‘Kincaid joins the list of players who are out Sunday due to injuries. Keon Coleman had to sit out of the Colts game and in this upcoming one, Matt Milano is back in practice but will not play as well. Spencer Brown and Amari Cooper were also out of practice this week.’

Inside the Bills: How Mack Hollins has become indispensable to the wide receiver room
‘“ ‘Alone’ is the show I’d really want to go on,” Hollins said this week, referencing the History Channel show in which contestants compete to see who can survive the longest in wilderness locations with barely any equipment. “Survivor is like this gimmicky, game-show stuff. I just want to go in the woods and live there for 100 days. That’s more up my alley. I wouldn’t be able to survive currently because I just don’t have the skills, but like, that’s the dream. If I could just go somewhere for 100 days and sit there in the woods, sign me up.”’
PlayAction column: Chiefs' Travis Kelce is a Bills killer and enters Sunday on hot streak
‘Kelce has 32 catches in the past three games, the second-most ever by an NFL tight end over any three-game stretch, according to the NFL. Only Dallas’ Jason Witten, who had 33 in three games in 2012, had more.’
Bills LB Matt Milano's return to practice 13 weeks post-surgery makes sense, surgeon says
‘Milano, who was listed as a limited participant and wore a noncontact jersey, remains on injured reserve and the Bills opened his return-to-play window Monday. He will not play Sunday against Kansas City.’
Bills exec Pete Guelli: Stadium construction 'comfortably on schedule'
‘“If anything, we’re trying to get ahead of schedule, because we all know how Buffalo winters can be difficult to predict,” he said. “But right now, we’re on track for opening in 2026.”’
Jim Kubiak: Mistakes aside, this is the best Bills team of the Josh Allen era. Their last win is proof
‘Despite throwing two interceptions, Allen completed 22 of 37 attempts (59%) for 280 yards with no touchdowns passing. What he didn’t produce through the air, however, he more than made up for with cagey wits and ground output.’
Kansas City Chiefs lose clutch contributor for showdown vs. Buffalo Bills
‘On Thursday, it was reported that that Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker would be out of action for 3-4 weeks and could be heading to the injured reserve with a left knee injury. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Butker needs surgery to trim his meniscus in his left knee. Butker will be back for the end of the regular season and playoffs, but will miss a big AFC matchup on Sunday.’
Will Taylor Swift be at the Chiefs-Bills game this Sunday at Highmark Stadium?
‘Swift, who has been a frequent guest at Chiefs games this season in support of her boyfriend, tight end Travis Kelce, will be just a short flight away. She’s scheduled to perform in Toronto at Rogers Centre on November 14, 15, 16, 21, 22 and 23 as part of the final leg of her record-breaking “Eras Tour,” before heading to Vancouver for the last shows of the tour in early December.’
Milano's return, updates on Brown, Kincaid, Cooper, others from Thursday Bills practice
‘The most notable of which was the return of former All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano, who had his 21-day window to return from injured reserve earlier in the week. Milano (pectoral) wore a red non-contact jersey along with a brace/harness on his injured left pectoral underneath a long-sleeved undershirt during the portion of Thursday’s practice held while in view of the media. He seemingly participated fully during positional work, which included work with the sled and heavy tackling dummies.’
Josh Allen leading improved Bills passing attack over the last 5 games despite recent interceptions
‘But despite his interceptions and injuries to receivers Keon Coleman and Amari Cooper and tight end Dalton Kincaid, Allen’s production has increased the past five games. He’s averaging nearly 80 yards more per game, his completion percentage is up six points and his nine touchdown passes are one more than the first five outings.’
Amari Cooper hopeful to play against Chiefs, Bills receiver adjusting to catching with a cast
‘While the Bills have called him day-to-day since the injury, Cooper said he feels like he can play against the Kansas City Chiefs Sunday and it would provide a major boost. Bills coach Sean McDermott already ruled out receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) for Sunday and tight Dalton Kincaid (knee) did not practice for a second consecutive day.’
