Injury Updates Shape Preparations
The Bills have listed several starters as questionable for their game against the Ravens. Receiver DJ Moore is dealing with a shoulder issue, right tackle Spencer Brown has a back problem, and nickel Dee Alford is managing an ankle injury. Brown missed all practice sessions during the week, while Alford sat out Thursday and Friday workouts. Moore took part in every session but wore a non-contact jersey throughout.
Nickel Spot Faces Complications
Alford's status adds layers of planning because safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson will miss the game due to a one-game suspension. Earlier this season the team used safety Damar Hamlin in Alford's role during an injury absence. With the suspension in place, options at nickel include shifting outside cornerback Christian Benford inside or moving other cornerbacks such as Maxwell Hairston into the slot when needed. Ravens receiver Zay Flowers often lines up in the slot on more than half his snaps.
Further Questionable Designations
Tight end Dalton Kincaid and defensive lineman Greg Gaines were also listed as questionable. Kincaid practiced in a non-contact jersey, while Gaines suffered an injury during Friday's session. The team has experience rotating personnel in various alignments throughout the season and will rely on those options depending on availability.
