Jordan Poyer, Maxwell Hairston Out for Bills vs. Broncos Game
Head coach Sean McDermott of the Buffalo Bills announced that two key players will miss the upcoming game against the Denver Broncos. Safety Jordan Poyer and cornerback Maxwell Hairston have been officially ruled out due to injuries.
Injury Updates: Key Players Out
Jordan Poyer is grappling with a hamstring injury, while Maxwell Hairston is sidelined with an ankle injury. Their absence will significantly impact the Bills’ defense in this critical matchup.
Potential Availability of Ty Johnson
Running back Ty Johnson’s status remains uncertain as he continues to manage an ankle injury. Johnson did not participate in the previous wild card victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- Ty Johnson: Limited practice, questionable for the game.
- Jordan Poyer: Ruled out with a hamstring injury.
- Maxwell Hairston: Ruled out due to an ankle injury.
McDermott indicated that the team will adopt a similar strategy to last week when determining Johnson’s availability.
Other Injury Considerations
Defensive tackle Ed Oliver and wide receiver Curtis Samuel are both listed as questionable for the game. Oliver has a biceps injury but was a limited participant in practice. In contrast, Samuel, who is recovering from an elbow injury, practiced fully, marking a good sign for his potential return to the lineup.
- Ed Oliver: Questionable, limited practice participant.
- Curtis Samuel: Questionable, fully participated in practice.
Defensive back Damar Hamlin (pectoral) and linebacker Terrel Bernard (calf) are also expected to be questionable for the game against the Broncos, adding further uncertainty to the Bills’ lineup.
As kickoff approaches, the Bills will be closely monitoring the status of these players leading up to the divisional round contest. Their performance may hinge on the availability of key personnel.
