Tyler Bass - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Promising health outlook General manager Brandon Beane said this week that Bass, who missed the entire 2025 campaign due to a pelvic injury that required surgery, is close to full health again. "If he's no...

Impact Bass has handled the Bills' kicking duties since being drafted in 2020, but the team was forced to go with Matt Prater and Michael Badgley in 2025, while Bass never came close to suiting up due to a sports hernia, ultimately undergoing surgery in November. Neither Prater nor Badgley is with the team any longer, so it looks like the Bills are comfortable with Bass's prognosis to continue counting on him being their main guy throughout Josh Allen's prime seasons. Bass could be a good target in drafts due to the fact that he has no stats to show off from last season, plus the Bills have a new head coach with an offensive mind in Joe Brady. And there's the fact that Allen advances the football with the best of them.

Practice window not opening yet Bills coach Sean McDermott said Thursday that Bass (left hip/groin) is among players on IR who will not have their practice windows opened yet, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic report...

Impact McDermott said "we'll see -- going off the info from the medical team" when asked whether Bass will play this season, per Maddy Glab of the team's official site, though he did acknowledge that the kicker is trending in the right direction. His 21-day practice window was eligible to open as early as Week 5, but at this stage a timetable for Bass to retake the field remains uncertain. Fill-in kicker Matt Prater has been reliable through five regular-season appearances, having converted 10 of 15 field-goal tries and all 15 of his extra-point attempts, so Buffalo has little reason to rush Bass back to action.

Impact Bass was eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened as early as last week, but Buffalo has yet to instigate such a transaction. While the Bills haven't yet ruled Bass out for Week 6, his availability will look increasingly unlikely the longer he remains off the practice field. Bass hasn't yet suited up for regular-season action this year, and until he's fully healthy Matt Prater figures to continue operating as Buffalo's starting kicker.
