Kickoff is almost upon us, as the Buffalo Bills face the New York Jets in Week 10. The roster is set, but there are a few things to go over before we get to the final inactives. Injury reports, practice squad callups, and more- It's all here as gametime approaches.
Injury Report
The Bills' injury report for Week 10 was almost half the size it was last week. Though there were a few scares as the week began, only five players need to be reviewed before kickoff.
The first is CB Christian Benford. He injured his wrist late in Week 9, but returned to the game. For Week 10, Buffalo's top cornerback was questionable.
Secondly, LT Spencer Brown was doubtful for today's game. He suffered an ankle injury against the Minnesota Vikings and it looked like that Tylan Grable was going to be taking his place.
DB Sam Franklin went down in practice with a shoulder injury and was questionable. He remained limited in practice, but was truly 50/50 to play.
Possibly returning to play off the injured reserve, both WR Tyrell Shavers and DB Jordan Hancock are questionable. Of the pair, only Hancock was raised to the active roster, leaving Shavers on the reserve for now.
Practice Squad Callups
The Bills brought up QB Shane Buechele from the practice squad, a sign of a healthy roster. Buechele won't be suiting up though, so fans won't be seeing him dressed in uniform.
Final inactives for gameday
The Buffalo Bills have released their final inactives list, per their PR account. The following players are OUT today vs. the Jets:
-QB Shane Buechele
-S Jalon Kilgore
-OLB Mike Danna
-G Ar'Maj Reed-Adams
-OT Jude Bowry
-DL Greg Gaines
Inactives Breakdown
As expected, Shane Buechele is a healthy scratch after his practice squad elevation. That courtesy gets him paid, likely for his work on the scout team in practice.
Spencer Brown is a surprising active, considering his doubtful injury status. Notorious for his toughness, the Bills will be very glad indeed to get their starting tackle for today's game. The Bills didn't have their whole left side of their line last week, but now they are at full health against a Jets' defensive line that is sneaky good, especially edge rusher David Bailey.
