These are three players that were injured for most, if not all, of last season that can have an impact with the Buffalo Bills in 2020.

The Buffalo Bills were healthy for most of the 2019 season with only six players ending up on injured reserve. According to Buffalo News, the Bills finished the year with actually the fewest games lost by starters due to injury.

This is a testament to one of the best medical staffs in the NFL, combined with a little bit of luck. Every NFL team is going to be forced to deal with an injury or two over the course of the year but the good teams are able to minimize the impact on the team’s performance.

For the players though it can sometimes mean an uphill climb to get back to the position they were in. When they are forced to miss time, another player steps in and if they play well the starting job they had may not be there waiting for when they return.

While the Bills didn’t lose any key players for extended periods of time, there were three players that ended up on injured reserve that should have an impact on this team in 2020.
