The Buffalo Bills are all set to compete against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. On this Thursday Night Football, the Bills, coming in with a 4-3, will be at war with the Buccaneers, coming in with 3-3. Just before the game, both teams released their injury reports.

One such news is making headlines. The season is already hard enough, and now the Bills are set to suffer another blow. The star tight end Dawson Knox has been hitting the news due to his injury, which makes it even more difficult for the team to compete against John Allen’s men. The team is at a crucial stage, but this news has shaken the Bills’ fans and players.

Knox might not be seen on the field in their upcoming game

As Josh Allen’s team was all prepared for their next match, they got the news that wasn’t in their favor. In a recent update regarding the Bills’ roster, Knox is expected to be placed on Injured Reserve following a wrist injury, as reported by Ian Rapoport. This news comes shortly after the team announced Knox would undergo wrist surgery. The extent of his injury and the exact duration of his recovery are still not certain.

The Bills have been suffering from a slew of injuries this season. And now, Knox’s absence will undoubtedly be a substantial blow to their offensive lineup. The tight end has been known for his agility and reliable catching ability. He has definitely been an important component of the Bills’ offensive strategy. His placement on Injured Reserve will probably require adjustments and potentially put additional pressure on other players to step up in his stead.

As the Bills navigate this challenging period, the team and fans are hopeful of a swift recovery for Knox. Their opposition team is also not completely bereft of this problem. They also released their IR report recently.

Six players of the Buccaneers listed on IR

The Buccaneers have also released their injury report for Week 8’s showdown. The list shows six players with varying statuses. The RB Chase Edmonds, OL Matt Feiler, WR Chris Godwin, safety Kaevon Merriweather, QB Baker Mayfield, and DT Vita Vea all were listed on the IR.

Feiler and Merriweather did not participate in Wednesday’s practice and have been declared out for the upcoming matchup. Meanwhile, Mayfield and Godwin are expected to be seen in the next match. Vea’s status is still uncertain, as he was listed as questionable.

The team must make strategic adjustments to account for these absences and uncertainties as they face the Bills.
