InjuryReport12.19

Bills head coach Sean McDermott ruled out defensive tackle Jordan Phillips (ankle) and kicker Matt Prater (right quad) for Sunday's game against the Browns earlier this week.

On Friday, McDermott added rookie offensive tackle Chase Lundt (knee) to the list of players who will not play on Sunday.

Buffalo's head coach also said defensive back Cam Lewis (hamstring) will not practice on Friday.

"We'll see how he does the rest of the day today and tomorrow," McDermott said of Lewis.

Defensive tackle DaQuan Jones (calf) and cornerback Taron Johnson (quad) will have veteran rest days on Friday.

McDermott said punter Mitch Wishnowsky is dealing with a knee injury and they will see how he does on Friday and Saturday. Wishnowsky was a limited participant for Thursday's practice.

Left tackle Dion Dawkins (illness) and tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Dawkins was back in the building on Friday and is expected to practice.

McDermott said Kincaid's knee injury is not new and that the team is trying to manage his practice reps. McDermott added that he doesn't feel like the injury will impact his status for Week 16 but did not want to commit anything, calling Kincaid's status "day-to-day".

"It's something he's been managing pretty much all season and a little bit going back to last year as well," McDermott said.

Cornerback Christian Benford, who missed last week's game against the Patriots with a toe injury, was a limited participant for Wednesday and Thursday's practices. McDermott said Benford will be a full participant for Friday's practice.

"I think he's improved. He really has," McDermott said. "It's good to have him trending in the right direction and we'll see where it goes today."

Wide receiver Mecole Hardman (calf) had his practice window opened this week to return from Injured Reserve. McDermott said there's a chance he plays Sunday.

"We'll see how it goes today and see how he feels tomorrow," McDermott said. "So there's a chance. We will see how it goes."
