Buffalo Bills wide receiver Josh Palmer injured his hamstring on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens. We knew it was probably going to be a multi-week injury pretty soon after the game, and the Bills made it official Monday placing Palmer on injured reserve. He could be back after Thanksgiving.
The Bills elevated Trent Sherfield for Monday night’s game and Skyler Bell is in line to see more snaps, as well.
The Bills can still trade Palmer ahead of the 2026 NFL Trade Deadline if they find a partner.
The NFL changed the rules about trading players on injured reserve in 2018. A move like that would clear a not insignificant chunk of cap space for them to make another move.
Palmer has four catches for 117 yards and two touchdowns in 2026. He played 12 games in 2025, catching 22 passes for 303 yards.
A pretty expensive miss for the Bills and Brandon Beane to this point.
