Sean McDermott: Bye week injury updates for the Buffalo Bills roster

Here's the injury updates for the Bills as they go through their week off.

The Buffalo Bills are in the midst of their bye weekend off from action.

Doesn't it always feel like it comes at the right time? It was for the Bills (4-2) in 2025.

Buffalo limps into their bye both physically and mentally. The team is fresh off of two-straight losses.

What could heal both of those aspects is time off from football to heal some bumps and bruises. Prior to taking some time off, head coach Sean McDermott detailed some injury updates for players recently sidelined or who have missed an extended period during his last press conference before taking some time off himself.

Here's the full rundown on those updates:
