Joshua Palmer - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Headed to injured reserve Palmer (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Monday, Joe Buscaglia of the Athletic reports.

Impact In Palmer's absence, DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman will lead the Bills WR corps Monday night against the Vikings, with Greg Dortch, Skyler Bell and Trent Sherfield available in reserve. The earliest that Palmer can return to the mix is Dec. 6 against the Patriots.

Won't play in Week 9 Palmer (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game in Minnesota, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Palmer exited last Sunday's win against the Ravens in the first half and wasn't able to return due to a hamstring injury. After not practicing Thursday or Friday, the Bills opted to keep him on the sidelines in Week 9, meaning Greg Dortch and/or Skyler Bell may see WR reps behind the team's top trio at the position.

DNP on Thursday Palmer (hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

Impact The veteran wideout was injured in Sunday's win over the Ravens and was unable to return to the contest. If he's unable to play Monday night against the Vikings, Skyler Bell and Greg Dortch could see additional work on offense.

Won't return Sunday Palmer (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Impact DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Greg Dortch are thus available to handle Buffalo's wideout duties for the remainder of the contest. Palmer's next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 9 against the Vikings.

Leaves Sunday's game Palmer exited Sunday's game against the Ravens after sustaining a hamstring injury.

Impact Palmer didn't haul in his only target Sunday before his departure from the contest. While he's sidelined, DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Greg Dortch will handle Buffalo's wideout duties versus Baltimore.

Hauls in 37-yard pass in return Palmer caught one of two targets for 37 yards during Buffalo's 33-30 win over Las Vegas on Sunday.

Impact Palmer was cleared to return from a one-game absence due to a shoulder injury, and his 17 offensive snaps were last among the Bills' active wide receivers with DJ Moore (shoulder) sidelined. Palmer connected with Josh Allen on a 37-yard pass late in the first quarter to move the Bills into opposing territory, leading to a 28-yard field goal by Tyler Bass nine plays later. Three of Palmer's four catches this season have gone for 30-plus yards, but he isn't a featured part of the Bills' offense and will see his role decrease once Moore is cleared to return. Buffalo is on a bye for Week 7 and will return to action for Week 8 against Baltimore on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Ready for Week 6 Palmer (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Palmer was ruled out ahead of the Bills' Week 5 victory over the Rams due to a shoulder injury. The wide receiver has recovered enough from the injury to suit up for a Week 6 matchup with the Raiders, where the Bills will be without No. 1 option DJ Moore (shoulder) once again. Palmer is set to be the No. 3 wide receiver behind Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman in Sunday's game.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Palmer (shoulder) and DJ Moore (shoulder) are listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Las Vegas, Sam Warren of The Athletic reports.

Impact Both wideouts missed Monday's win over the Rams, in which each of Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir and Skyler Bell topped 60 percent route share, though many of those routes were on plays that ended up being Josh Allen scrambles. Bell likely will lose the most playing time if Moore and/or Palmer returns this week.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Logs limited practice Thursday Palmer (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday.

Impact Palmer was sidelined in Week 5 against the Rams because of a shoulder injury he picked up during practice, and now his status for Week 6 is in jeopardy. He'll probably have to manage a full practice Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend, and with DJ Moore tending to an AC joint sprain, Palmer's availability for Sunday's game at Las Vegas will garner extra attention from fantasy managers.

Considered limited Wednesday Palmer (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at the Bills' walkthrough practice Wednesday.

Impact Palmer suffered a shoulder injury at practice and was ultimately unavailable for the team's Week 5 win over the Rams on Monday Night Football. Although the team didn't officially practice, the wide receiver's limited participation is a positive sign. Palmer will have two more chances to officially practice in full prior to Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.

Won't play in Week 5 Palmer (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Palmer popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited participant due to a shoulder issue, which appears to be severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. With DJ Moore (shoulder) listed as questionable, the Bills' top pass catching options could be Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid, and rookie Skyler Bell is expected to make his NFL debut after being a healthy scratch in each of the first four games of the regular season, per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Palmer's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Finds end zone again Palmer caught one of three targets for 43 yards with a touchdown in Thursday's 41-31 win over the Lions.

Impact Palmer didn't score at all last season in his first campaign with the Bills, but he's now found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. He's hauled in just one pass in each of the first two games, but he could see more looks if DJ Moore's shoulder injury puts him on the shelf for a stint. Palmer, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman would likely work as the main wide receiver trio if Moore can't suit up next week against the Chargers.

Produces game winner Palmer caught one of his two targets for a 34-yard touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.

Impact Palmer's only targets in Week 1 came on the last two offensive plays of the game for the Bills. Josh Allen missed the wide receiver on a deep ball he couldn't quite react to before delivering a laser between Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock to Palmer for what ended up being the game-winning touchdown. Palmer's 18 offensive snaps prove the wide receiver has some week-to-week upside despite not being a regular option in the Buffalo offense.
