This is the Week 4 injury report for the Buffalo Bills ahead of Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The injury report for the Buffalo Bills looks surprisingly good considering where it started earlier this week. However, one surprising name was defensive end Mario Addison who is listed as questionable for this week.

Addison had not appeared on the Buffalo Bills report prior to Friday but did not practice. The team listed him as questionable which certainly raises some questions about his availability for this game. If he is not able to play, this could mean more playing time for rookie A.J. Epenesa and possibly Darryl Johnson.

The good news is that only two other players received injury designations, which was linebacker Del’Shawn Phillips who is out, and rookie running back Zack Moss who is questionable. Since Moss was only able to practice on a limited basis and did miss last week’s game with the toe injury, it would be surprising if he was active for this game against the Raiders.

Earlier this week, players like John Brown, Dion Dawkins, Ed Oliver, Micah Hyde, Quinton Jefferson had all missed one practice either Wednesday or Thursday. However, the Buffalo Bills didn’t give them an injury designation and they will be all set to play on Sunday.

One player who looks set to return for this game is tight end Dawson Knox. The second-year player missed last week’s game due to a concussion, which he suffered in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins. Tyler Kroft did a good job filling in but Knox should return to his starting role in this offense.

The Buffalo Bills will announce their inactives on Sunday afternoon roughly an hour and a half prior to the 4:25 start time against the Las Vegas Raiders
