Bills Kicker Injury: Season Over?
5 Jan
Summary
- Bills kicker Tyler Bass is out for the season due to a hip injury.
- The team's primary kicker, Prater, suffered a quadriceps injury.
- Buffalo may opt for two-point conversions with no backup kicker.
The Buffalo Bills' kicking situation has become dire following an injury to kicker Prater during Sunday's game against the Jets. Prater was sidelined for the rest of the game with a right quadriceps injury, an issue that had previously caused him to miss two prior games. This setback is particularly concerning as the Bills' primary kicker, Tyler Bass, is already on injured reserve for the rest of the season with a hip injury.
With both key kickers unavailable, the Bills are in a challenging position. Punter Mitch Wishnowsky will handle kickoffs, but the team is exploring options for point-after attempts. It is anticipated that Buffalo may opt for two-point conversions following touchdowns for the remainder of Sunday's game.
The team's lack of a backup kicker on the practice squad further complicates matters. Prater's injury also puts his availability in jeopardy for the upcoming wild-card round of the AFC playoffs, leaving the Bills scrambling for solutions as the postseason approaches.
