Bills' kicker Matt Prater may be impacted by injury in Week 9 vs. Chiefs with Tyler Bass still not playing | Sporting News Buffalo doesn't need this.

NOVEMBER 2, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Ready for Week 9 Prater (right calf) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.

Impact The 41-year-old logged three consecutive limited sessions during the Bills' week of practice due to a calf injury, but it now appears that he'll play through the issue in Week 9. Expect Prater to serve as the Bills' top placekicker Sunday.

Another limited practice Thursday Prater (right calf) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Prater has logged consecutive limited sessions to begin preparations for Sunday's home game against the Chiefs. Tyler Bass (hip) remains on injured reserve and hasn't had his window to return to practice opened yet, so Prater's set to remain Buffalo's kicker in Week 9 if healthy enough to play.

Dealing with calf injury Prater was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury in his kicking leg.

Impact It's unclear when Prater sustained the injury, though it was likely during the Bills' Week 8 win over the Panthers, when he made all six of his kicks (two field goals and four PATs). He has served as the Bills' starting kicker through the first seven games of the regular season due to Tyler Bass (hip) being on injured reserve, and Buffalo does not currently have a place kicker on the practice squad. Prater will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation heading into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Makes six kicks in Week 8 win Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and went 4-for-5 on point-after tries during the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.

Impact Prater scored the Bills' first six points of the game with field goals from 45 and 43 yards in the first half. His first extra-point try in the second quarter sailed wide left, but he was perfect on his next four PATs. Prater has done a serviceable job as the Bills' placekicker as Tyler Bass remains on injured reserve due to a left hip/groin injury. Prater has gone 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-22 on extra-point tries through seven regular-season games.

Quiet night on MNF Prater did not attempt a field goal and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Monday night's 24-14 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Prater went without a field-goal try for the first time this season, previously having notched multiple attempts in four of five games to open the year. With Tyler Bass (hip) still unable to return to practice, Prater seems likely to remain the team's starting kicker following Buffalo's bye week in Week 7.

Perfect again Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

Impact The kicker made a 31-yarder early in the game and a 45-yarder in the fourth to briefly tie it up.

With Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) still on IR for the moment, the Bills' high-scoring kicking job belongs to Prater, who has also made a strong case to keep it.
