For perhaps the fifth-straight game in the 2018 NFL season, the Buffalo Bills have an edge in regard to the injury report.
Ahead of their Week 5 meeting with the Tennessee Titans, safeties highlight the report. Tennessee will officially be without starter Kenny Vaccaro while Buffalo starter Micah Hyde has a chance to play despite suffering an injury in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers.
Here’s the final injury reports prior to Sunday’s Titans – Bills game:
Tennessee Titans (3-1)
Out
– S Kenny Vaccaro (elbow)
– LB Wesley Woodyard (shoulder)
Questionable
– OL Dennis Kelly (illness)
Full practice
– WR Corey Davis (illness)
– QB Blaine Gabbert (concussion)
– QB Marcus Mariota (elbow)
– David Fluellen (groin)
Notes:
Mariota isn’t expected to have any struggles with his weird elbow injury which caused him to lose feeling in his throwing hand earlier this season. Vaccaro is expected to be replaced by veteran Kendrick Lewis in the starting lineup. Woodyard is also a starting linebacker for the Titans, rookie first-round pick Rashaan Evans or Jayon Brown could sub in for him against the Bills.
Buffalo Bills (1-3)
Questionable
– S Rafael Bush (shoulder)
– TE Charles Clay (ankle)
– S Micah Hyde (groin)
Full practice
– DE Shaq Lawson (hamstring)
– RB Marcus Murphy (ribs)
Notes:
Hyde was injured early in Week 4’s Packers contest and did not return, however, he said this week he’s hopeful he can play. If both Hyde and Bush are out, rookie Siran Neal could see playing time, along with a possible call-up from the practice squad in Dean Marlowe.
