Buffalo Rumblings
Who’s in and who’s out for a crucial AFC matchup
The Buffalo Bills and the Kansas City Chiefs are about 90 minutes away from kickoff, which means that the inactive players for both teams have become official. Each team had declared multiple players out, but for both squads, some of those players didn’t count against the inactive list.
For the Bills, linebacker Matt Milano was one of three players ruled out for this game by head coach Sean McDermott. Milano is on injured reserve, so he doesn’t count against the team’s active roster. Likewise, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid ruled out two players who are currently on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list (defensive end Charles Omenihu) and on injured reserve (running back Isiah Pacheco).
Which players have been declared inactive for today’s game? Here is the full list for both teams.
Coleman was among the trio declared out earlier this week. While that’s bad news, the good news is that wideout Amari Cooper, who has also missed time with a writst injury, is active today.
This one hurts, as Buffalo’s top tight end is out with a knee injury. Dawson Knox will start and Quintin Morris will see more time today.
This means that practice squad call-up Richard Gouraige will serve as the swing tackle, but it also means that Ryan Van Demark will make his first career start. Brown injured his ankle last week against the Indianapolis Colts.
Another day, another healthy scratch for the veteran, who remains the “break glass in case of emergency” player along the interior offensive line.
The rookie is a healthy scratch once again, as undrafted “Buffalo Joe” Andreessen remains the active special teams player on game days. Veteran Nicholas Morrow is also backing up starters Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams.
The former first-round pick is a healthy scratch today, as the Bills prioritize some offensive beef over the reserve outside corner. Ja’Marcus Ingram will be the first man up if something happens to either Christian Benford or Rasul Douglas.
Here are the inactive players for Kansas City:
