Buffalo, N.Y. (WGR 550) - As the Buffalo Bills get ready to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday in a prime-time matchup at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, the team will be without three players, including two tight ends.
During his appearance on WGR on Wednesday, head coach Sean McDermott announced that tight ends Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris will not be available for the Bills on Thursday night due to injury. Knox underwent surgery to repair his wrist on Tuesday, while Morris is dealing with an ankle injury going back to the team's Sunday night win over the New York Giants in Week 6. McDermott did not provide any sort of timetable for Knox's return to the Buffalo lineup.
In addition, McDermott says linebacker Baylon Spector will not play on Thursday night due to a hamstring injury suffered this past Sunday against the New England Patriots.
Other than those three injuries, just one player is designated as "questionable" for Thursday's game. Defensive tackle Ed Oliver has been limited at practice with a toe injury, and missed this past Sunday's loss in New England with that injury.
Meanwhile, Tampa Bay has officially ruled guard Matt Feiler and safety Kaevon Merriweather out for Thursday's game with the Bills. In addition, quarterback Baker Mayfield, wide receiver Chris Godwin and defensive tackle Vita Vea are all listed as questionable.
Thursday's kickoff in Orchard Park is slated for 8:15 p.m. ET.
