Week 8 is bringing some uncertainty at tight end, with Buffalo’s Dalton Kincaid and Chicago’s Colston Loveland both sitting on their teams’ injury reports as Sunday approaches. Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson is also in the mix, and his situation looks even shakier.
The good news for fantasy managers and anyone tracking the position: Tyler Warren, Dallas Goedert, Mark Andrews, Brock Bowers and Brenton Strange were all cleared after being removed from the injury report on Friday.
Kincaid showed up on Buffalo’s report coming out of the bye with a chest injury. He wore a non-contact jersey during the week and logged three limited practices before the Bills tagged him questionable on Friday. That status leaves some room for doubt, but ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Kincaid is “pretty confident” he’ll suit up, and the expectation is that he plays.
Loveland’s situation is newer and a little murkier. The Bears listed him with a neck issue, and he was added to the report midweek.
He was limited on Friday, which points to the injury cropping up during practice, though that can’t be confirmed from the report alone. A midweek addition usually isn’t a great sign, but with no detail on how serious it is, it’s hard to know exactly where things stand.
Chicago is set to release its final injury report on Saturday afternoon, which should bring more clarity.
Parkinson, meanwhile, is dealing with a rib issue and has not practiced at all this week. He’s still listed as questionable, but the lack of participation makes a Week 8 appearance look unlikely.

James Cook Faces A Huge Bills Test Against Baltimore
Buffalos ground game has been one of the biggest reasons the offense has stayed on schedule, with James Cook carrying the load and giving the Bills a steady threat between the tackles and on the edges. He has piled up 627 rushing yards and six touchdowns, production that has helped make the run game a real part of Buffalos identity rather than just a changeup.
The next test is a serious one, though, because Baltimore brings a top-10 run defense into the matchup and will force the Bills to prove their rushing attack can travel against a sturdier front. For Buffalo, that puts extra weight on Cooks role, especially with offensive coordinator Joe Brady already zeroing in on ball security as a point of emphasis. [Read more 🡒]
Bills Could Be Headed For A Maxx Crosby Deadline Debate
The trade deadline chatter around Maxx Crosby is starting to feel like the kind of conversation that could follow the Bills right up to Nov. 10. Buffalo has been mentioned alongside the Lions and Cowboys as a possible landing spot for the Raiders edge rusher, a reminder that teams looking to sharpen their defenses are keeping a close eye on the market for difference-makers, especially with the price of star defenders climbing into the multiple first-round-pick range.
For the Bills, the appeal is obvious even without the full mechanics of a deal coming into view. Crosby would fit the profile of a player who can change the tone of a defense in a hurry, and Buffalo is the sort of contender that has to at least weigh whether a swing of that size is worth it. The bigger question is whether the market gets even more complicated from here, because once a player of Crosbys stature starts drawing this much attention, the deadline can turn into a bidding war fast.

Bills Head Into Ravens Game With Key Roles Still In Doubt
The Bills are heading into their matchup with the Ravens with a handful of important roles still unsettled after the final practice of the week. Joe Brady confirmed six players are listed as questionable, including DJ Moore and Dalton Kincaid, while the team has not officially ruled anyone out as it prepares for one of its biggest tests of the early season.
Greg Gaines was added to the injury report late after tweaking his lower body during Friday practice, adding another layer of uncertainty to Buffalos depth chart. On the back end, Damar Hamlin is set to start at safety with C.J. Gardner-Johnson serving a suspension, giving the Bills at least one clear answer as they sort through the rest of the roster before kickoff. [Read more 🡒]
