Expect Hamlin to start alongside Taylor Rapp as part of Buffalo's top safety duo Sunday.

Returning for Week 18 Hamlin (ribs) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

Impact The 26-year-old safety from Pittsburgh has missed Buffalo's last three games due to back and ribs injuries, but it now appears that he'll return for the team's regular-season finale Sunday. Although the Bills have already clinched the AFC's No. 2 seed and are resting some of their starters, head coach Sean McDermott clarified that Hamlin will play "some" of the Week 18 contest, likely sitting out after receiving extra in-game reps, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com.

Gets in limited practice Hamlin (ribs) was a limited participant at the Bills' walk-through practice Wednesday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Hamlin has missed Buffalo's last three contests due to back and ribs injuries, but it now appears he's nearing a return to action. If he can manage a full practice Thursday or Friday, he could avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Won't play against Jets Hamlin (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Hamlin was a limited participant in practice all week, but he will be sidelined for a third straight game due to a rib injury he picked up in the lead up to the Bills' Week 15 game against the Lions. With Lewis Cine (coach's decision) also inactive for Sunday's AFC East clash, Cole Bishop will serve as the Bills' starting free safety alongside strong safety Taylor Rapp due to Hamlin's injury.

DECEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 17 Hamlin (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.

Impact Hamlin got in a round of limited practices this week and appears to be on track to return after a two-game absence due to back and ribs issues. He has started all 13 games he's appeared in this season, logging 83 tackles (58 solo) and five pass breakups, including a pair of interceptions.

Listed as inactive Hamlin (ribs) will not play in Sunday's tilt against the Patriots.

Impact Hamlin's absence will mark his second straight. He sat out last week due to a back injury, but he will now sit out with a rib issue. When healthy, the fourth-year safety has established himself as a regular starter on the defense. In his absence, and with Taylor Rapp (neck) also sidelined, Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop are the only healthy safeties going into the game, though the Bills have players that can serve in a hybrid role if needed.

The fourth-year safety has only missed one game this campaign, establishing himself as a regular starter for Buffalo's defense. He's now logged 83 tackles (58 solo), two interceptions and one fumble recovery across 13 games this campaign.

Out Sunday Hamlin (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions.

Impact The starting safety practiced in full Wednesday before missing Thursday's session. Hamlin has 83 tackles (58 solo), five pass breakups, including two interceptions, and a fumble recovery on the year. With Hamlin and Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder) both out, Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop are the next men up at safety for the Bills on Sunday.

DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 15 Hamlin (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus Detroit.

Impact Additionally, fellow starting safety Taylor Rapp (neck/shoulder) is also questionable, and starting CB Rasul Douglas (knee) was ruled out. Hamlin picked up the back injury in the middle of the practice week, downgrading from a full practice Wednesday to DNP on Thursday. Cole Bishop and Micah Hyde are next up for snaps at safety.

DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Downgrades to DNP on Thursday Hamlin (back) did not participate in Thursday's walkthrough practice.

Impact Hamlin was listed as a full participant in practice Wednesday, so his lack of activity Thursday could represent either a setback relating to his back injury, or simply a veteran day of rest. Friday's practice report will be telling as to Hamlin's chances of suiting up for Sunday's key road matchup against Detroit.
