JOSHUA PALMER NEWS

Doubtful for Week 14 Coach Sean McDermott said Palmer (knee/ankle) won't practice Friday and is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Palmer is poised to miss a second contest in a row due to knee and ankle injuries after not practicing in any capacity during Week 14 prep. His looming absence will allow the likes of Gabe Davis, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks to see targets alongside top WR Khalil Shakir.

Still not practicing Palmer (knee/ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Palmer also logged a 'DNP' in Wednesday's walk-through, which gives him one more chance to practice before the Bills assign game statuses for Sunday's game against the Bengals. If Palmer remains sidelined this weekend, Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Keon Coleman,Tyrell Shavers and Brandin Cooks would continue to handle Buffalo's WR duties versus Cincinnati.

Not in line to practice Wednesday Palmer (ankle) won't practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Palmer was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Steelers and his looming absence from Wednesday's practice clouds his status for this weekend's game against the Bengals. In his absence versus the Steelers, Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Keon Coleman and Tyrell Shavers led Buffalo's WR corps, with newcomer Brandin Cooks mixing in.

Inactive versus Pittsburgh Palmer (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Impact After logging a limited practice Wednesday, Palmer was a 'DNP' a day later, before returning to limited session Friday and being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest.

Questionable for Sunday Palmer (ankle) will be limited at practice Friday and listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact After being deemed limited Wednesday, Palmer logged a 'DNP' a day later, with the wideout's return to a limited session Friday offering hope that he could be available this weekend. Palmer -- who recorded a 50 percent snap share in Week 12 -- has caught two passes in each of his last five contests -- a pace that limits his fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Misses Thursday's practice Palmer (ankle) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Palmer was limited Wednesday, so his downgrade in participation a day later clouds his Week 13 status. Friday's final injury report will clarify whether the wideout -- who has caught two passes in each of his last five games -- heads into the weekend with a chance to face the Steelers on Sunday.

Logs limited practice Wednesday Palmer (ankle) was limited at Wednesday's practice,

Impact While logging a 50 percent snap share in this past Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans, Palmer -- who managed knee and ankle issues ahead of Week 12 action -- caught two of his four targets for 21 yards. With no reported setbacks, his Wednesday limitation could be maintenance-related. The wideout has caught two passes in each of his last five contests, a pace that has limited his fantasy value to deeper formats.

Two catches in Thursday's loss Palmer caught two of four targets for 21 yards in Thursday's 23-19 loss to the Texans.

Impact Palmer played exactly half of Buffalo's 66 snaps on offense, behind Khalil Shakir (67 percent) and Gabe Davis (55 percent) but ahead of Elijah Moore (41 percent) and Tyrell Shavers (39 percent) while Keon Coleman (coach's decision) was inactive for a second consecutive game. Palmer and Shakir linked up for a drive-extending lateral to convert fourth-and-27 on Buffalo's final possession, as Palmer caught an 11-yard pass and found Shakir in-stride behind him for an additional 33-yard gain. Josh Allen was picked off four plays later as the Bills dropped to 7-4 ahead of a Week 13 trip to Pittsburgh.

Ready to face Texans Palmer (knee/ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice and does not carry an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Texans.

Impact Palmer was limited due to knee and ankle injuries Monday and Tuesday, but he'll be available Thursday to potentially take advantage of absences elsewhere in Buffalo's receiving corps. Top tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) will not suit up on the road versus Houston, while depth wideouts Curtis Samuel (elbow/neck) and Mecole Hardman (calf) will also be unavailable. Palmer returned to action from a three-game absence Week 11 versus Tampa Bay, securing two of five targets for 17 yards.

Remains limited Tuesday Palmer (knee/ankle) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice.

Impact Palmer has been listed as limited on both of the Bills' first two Week 12 injury report, but the team hasn't provided an indication that he experienced a setback in his recovery from the knee or ankle issue after he returned from a three-game absence to play 27 snaps in this past Sunday's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers. The veteran wideout is likely just getting some extra maintenance on a short week, and the expectation is that he'll be available for Thursday's game against the Texans.

NOVEMBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Will be limited Monday Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Palmer (undisclosed) will be limited in practice, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

Impact Palmer appears to have emerged from Buffalo's 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday, in which he caught two of five targets for 17 yards, at less than full health. Monday's official practice report will reveal the nature of his injury. The Bills are hosting a walkthrough session Monday, so the extent of Palmer's on-field activity Tuesday and Wednesday figures to be more telling as to his odds of gaining clearance in time to suit up on the road against Houston on Thursday.

NOVEMBER 17 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet day in return to lineup Palmer caught two of five targets for 17 yards in the Bills' 44-32 win over the Bucs on Sunday.

Impact It was Palmer's first action since Week 6, as he dealt with knee and ankle injuries. He played just 50 percent of the offensive snaps against Tampa Bay, the same amount as Curtis Samuel, as the duo played behind both Khalil Shakir (54 percent) and Tyrell Shavers (54 percent) in a wide-receiver rotation that also included Gabe Davis and Mecole Hardman. In a Buffalo offense that spreads the ball around to 10 players most weeks, it's impossible to trust any of the receivers behind Shakir as fantasy starters.

Active Sunday Palmer (knee/ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact In his first game action since Week 6, Palmer -- who practiced fully this past week -- should have an opportunity to make his mark versus Tampa Bay, with fellow WR Keon Coleman (healthy scratch, second on the Bills with 49 targets) and TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring, third on the team with 36 targets) both inactive. Prior to being sidelined, Palmer put up a 14/234/0 receiving line on 20 targets in six outings.

Set to practice fully Wednesday Palmer (knee/ankle) is in line to practice fully Wednesday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Palmer last saw game action in Week 6, but his looming return to full participation puts him on the right track ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If he is indeed able to return this weekend, Palmer would bolster a Buffalo passing attack that may be without TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring), who won't practice Wednesday. Meanwhile, fellow WR Khalil Shakir is managing a rib issue that will limit him to begin the week.

Inactive versus Miami Palmer (knee/ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Impact Palmer, who last saw game action in Week 6, was a limited practice participant this week before being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. In his continued absence, Tyrell Shavers, Curtis Samuel and Elijah Moore are next in line for Buffalo's WR snaps behind Keon Coleman and Khalil Shakir. Palmer will target a potential return to action Nov. 16 against the Buccaneers.

Questionable to face Dolphins Palmer (knee/ankle) will be listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, head coach Sean McDermott said Friday, Bills radio broadcaster Chris Brown reports.

Impact Palmer was limited in practice both Wednesday and Thursday, and it doesn't sound like that will change Friday. If he gains clearance to suit up Sunday, it would be Palmer's first game action since Week 6.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Remains limited Thursday Palmer (knee/ankle) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Palmer has put together consecutive limited practices as he looks to take the field for the first since Week 6 in Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He has 14 catches for 234 yards in six appearances this season and is still searching for his first touchdown as a member of the Bills.
