Bills Handed Another Major Injury Loss Before Chiefs Week 11 Matchup
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid sustained a knee injury in the first quarter of their Week 10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Although Kincaid returned to the game in the third quarter, he only took two snaps before leaving again.
That certainly wasn't a positive sign for Kincaid or the Bills. However, waiting to see what a player's week of practice looks like after an injury is always telling.
Kincaid did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday because of his knee injury. Being a non-participant during the first two days of practice typically isn't a good sign for a player playing on Sunday.
According to ESPN Bills beat reporter Alaina Getzenberg, head coach Sean McDermott ruled Kincaid out of Sunday's game on a radio show before Friday's practice.
Bills coach Sean McDermott said on @WGR550 that tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) has been ruled OUT vs. the Chiefs.

RT Spencer Brown (ankle) and WR Amari Cooper (wrist) will be listed as questionable for the game and limited in practice.
Even though Friday's practice has yet to happen, Kincaid's being ruled out is no surprise. His not being available Sunday is a huge loss for the Bills.
Through ten games, Kincaid has 34 catches on 59 targets for 356 yards and two touchdowns. While Kincaid's stats aren't spectacular, he is one of Josh Allen's major targets. Losing him means the Bills will have to rely more on Dawson Knox and other backup tight ends.
This bodes well for the Chiefs because Knox isn't as dynamic of a tight end as Kincaid. This leaves the Chiefs with less to fear in the passing game, especially if Amari Cooper ends up being ruled out at game time.
If that happens, the Chiefs will have a great opportunity to beat the Bills in the regular season.
