Impact Palmer was plagued by the injury for a good chunk of the 2025 season in and out of the lineup and ended up missing both of the team's playoff games, but he's feeling much better as prep for the new season gets underway. After posting a disappointing 22-303-0 line in his first campaign with the Bills, Palmer should be able to play more and do more in his next go-around. However, with DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid and James Cook all ahead of him in the pecking order, Palmer's upside is probably capped unless the Bills get struck with a number of injuries to their passing game.

Impact Palmer missed Buffalo's two postseason games last season after he was placed on IR due to an ankle injury. It appears he's not quite at 100 percent yet given his limitation to mostly side work Tuesday. However, there's no indication at this point that Palmer is at risk of not being ready for Week 1 of the upcoming regular season.

Moves to IR, season over The Bills placed Palmer (ankle) on injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Palmer was held out of all drills Wednesday through Friday due to an ankle injury before Buffalo ruled him out for Sunday's wild-card game at Jacksonville. Considering he's required to miss at least four contests while on IR, his 2025 campaign is over. Palmer will finish it with a 22-303-0 line on 37 targets in 12 regular-season appearances.

Won't play Sunday Palmer (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.

Impact Palmer was held out of practice all week due to an ankle injury, which is severe enough for the veteran wideout to be sidelined for the Bills' playoff opener. With Palmer sidelined, Cameron Wolfe reports that Keon Coleman -- who was a healthy inactive in four of the Bills' final eight games of the regular season -- is expected to be active against Jacksonville. Brandin Cooks and Tyrrell Shavers are also in line for more snaps on offense in Palmer's absence.

JANUARY 10 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Palmer (ankle) won't practice Friday and will be listed as questionable for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Palmer will thus finish the week with three consecutive 'DNPs,' which clouds the wideout's status for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. In 12 contests during the regular season, Palmer put up a 22/303/0 receiving line on 37 targets, a rate of production that limited his fantasy lineup viability to deeper formats.

Not seen at practice Thursday Palmer (ankle) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

Impact With Palmer having been deemed a 'DNP' in Wednesday's walk-through, the wideout now has one more opportunity to practice before the Bills assign injury designations for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars. Palmer recorded an 84 percent snap share in the team's Week 18 win over the Jets, but at this stage it's unclear if the wideout is dealing with a setback related to the ankle injury that he previously dealt with in Weeks 13-15, or if his current issue is something new.

JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with ankle injury Palmer (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Palmer missed Weeks 13 and 14 with an ankle injury, but up until Wednesday he'd been a full practice participant ever since returning to action Week 15. It's possible this is a new issue, and there's no assurance of a significant role in the playoffs even if Palmer's injury turns out to be minor. Buffalo's depth chart has been fluid apart from Khalil Shakir's role in the slot, but Brandin Cooks and Tyrell Shavers have contributed more than Palmer of late. Gabe Davis and Keon Coleman are the other candidates for WR snaps this Sunday at Jacksonville.

JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE

Just one catch in Week 18 win Palmer caught one pass (on three targets) for one yard during the Bills' 35-8 win over the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Palmer played a season-high 63 snaps on offense during Sunday's win, but he had just one catch to show for it. The 2025 season looked promising for the fifth-year wideout after posting five catches (on nine targets) for 61 yards during the Bills' Week 1 win over the Ravens, but those numbers ended up being a season high for Palmer. The Bills hit the road for their AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars this Sunday, when Palmer figures to be a depth option in the passing game behind Khalil Shakir, Brandin Cooks, James Cook and Dalton Kincaid.
