UPDATE: The Buffalo Bills face a challenging matchup against the Cleveland Browns today at 1 p.m. EST as they aim to extend their win streak to four games. However, key players Keon Coleman and Gabe Davis have been listed as healthy scratches, raising eyebrows ahead of this critical game at Huntington Bank Stadium.
In a developing situation, the Bills have ruled out several players due to injuries. Notably, defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (ankle), kicker Matt Prater (right quad), and offensive tackle Chase Lundt (knee) will not participate. Lundt has been placed on injured reserve, effectively ending his rookie season.
Buffalo’s roster decisions are becoming increasingly complex as their health improves. With the return of Mecole Hardman from injured reserve, the team now has seven wide receivers available, but only five will suit up. The decisions to scratch Coleman and Davis indicate a strategic shift as the Bills prepare for the Browns.
While Buffalo gears up for this pivotal game, Cleveland comes in with a record of 3-11, looking to salvage pride despite their disappointing season. Star defensive end Myles Garrett is poised to make history, aiming to tie or break the NFL’s single-season sack record during this matchup.
In the short term, Michael Badgley will take over kicking duties for Prater. Badgley, who joined Buffalo’s practice squad earlier this week, has been elevated for today’s game alongside defensive end Andre Jones Jr.
For Bills fans, the stakes are high as they inch closer to playoff contention. The team is just one win away from securing a postseason berth, but the path is fraught with challenges, especially against a hungry Browns squad.
Here’s the complete list of inactive players for the Bills today:
– WR Keon Coleman
– WR Gabe Davis
– K Matt Prater
– DT Jordan Phillips
– S Darnell Savage
– OT Tylan Grable
– DT Larry Ogunjobi
Meanwhile, the Browns will be missing several key players, including tight end David Njoku (knee) and cornerback Denzel Ward (calf), which could impact their performance.
As the game unfolds, fans and analysts alike will be keeping a close eye on both teams’ strategies and individual performances. With so much on the line, the atmosphere in Cleveland promises to be electric.
