Overview
- Head coach Sean McDermott said Matt Prater, who has a quadriceps injury, will not play against the Browns in Week 16.
- Tyler Bass recently underwent season-ending surgery for a left hip/groin issue, leaving Buffalo without a rostered kicker.
- Buffalo is expected to work out available specialists and sign a kicker in the coming days to handle field goals and extra points.
- Prater has been a steady performer this season, converting 18 of 20 field goals and 43 of 46 extra points.
- McDermott offered no multi-week timeline for Prater, and his early-week scratch has raised concern he could miss additional games during the Bills’ playoff and AFC East push.
