Monday Night Football just got a whole lot more interesting, as key players are sidelined, shaking up the Bills' lineup!
It's a tough night for Bills quarterback Josh Allen, who'll be missing two crucial offensive weapons. Tight end Dalton Kincaid, dealing with an oblique injury, and wide receiver Curtis Samuel, battling neck and rib issues, have both been declared inactive for the game against the Falcons. Both players were listed as questionable leading up to the game, making their absence a significant blow to the Bills' offensive strategy.
Kincaid's practice participation was limited throughout the week, while Samuel also faced restrictions. This absence is particularly felt as Kincaid leads the team with 287 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns on 24 catches. Samuel, though with fewer catches, has contributed with four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown.
But that's not all! The Bills will also be without linebacker Matt Milano, due to a pectoral injury, along with linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo and offensive lineman Chase Lundt. To bolster their roster, the Bills have called up safety Jordan Poyer and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips from the practice squad.
On the other side of the field, the Falcons are also facing their share of challenges. They'll be without wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring), wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III, cornerback Clark Phillips III (triceps/illness), running back Nathan Carter, cornerback Billy Bowman (knee/hamstring), defensive lineman LaCale London (triceps), and offensive lineman Jack Nelson.
This game is shaping up to be a battle of attrition. What impact do you think these absences will have on the game's outcome?
