One Out, Five Questionable for Buffalo Bills Against Vikings

Five players are questionable, and one is already ruled out for the Buffalo Bills heading into their Monday night game against the Minnesota Vikings.

The team held their last practice of the week on Saturday, and with it came the third, and final, injury report for the week. 

Like Friday's report, Saturday's was deep, with 22 players listed. A number of them, however, either fully participated or ended the week without an injury designation. It's a good sign for a team that needs as many healthy bodies as possible, as it looks to stay atop the AFC East and the AFC overall.

Starting with who's out this week, wide receiver Joshua Palmer, who left last week's game with a hamstring injury and missed every practice this week will not dress.

For the questionable players, the biggest names are on Buffalo's left side of the offensive line. Both starting left tackle Dion Dawkins (rib) and left guard Alec Anderson (ankle) both missed practices this week and have a 50/50 chance of playing. Greg Gaines, who suffered a calf injury last week in practice and missed the Ravens game was limited on Saturday, and is 50/50.

The other two names aren't technically on the 53-man roster yet. Defensive back Jordan Hancock had his 21-day window opened this week as he returns from a hamstring and wide receiver Tyrell Shavers is still on the PUP list with a knee. Should the Bills deem one or both ready to play this week, they will have to activate them to the roster and make corresponding moves such as releasing a player or placing someone on IR.

No decision on that has been made, though it should be expected to come by late Sunday/early Monday.

As mentioned, only six of the 22 listed players are either out or questionable. That means the rest head into the week without an injury designation.

Right tackle Spencer Brown, who missed Week 8 with a back issue, was a full participant Saturday after being limited the other two days. That makes it likely that, unless something flares up in the next two days, he'll return to the field.

Top offensive targets DJ Moore (shoulder) and Dalton Kincaid (chest) are also ready to go despite being limited and in red non-contact jerseys all week.

Other players on the report but expected to play include Keon Coleman, Bradley Cubb, Ty Johnson, Ed Oliver, TJ Parker, T.J. Sanders, and Deone Walker, among others.
