Bills head coach Sean McDermott has ruled out TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), WR Curtis Samuel (elbow/neck) and WR Mecole Hardman Jr. (calf) for Thursday night's game against the Houston Texans. McDermott delivered the news on Wednesday morning on WGR550.
The three players did not participate in practice this week. The Bills held a walk-through practice on Monday and Tuesday.
When asked if there is any long term concern with Samuel and Hardman, McDermott said not at this time.
"We're week to week at this point," McDermott said of the two.
DT Phidarian Mathis (shoulder) did not practice on Monday but was limited for Tuesday and Wednesday's practices. Mathis is questionable for Thursday's game.
Buffalo had several players that were limited for Monday and Tuesday's practices but were upgraded to full participants for Wednesday:
CB Christian Benford (groin)
CB Taron Johnson (groin)
S Jordan Poyer (vet rest)
LB Terrel Bernard (ankle)
LB Dorian Williams (groin)
DE Joey Bosa (wrist)
DT DaQuan Jones (vet rest)
DT Jordan Phillips (wrist)
C Connor McGovern (ankle)
WR Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle)
WR Khalil Shakir missed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday's practices due to personal reasons.
