ATLANTA — The Buffalo Bills<\/a> will be down two key offensive pieces for Monday night’s game against the Atlanta Falcons<\/a> as tight end Dalton Kincaid<\/a> and wide receiver Curtis Samuel<\/a> were both ruled inactive.<\/p>\n

Both players had been questionable leading into the game. Kincaid (oblique) wore a non-contact jersey and was limited throughout the practice week. Samuel (neck\/ribs) was limited Thursday, did not participate Friday and then was limited again Saturday.<\/p>\n

Editor’s Picks<\/a><\/p>\n

Both players participated to an extent in pregame warmups Monday.<\/p>\n

Kincaid is a significant loss for the Bills offense. The third-year tight end is coming off the first 100-yard receiving game of his career in the loss to the New England Patriots<\/a> last week (six receptions, 108 yards) and has six-plus targets in three games this season. Fullback Reggie Gilliam<\/a> could see expanded snaps Monday filling in some at tight end.<\/p>\n

Samuel was a healthy scratch the first three games of the season and has three receptions on the season. He was in on kick returns the last two weeks, but returner Brandon Codrington<\/a> is back active against the Falcons.<\/p>\n

Linebacker Matt Milano<\/a> (pectoral), linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo<\/a> and offensive lineman Chase Lundt<\/a> are also inactive. The Bills elevated safety Jordan Poyer<\/a> and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips<\/a> from the practice squad for the game after safety Damar Hamlin<\/a> and defensive tackle T.J. Sanders<\/a> were placed on injured reserve this past week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alaina GetzenbergOct 14, 2025, 09:06 AM CloseAlaina Getzenberg covers the Buffalo Bills for ESPN.
