Jordan Poyer, Maxwell Hairston Out for Bills vs. Broncos Game
As the Buffalo Bills prepare for their divisional round game against the Denver Broncos, they will be without key players. Safety Jordan Poyer and cornerback Maxwell Hairston have both been ruled out due to injuries.
Player Injuries Impacting the Game
Head coach Sean McDermott announced on Thursday that Poyer is sidelined with a hamstring injury, while Hairston is dealing with an ankle issue. Their absence will certainly affect the Bills’ defensive strategy.
Ty Johnson’s Status Uncertain
Running back Ty Johnson’s availability for Saturday remains in question as he continues to recover from an ankle injury. He missed the wild card victory over the Jaguars. McDermott mentioned that Johnson will follow a similar approach as last week regarding his practice participation.
- Ty Johnson: Limited practice on Thursday, questionable for game
- Jordan Poyer: Ruled out with a hamstring injury
- Maxwell Hairston: Ruled out with an ankle injury
Additional Injury Updates
Other players facing injury concerns include Ed Oliver and Curtis Samuel. Oliver, who has a biceps injury, returned to practice but will be limited during Thursday’s session. Samuel, on the other hand, participated fully in practice after recovering from an elbow injury, which is promising for his game status.
- Ed Oliver: Questionable (biceps), limited participation
- Curtis Samuel: Questionable (elbow), full participation
Further Player Status
Safety Damar Hamlin is also listed as questionable with a pectoral injury. Along with linebacker Terrel Bernard, who is dealing with a calf issue, their game statuses will need close monitoring before Saturday’s match.
- Damar Hamlin: Questionable (pectoral)
- Terrel Bernard: Questionable (calf)
The Bills are facing a challenging game against the Broncos with multiple key players out or uncertain. Their ability to adjust to these changes will be crucial for a successful performance.
