The Buffalo Bills have only three players questionable for Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs

The Buffalo Bills have had a lengthy injury report for most of the week but enter this weekend’s game with the Kansas City Chiefs rather healthy. They will enter Week 5 with only three players carrying injury designations with the most notable name being Matt Milano.

The Bills starting linebacker has been dealing with a hamstring injury suffered in last weekend’s game against the Houston Texans. He did not practice at all on Wednesday or Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday.

If Milano is able to play, this will be a big boost for this defense as he will likely be responsible for covering Travis Kelce, who is one of the best in the league. However, if Matt Milano does miss this week’s game it will be A.J. Klein who will replace him in the starting lineup.

Taiwan Jones, A.J. Epenesa also questionable for the Buffalo Bills

The other two players that were questionable for the Buffalo Bills in Week 5 were running back Taiwan Jones and defensive end A.J. Epenesa. The absence of Jones could be big for the Bills as he is a key part of their special teams but did follow a similar week to Milano where he didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday but was able to at least practice some on Friday.

As for Epenesa, he is dealing with a foot injury that appears to have happened during practice this week because he was added to the injury report on Thursday and was limited the final two practices of the week. If Epenesa is not able to play, this could create some extra snaps for Boogie Basham or Efe Obada in week where the Buffalo Bills want to get all the pass rush help they can.

Good news for Tre’Davious White and Jordan Poyer

The Buffalo Bills did get some good news in regards to their secondary as both Tre’Davious White and Jordan Poyer enter Sunday without an injury designation. Poyer has been dealing with an ankle injury that forced him to miss the Texans game and was limited on Wednesday and Thursday.

However, he was a full participant on Friday and should be all set to go without any limitations.

As for Tre’Davious White, he is dealing a shoulder injury and was limited every day this week. There doesn’t seem to be any concern about his availability since he wasn’t listed with an injury designation. The matchup between White and Tyreek Hill is one of marquee matchups on Sunday night that could play a major role in the outcome of the game.
