Bills Injury Report: Four Offensive Linemen Limited Ahead of Jets Game

The Buffalo Bills have 11 players listed on their Wednesday injury report as they begin preparations for Sunday's matchup against the New York Jets. While nobody missed the team's walkthrough, several key contributors are managing injuries, including four offensive linemen who were listed as limited participants.

Buffalo's first injury report of Week 10 includes six limited participants and five full participants. The team held a walkthrough on Wednesday, meaning the participation designations are estimates rather than the result of a full practice.

The biggest area to watch remains along the offensive line. Alec Anderson, Spencer Brown, Dion Dawkins, and Connor McGovern were all limited Wednesday. Anderson and Brown were listed with ankle injuries, Dawkins with a rib injury, and McGovern with a neck injury.

Dawkins and Anderson both missed Monday night's win over the Minnesota Vikings, making their progress particularly important as Buffalo prepares for its trip to New York. Brown and McGovern also appeared on the report, giving the Bills four offensive linemen to monitor heading into the weekend.

Christian Benford was also limited by a wrist injury. The cornerback dealt with the issue during Monday's game against Minnesota. It caused him to briefly leave the game, and his availability will be worth watching as the week progresses.

Tight end Dalton Kincaid rounded out the limited participants, appearing on the report with an ankle injury. Kincaid also briefly left Monday's game after appearing to roll his ankle but returned to finish the contest. It's also important to note that the chest injury he had been listed for in weeks past seems to no longer be an issue.

Despite concerns about the limited players, there was some positive news on the defensive side of the ball. Defensive tackle Greg Gaines was a full participant despite dealing with a calf injury that kept him out of the previous two games. Defensive lineman T.J. Sanders was also full with a shoulder injury.

Guard Ar'maj Reed-Adams was full with back and elbow injuries.

Finally, the Bills also have decisions approaching on two players working their way back from injury designations. Defensive back Jordan Hancock, who is returning from injured reserve, and wide receiver Tyrell Shavers, who is returning from the PUP list, were both full participants again on Wednesday. However, Buffalo has not yet made a decision on either player's roster status.

The situation is particularly pressing for Shavers. The Bills are two weeks into his 21-day practice window, meaning they will need to decide whether to activate him to the 53-man roster or take another course of action before the window closes.

Buffalo has two more practices scheduled before Sunday's divisional matchup at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Thursday's report should provide a better indication of where the players dealing with injuries stand as the Bills prepare for the Jets.
