The Buffalo Bills and the New York Jets are set to do battle in just about 90 minutes, which means that each team has made their respective inactive lists official. Although Buffalo did not rule any players out after Friday’s practice, they did list a key player as doubtful for the matchup. The Jets, on the other hand, listed one player as out for the game, and a slew of others as questionable.
Here are the inactive players for both squads in this key AFC East contest. _____________________________________________________________________________
QB Shane Buechele
With neither Josh Allen nor Kyle Allen appearing on the injury report this week, elevating Buechele from the practice squad seemed a tad strange. However, Buffalo has been known to do this with their veteran practice squad players, as the game-day elevation also comes with a game-day check. Buechele earns more money this week to do the same thing he usually does on Sundays. Not a bad gig for the veteran quarterback.
T Jude Bowry
Despite being listed as doubtful for the game, right tackle Spencer Brown is active, so he’ll start. Tylan Grable, who started for Brown at right tackle two weeks ago and for Dion Dawkins at left tackle last week, will be active as the swing tackle. Dawkins is back in the lineup today, so the odd man out is Bowry.
G Ar’Maj Reed-Adams
The rookie is a healthy scratch this week, returning to the bench after suiting up last week in place of Alec Anderson, who was out with an ankle injury. Austin Corbett returns to the bench with Anderson back in the starting lineup.
DL Greg Gaines
The big fella is a healthy scratch this week, as Buffalo’s defensive line is back to full health.
OLB Mike Danna
Another week, another healthy scratch for the veteran edge rusher.
S Jalon Kilgore
Newcomer Amani Hooker is active, as is Jordan Hancock, who has spent the last month on injured reserve.
