INJURIES

Sits out first practice of week The Bills listed Prater as a non-participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to right quadriceps and calf injuries.
Impact Buffalo had previously been listing Prater on injury reports with only the quad issue, which kept him from playing in Weeks 16 and 17. Prater has since gone on to knock down both of his field-goal tries and all six of his extra-point attempts between the Bills' win over the Jets in the regular-season finale and victory over the Jaguars in the wild-card round, but he's ceded kickoff duties to punter Mitch Wishnowsky in both of those contests. Even though Prater's calf is now bothering him in addition to the lingering quad injury, head coach Sean McDermott said he expects the veteran to kick during Wednesday's practice, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. If either injury is inhibiting Prater in practice too much for him to play in Saturday's divisional-round game in Denver, the Bills will likely call up Matthew Wright from the practice squad to serve as their kicker.

Impact Prater was limited in the Bills' wild-card round matchup against the Jaguars after aggravating a right quadriceps injury in Week 18. The 10th-year kicker only participated in field goals and extra-point attempts, where he went five of five kicking. McDermott also said Monday that he expects Prater to practice more as the team prepares for the AFC divisional round.

Cleared for wild-card round Prater (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's AFC wild-card game against the Jaguars.
Impact Prater aggravated a right quadriceps injury during the Bills' Week 18 win over the Jets, which put his status for the playoffs in jeopardy. He strung together a DNP/FP/DNP practice log to earn the questionable tag, and with Matthew Wright remaining on the practice squad, Prater will be the lone kicker on the Bills' active roster for Sunday's playoff tilt.

Expected to play Sunday Prater (quadriceps) is expected to play in Buffalo's wild-card matchup versus the Jaguars on Sunday, Chris Brown of the team's Radio Network reports.
Impact Prater will seemingly be good to go against Jacksonville, as the Bills didn't elevate Matthew Wright from the practice squad, leaving Prater as the only kicker on the active roster. The 41-year-old converted 18 of his 20 field-goal attempts and 46 of his 49 extra-point tries across 15 games during the regular season.

Questionable after sitting Friday Prater (quadriceps) is listed as questionable for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Jaguars.
Impact Prater sandwiched a full practice Thursday between being a non-participant Wednesday and Friday. The veteran kicker's status appears to be truly up in the air, with Matthew Wright on standby and eligible to be brought up from the practice squad in the event that Prater's unavailable. Prater hasn't finished a game since Week 15, with two absences and an early exit after that point.

Impact Prater practiced in full Thursday, but it appears he'll receive an official questionable designation for Sunday's wild-card round game against the Jaguars. McDermott said Buffalo will monitor how the kicker's health holds up during the weekend. After missing back-to-back games, Prater returned to action Week 18 versus the Jets but then was forced off the field early due to an apparent aggravation of his quad injury. If Prater isn't able to play Sunday, Matthew Wright will stand to be elevated from the Bills' practice squad for a spot start.

Practices without limits Thursday Prater (quadriceps) was a full participant at Thursday's practice.
Impact Prater's full participation Thursday sets him up to kick for the Bills in their wild-card round trip to Jacksonville on Sunday. He sat out Weeks 16 and 17 due to the injury and didn't finish the game in Week 18. If Prater suffers a setback prior to Sunday's game, Matthew Wright remains on the practice squad as a potential alternative.

Returns to practice Thursday Prater (quadriceps) is participating in practice Thursday, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
Impact Prater and practice squad kicker Matthew Wright are both practicing Thursday, though the former's participation level remains to be seen after Prater didn't practice Wednesday. After kicking in Buffalo's first 14 games of the regular season, Prater sat out Weeks 16 and 17 due to a quadriceps injury in his right, kicking leg, and he was unable to complete the Week 18 win over the Jets due to the injury. Either Prater or Wright will kick for the Bills in Sunday's wild-card round road game against the Jaguars.

Looking to practice Thursday Prater (quadriceps) will not practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Impact Coach Sean McDermott says that Prater will not practice today but plans for him to kick tomorrow, where they will have a better idea of his status for Sunday's playoff game against the Jaguars. The Bills recently signed kicker Matthew Wright to the practice squad. If Prater's practice Thursday is insufficient, Wright will likely start Sunday's game.

Impact Prater's nagging right quad injury kept him from kicking in Weeks 16 and 17 and resulted in him being unable to finish this past Sunday's 35-8 win over the Jets, but the aggravation he experienced in the regular-season finale doesn't appear to be viewed as significant. Even so, McDermott acknowledged that while Prater still has a chance at playing in the postseason opener, the Bills plan to bring in other kickers for workouts Tuesday in order to have a replacement option ready to go in case the 41-year-old isn't ready to kick against Jacksonville. Over his 15 appearances during the regular season, Prater knocked down 46 of 49 extra-point tries and 18 of 20 field-goal attempts, with a long conversion of 52 yards.
