Kincaid secured four of seven targets for 53 yards in the Bills' 48-42 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis
Making his return from a three-game absence due to a knee injury, Kincaid finished third in receptions and receiving yards while sharing the team lead in targets. Kincaid's yardage tally was actually a new season high, and he's posted a trio of four-reception efforts in his last four games dating back to Week 8.
Kincaid (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Lions.
Analysis
Kincaid, who has missed the Bills' last three games, was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice estimate, as well as Friday's session. With Kincaid deemed available versus Detroit, the tight end should step back into a key role in Buffalo's passing game in Week 15, barring any limitations or in-game setbacks. Prior to sustaining his knee injury, Kincaid had recorded a 34/356/2 receiving line on 59 targets over the course of 10 games.
Head coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Kincaid (knee) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis
Kincaid, who has missed the Bills' last three games, was listed as a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice estimate, and he'll work Friday in some capacity. If he's available versus Detroit, the tight end likely would step back into a key role in Buffalo's passing game. However, given his looming questionable designation, confirmation of Kincaid's Week 15 status won't arrive until inactives are posted ahead of Buffalo's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Knee
Kincaid (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through practice.
Analysis
The decision to list Kincaid as a full participant -- even in a low-intensity practice -- suggests he's expected to return from a three-game absence for Sunday's game in Detroit. He'll likely be back in his regular role as the starting tight end and top pass catcher at the position, but it might come with fewer targets than he saw earlier this season. The Bills' wideout group has come on strong recently and will get Keon Coleman back from a wrist injury that has kept him out for the past four games.
Kincaid (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis
Kincaid, who last played in Week 10, was deemed questionable for the contest after practicing in limited fashion Wednesday through Friday. With the 2023 first-rounder sidelined once again Sunday, Dawson Knox is on track to continue see added opportunities as the Bills' top pass-catching tight end option, while Zach Davidson is on hand to provide depth at the position in Week 14.
Injury Status
Status: INACTIVE
Type: Knee
Kincaid (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams, is not expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis
Kincaid, who last played Week 10, was able practice all week but on a limited basis. He apparently didn't demonstrate enough progress in his recovery from the knee injury to get the green light to play, though his status won't be confirmed until the Bills release their inactive list 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Dawson Knox looks primed to serve as the Bills' top tight end in Kincaid's stead.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Knee
Kincaid (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Rams.
Analysis
Kincaid made an early exit Week 10 at Indianapolis due to a knee injury and wasn't able to practice until this week, when he strung together three consecutive limited sessions. He thus has a chance to end his absence at two games, something that'll be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Kincaid is inhibited or inactive this weekend, Dawson Knox again would handle most of the TE reps for the Bills.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Knee
Kincaid (knee) was limited at practice Thursday.
Analysis
Kincaid, who last suited up for game action in Week 10, was also deemed limited in Wednesday's walk-through. With that in mind, the tight end will likely have to practice fully Friday in order to approach Sunday's game against the Rams without an injury designation. If Kincaid remains out this weekend, however, Dawson Knox would be in line to continue seeing added opportunities as the Bills' top pass-catching TE option.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Knee
Head coach Sean McDermott said that Kincaid (knee) will be listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's walk-through session, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis
Kincaid, who last saw game action Week 10, didn't practice last week, so his limited listing is a step in the right direction. The tight end will have two more opportunities to upgrade to full practice participation ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. If Kincaid remains out for a third straight game, however, Dawson Knox would be in line to see added opportunities as the Bills' top tight end.
