Buffalo Bills list five players questionable vs. Ravens
Buffalo Bills head coach Joe Brady said Friday that five players will carry a questionable designation for Sundays Week 8 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Brady identified wide receiver D.J. Moore (shoulder), tight end Dalton Kincaid (chest), cornerback Dee Alford (ankle), defensive lineman Greg Gaines and right tackle Spencer Brown (back) as questionable. The team released the injury report Oct. 30, 2026 as it finalized its pregame statuses.
Brady said Gaines tweaked his lower body during Friday’s practice, and both Moore and Kincaid were limited in practice and wore red non-contact jerseys for the week. Brown has said he is still managing a back issue that forced him to exit the Week 5 meeting with Baltimore. Brady said he trusts Brown’s preparation and believes Brown can play without practicing full reps. The coach declined to provide a definitive game-time determination Friday.
Brady added that wide receiver Tyrell Shavers (knee) will not be activated from injured reserve this week. Defensive lineman Ed Oliver does not carry an injury designation and is expected to play Sunday, which would mark his first appearance since Week 4. A post-practice update to the official injury report also listed outside linebacker T.J. Parker (knee) as questionable. The Bills posted a large photo gallery from their Oct. 29 practice at the Kaleida Health Performance Center.
The Baltimore Ravens said they expect quarterback Lamar Jackson to be available after he missed three games with a left ankle sprain. Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said the team anticipates Jackson will play Sunday. Joe Brady said Buffalo prepared this week with Jackson’s potential return in mind and expects to face Jackson at a high level. Brady added that Jackson’s availability should make for a competitive game.
NFL Sports Blog Take
The Bills enter Week 8 with multiple contributors listed as questionable, which could affect both offensive rhythm and defensive depth against a Ravens team expecting Lamar Jackson back under center. The questionable tags for D.J. Moore and Dalton Kincaid are notable because both were limited in practice and have defined roles in the passing game. Spencer Brown’s status warrants attention given his earlier in-game exit against Baltimore, while Ed Oliver’s return would bolster the defensive front. T.J. Parker joining the list adds another variable for the Bills’ front seven as they finalize their active roster for Sunday.
