Dalton Kincaid - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Limited to begin week of prep Kincaid was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to knee and calf injuries.

Impact Kincaid has been listed on Bills injury reports with the knee issue dating back to Week 16, but the calf injury may be the greater concern for the tight end as Saturday's divisional-round game versus the Broncos approaches. He was able to make an impact in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars this past weekend with three catches for 45 yards and a touchdown on five targets, but he was spotted in a walking boot following the game. While head coach Sean McDermott noted that Kincaid was donning the boot merely as a precaution, the 26-year-old will still likely need to put in a full practice by Thursday in order to avoid taking a designation into Saturday's matchup with Denver.

Impact McDermott said Kincaid "should be fine" for Saturday's upcoming divisional-round road matchup against the Broncos, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, but the third-year tight end's activity level at practice will be worth monitoring. Kincaid secured three of five targets for 28 yards and one touchdown versus Jacksonville, the sixth time across the 2025 campaign that he and quarterback Josh Allen have connected for a receiving score. The 28 offensive snaps Kincaid handled versus the Jaguars marks his largest workload since Week 5 of the regular season.

Finds end zone Sunday Kincaid caught three of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round Sunday.

Impact The third-year tight end connected with Josh Allen on a 15-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter, part of a wild sequence in which the two teams got into the end zone on four straight drives as they traded the lead back and forth. It was Kincaid's second score in six career playoff games, and his first score since Week 14 this season as he played sparingly down the stretch. Kincaid appears full healthy however, as the Bills await their opponent in the divisional round.

Clear for Sunday Kincaid (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's wild-card game in Jacksonville.

Impact Kincaid has been dealing with a knee injury from time to time since at least Week 14 prep, but he missed only one contest during that span, a Week 17 matchup with the Eagles. In the other four appearances since then, he combined for a 10-123-1 line on 13 targets. Kincaid followed up a limited walkthrough Wednesday and capped practice Thursday with all activity Friday, meaning he should be good for his typical share of snaps alongside fellow TE Dawson Knox.

4 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Impact Kincaid was listed as limited on Wednesday and Thursday's practice reports, as he continues to manage a knee issue. However, the tight end appears to be on track to be active versus Jacksonville barring any issues at Friday's practice, an outcome that would be cemented if he indeed heads into the weekend without an injury designation.

Another limited practice Kincaid (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Kincaid was also limited Wednesday, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that he won't be available for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars. Either way, Friday's final injury report is set to clarify whether the Bills' top tight end approaches the contest with an injury designation.

Set for limited practice Wednesday Kincaid (knee) will be listed as limited in practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Kincaid was limited at practice last week before being listed as questionable for the Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. The tight end suited up for the Bills' 35-8 win, en route to playing 10 snaps and catching all three of his targets for 48 yards in a game in which the team managed the workload of several key players. With no reported setbacks with the knee issue Kincaid has been managing, chances are his looming limitations Wednesday are maintenance-related.

Goes for 48 yards in easy win Kincaid caught all three of his targets for 48 yards in Buffalo's win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impact After missing Week 17 with a knee injury, Kincaid was able to log some reps despite the Bills resting most of their other key starters. With the team's lack of a true No. 1 wide receiver, Kincaid is going to have to play a pivotal role in the playoffs if Buffalo is going to make a postseason run. Kincaid posted a pair of 100-yard games during the regular season but was also held under 50 yards nine times.

Active for Sunday's game Kincaid (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Kincaid, who was inactive for the Bills' Week 17 loss to the Eagles, was limited at practice this week before being listed as questionable for the contest. Though Kincaid is in uniform versus the Jets, it remains to be seen how may snaps he'll see in the Bills' regular-season finale, with the team potentially managing the workload of some of its key players, with the postseason in mind.

Impact Per Glab, Kincaid, who was inactive Week 17, will log his third straight limited practice Friday. With that in mind, the tight end is no lock to be active for Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET contest. Even if Kincaid is in uniform versus the Jets, the Bills could elect to limit his snaps with an eye toward keeping him healthy/available for the team's postseason run.

Another limited practice Kincaid (knee) remainedlimited at practice Thursday.

Impact As did fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee), which gives the duo one more chance to work fully before the Bills assign injury designations ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. Kincaid was inactive in Week 17, and giving that he's still limited by his knee issue, it's plausible that the Bills could elect to err on the side of caution with him this weekend, will the NFL postseason looming.

JANUARY 1 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Kincaid (knee) was officially listed as a limited practice participant in Wednesday's walk-through.

Impact Kincaid missed Sunday's 13-12 loss to the Eagles after managing just one limited practice last week. It looks like he'll do more this week, but the Bills may lean toward caution now that they're locked into a wild-card spot.

To be limited in walk-through Kincaid (knee) will be listed as limited in Wednesday's walk-through, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The same goes for fellow TE Dawson Knox (knee). Kincaid was inactive for the Bills' 13-12 loss to the Eagles in Week 17, and at this stage it's plausible that the team could elect to err on the side of caution with their top tight end in Week 18, with Kincaid still managing his knee issue ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. Per Alec White of the team's official site, the Bills are currently the No. 7 playoff seed in the AFC and are still in play to be the No. 5 or No. 6 seed depending on how things transpire this weekend.
