Experts Predict Bills vs. Bengals Outcome Amid Crucial Kincaid Status Update
The Buffalo Bills and Cincinnati Bengals are gearing up for a pivotal AFC matchup this Sunday. The game is scheduled for kickoff at 1:00 p.m. ET at Highmark Stadium.
Dalton Kincaid’s Status a Key Factor
A major focal point leading up to the game has been the condition of Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid. He has missed the last three games due to a hamstring injury and recently encountered a knee issue. Despite these setbacks, Kincaid participated in limited practices this week and is officially listed as questionable for the game.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Kincaid is determined to try and play, but his final status will be confirmed after his pregame routine. His return might be significant as the Bengals’ defense has shown vulnerabilities against tight ends this season.
