ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills<\/a> will be without one of quarterback Josh Allen<\/a>‘s favorite targets against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> in tight end Dalton Kincaid<\/a>, who was ruled out by coach Sean McDermott on Friday.<\/p>\n

Kincaid suffered a right hamstring injury in the third quarter of the Bills’ Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins<\/a>. He did not return to the game.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s going to take everybody [to replace Kincaid],” McDermott said Wednesday. “I think Josh will help fill that void. Dalton’s going to be tough to replace in terms of that, but yeah, I mean, it’s going to take everybody to step up and make plays. It’s going to take Dawson [Knox]<\/a> and [Jackson] Hawes<\/a> stepping up and making plays, which I know they’re extremely capable of doing. I’ve got a lot of trust in both those guys.”<\/p>\n

Editor’s Picks<\/a><\/p>\n

There is optimism regarding wide receiver Khalil Shakir<\/a> playing amid ankle and rib injuries that kept him limited in Wednesday and Thursday’s practices and in a red noncontact jersey. He was in a normal practice jersey Friday.<\/p>\n

Kincaid, a third-year tight end, has already missed one game with an oblique injury in Week 6. He has 29 receptions for 448 yards and a team-high four receiving touchdowns.<\/p>\n

The Bills will also be without backup defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis<\/a> (shoulder) for Sunday’s home game (1 p.m. ET, CBS).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alaina GetzenbergNov 15, 2025, 04:46 AM CloseAlaina Getzenberg covers the Buffalo Bills for ESPN.
