulder issue for Week 11.
  • Buffalo signed wide receiver Mecole Hardman to the 53-man roster and elevated wideout Gabe Davis from the practice squad ahead of kickoff.
  • Rookie defensive tackle T.J. Sanders was activated from injured reserve and practice-squad tight end Keleki Latu was elevated, with returner Brandon Codrington released.
  • Wide receiver Keon Coleman was made inactive by a coach's decision on game day, as reported by Jordan Schultz and confirmed in subsequent reports.
  • Hardman is expected to handle return duties while McDermott said replacing Kincaid will require multiple contributors, citing Dawson Knox and Jackson Hawes, with optimism that Khalil Shakir will play.
