The Buffalo Bills will be without three offensive players against the Houston Texans.
Heading into Week 12 NFL action, the Buffalo Bills are still one of the best teams in the AFC. Despite a couple of bumps in the road, the Bills are 7-3 and are still a team to watch in the Super Bowl conversation.
Granted, there are some reasons to be concerned about Buffalo. There have been plenty of weaknesses seen on both sides of the football. However, there is still time for the Bills to figure things out and start firing on all cylinders.
On Thursday Night Football this week, Buffalo will face off against the Houston Texans on the road. So far this season, the Texans have mustered up a 5-5 record.
ESPN currently has the Bills favored to win the game, giving them a 52.3 percent chance of coming out with a victory.
With that being said, Buffalo will be without three offensive players against Houston.
As shared by the Bills in their latest injury report on X, three players have been ruled out. Those three players are wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr., tight end Dalton Kincaid, and wide receiver Curtis Samuel. All three players will miss action this week.
Kincaid is obviously the biggest loss for Buffalo. He has caught 29 passes for 448 yards and four scores this season in eight games. In addition, he has become a top-tier security blanket and favorite target for Allen.
Add in the news that Keon Coleman might be benched again this week due to his actions by showing up late to team meetings, and the Bills' offense could be relatively thin against Houston.
Only time will tell how Buffalo can perform with so many offensive players being out. Allen will have his work cut out for him going up against a Texans team that has started showing more signs of life.
Hopefully, the Bills are up to the challenge. They will need big performances from Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, Dawson Knox, Tyrell Shavers, Khalil Shakir, and Gabe Davis. Those players are more than capable of carrying the burden.
Buffalo is scheduled to kick off against Houston at 8:15 p.m. ET on Thursday night and the game can be watched on Prime Video.
