Lamar Jackson is back at practice for the Baltimore Ravens, and he plans to play this weekend against the Buffalo Bills after missing the last three games with a high ankle sprain. Jackson has been dealing with that high ankle sprain for the past month, so his return marks a huge shift for what’s about to go down on the field.
Spencer Brown’s Back Still Busted, Kincaid’s Injury Story Continues
The bye week was supposed to be a reset button for the Bills, but for some guys, it just wasn’t enough. Spencer Brown is still not practicing, battling that back injury. Remember when he said it was just some soreness, a tweak from a long flight? He even rested through Week 6 to be ready for the Raiders game, and now three weeks later, he’s *still* sore and still resting. That’s a massive concern for the offensive line.
It’s not just Brown. Dalton Kincaid, the tight end, is limited with a chest injury, and honestly, this is becoming a pattern. This is his fourth NFL season, and we’re still waiting for him to get through a full year without missing time. He played 16 games as a rookie, but then missed four and five games in the next two years, respectively. That’s a tough trend to watch. On the defensive side, Dee Alford’s ankle hasn’t healed up, and Bradley Chubb, who already has a thumb issue, added a chest injury to his list after noticeably missing snaps in Week 6. That’s a lot of key guys not at full speed.
Tyrell Shavers Set to Return, Other Key Players Getting Healthy
Alright, let’s talk about some good news for the Bills: Tyrell Shavers. The wide receiver had ACL surgery way back in late January, and now they’ve opened his 21-day practice window! He’s got until the week before Thanksgiving to get back on the roster, which is a big boost for the offense.
And get this, DJ Moore and Ed Oliver are limited in practice, not totally out. Yeah, it would be awesome if a week off healed them completely, but realistically, these guys might be on the injury list all year. So, limited is a definite win to start the week. Guard Ar’maj Reed-Adams is back to full practice after dealing with a back and elbow issue, which is huge for depth. Plus, Christian Benford, Terrel Bernard, Keon Coleman, Landon Jackson, and Josh Palmer are all off the injury list completely. C.J. Gardner Johnson is also off, but he’s serving a one-week suspension from an on-field altercation in Las Vegas, so while his injury status isn’t confirmed as totally gone, that extra week off certainly won’t hurt.
So, the Bills are rolling into a monster game this weekend against the Baltimore Ravens. They’ve got some guys working their way back, but that D-line and secondary are gonna need to be absolutely locked in. Why? Because Lamar Jackson, fresh off missing three games, is planning to suit up. The bye week gave some much-needed rest, but the real test for Buffalo’s playoff hopes is coming fast.
