true but Douglas is playing as good if not better than Tre and Dodson has stepped up huge, he's no Milano but it isn't a massive talent gap as it was , he's been great. And Jones might be back for that game as well. 

Hyde as well but I like the aggressiveness of Rapp. 

Salute to this staff for overcoming major injuries and having the depth and making a great trade. Lot of teams wouldn't overcome this

Safety Kareem Jackson also being waived by broncos and they want to sign him to PS if he passes thru waivers. I recall bills having interest in the past.

Go Ravens !!!

[NewEra]

What sucks for them is good for us.  I ain’t sad.  It’s an ankle, he’ll live and his family will still have generational wealth when he’s done playing.  

[dma0034]

I'll say this again: Dolphins track record of playing injuried players is going to bite them in the *** one of these days. Last year it was Tua, this year they let Hill back in against Tenn and are now flirting with Waddle.

Will be back for the Bills game 

Maybe, but if even so he undoubtedly will be affected in his cuts and route running ability.

💯 

 

i hope he plays with a high ankle sprain tbh.  

[Carmel Corn]

IDK - feels like a smokescreen to me....he may be injured, but I am suspicious it is as bad as they say.  Maybe trying to throw opposing teams off from a game planning standpoint.  I don't trust the Fins to be honest with their statements.

All of these things seem to be going in our favor (except the dolphins winning). It seems very eerie to be on the right side of fate 

 

Hmmm... Maybe someone finally offed The Cigarette Smoking Man 🤔

 

 

One can hope, right?

No you have to suffer through the sanctimonious holier than tho virtue signalers stating how horrible it is to wish anyone gets hurt blah blah blah.

DaQuon will be suiting up for Miami, that's far more important than Waddle to the outcome of the game.   

 

Ed Oliver, Floyd and Rousseau are all we have left man.  Von is obviously a joke at this point, AJ n Philips hurt, we need DaQuon in the worst way if we're going to disrupt an offense like Miami. 

[Special K]

This guy is so fragile.....he seems to get hurt in one way or another every game.......maybe he's not cut out to play football, he should go play soccer with the rest of the weaklings and pansies.

good

We destroyed them with a fully healthy Hill, Waddle, Achane. I hope they full strength 

Bills aren’t at full strength either so it evens out

He was limping pretty bad when he came off the field Saturday.  I don't believe he returned.

Ankle sprains for WR are not good.  We'll see if he is practicing or not this week.

[frostbitmic]

I  never root for a player to get injured (I admit to wanting Brady to feel pain) however after the Bills injuries the past couple of years, I won't lose sleep over another teams injuries, The Bills have had more than their share.

 

I won't cry if the Ravens win this game and we face a Dolphins team with two flat front tires. (Waddle & Reek) week #18. The Bills have had two starters out since London.

 

GO BILLS !!!

GO RAVENS !!!

[Big Blitz]

Hill and Waddle will play.  But Hill ain’t close to 100% and Waddle will be in and out of the game.  
 

I know they want home field, if those 2 guys need a week to maybe have a shot against us you do not push them.  
 

Their worst case scenario Sunday is they play at home vs us week 18 for the division.  
 

If they’re the 2 seed they’ll probably get the Colts in RD 1.  That’s a bye.  Maybe the Texans I guess that could be an issue.  
 

 

I expect them to have everyone come week 18 but held together with duct tape.

That Pittsburgh @ Seattle game is looming large.

You expect him to just come off the couch and be dominant? Hey maybe... and isn't it a possibility we get AJ back this week? 

[Paul Costa]

If Daquan is going to play meaningful snaps vs Miami or the playoffs he probably needs to be activated and play 15-20 snaps this Sunday.

Going into the Baltimore game banged up is a nightmare for them. The Ravens are just as physical as the Niners. They will be hitting everything hard in a white jersey with the #1 seed on the line. The Dolphins could be in bad shape health wise when they face the Bills.

[BillsFan619]

Likely out vs Ravens

[extrahammer]

If it's high ankle sprain that's at least more than two weeks he'd miss right?

If he played for the Bills then yes. Miami, not a chance. Just ask tua how they handle injuries lol

[SoonerBillsFan]

I hope he is out till next offseason. Now I need to look for Tonya Harding's # and have her pay Hill a visit...

This is a very valid point. But it’s professional football in January. Everybody is banged up 😃

I won't have to watch that stupid Waddle end zone celebration again? Priceless.

which was worse, Ezekiel Elliot with the Cowboys eating at the trough or the waddle?

True but the Ravens and 49ers seem to be the most physical teams in the league. With the #1 seed in play, I expect Baltimore to come out very physical against Miami. They just don't tackle their opponents they seem to hit right thru them extremely hard.  I am surprised they don't get more unnecessary roughness calls against them the way the refs call games in today's game. Same with SF. 

[die hard bills fan]

No way he won't play against us.

[gordong]

after all the bills going down this year, dont give a crap about other teams, line up who you got and play.

High ankle sprain. He probably won't be healthy if he does play.

[SoCal Deek]

It used to be commonly accepted that a high ankle sprain was at the very least a month long recovery, especially for a WR. Nowadays it seems like these guys are back out there in a matter of hours. 

[dma0034]

Wasn't Tyreek Hill's injury a high ankle sprain and he only missed one game?

A google search on High Ankle Sprain:

 

How long does it take for a high ankle sprain to heal?

 

Recovery from a high ankle sprain, often caused in football when a player plants a foot on the ground before an extreme outward twist of the foot, can take 4-6 weeks. Severe high ankle sprains can take up to six months and might require surgery.

[WhitewalkerInPhilly]

I fully suspect that the terminally injured Dolphins players will be loaded up with every painkiller known to man for the Bills game. And while I would love to give the Bills every chance to win Week 18, it matters that the 'Phins lose to Ravens to give us a shot.

I think teams in general have become very loose with their reporting of ankle sprains. So many players coming back early from high ankle sprains makes me question if they really had a high ankle sprain. 

[The Wiz]

Ruled out officially.

 

 

[Big Blitz]

Bigger concern

 

 

They played Monday.  So it’s like a Thursday for them.  But not optimal.

I don't know if his injury is a HAS but besides missing a game he has been in and out of games regularly it seems...
