Latest Injury Report News and Updates
These teams are — knock on wood — relatively healthy for this matchup. The Bills will again be without LB Terrel Bernard and CB Taron Johnson, but Bills head coach Sean McDermott does not anticipate either player as candidates for injured reserve, which would require a four-game absence.
QB Josh Allen (left hand), TE Quintin Morris (shoulder), CB Kaiir Elam (neck), and QB Mitchell Trubisky (knee) should all be good to go barring a late setback.

OL Daniel Faalele (hip), OL Patrick Mekari (neck), DT Michael Pierce (shoulder), LB Roquan Smith (ankle), LB Josh Ross (hip), and S Ar’Darius Washington (ankle) are all expected to play.
