BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Bills will be without wide receiver Joshua Palmer to start the postseason as he was downgraded to out on Saturday.
Palmer is dealing with an ankle injury that led him to miss practice all week, but he was originally listed as questionable for Sunday’s wild-card game against the Jacksonville Jaguars (1 p.m. ET, CBS).
Coach Sean McDermott said on Friday that they would “see how he does.” Knee and ankle injuries led to him missing five games during the regular season, however, the receiver did play in the team’s Week 18 game against the New York Jets (84% of snaps). Second-year receiver Keon Coleman is expected to be active with Palmer down.
The Bills have three other players questionable for the game — kicker Matt Prater (right quad), running back Ty Johnson (ankle) and linebacker Shaq Thompson (neck). McDermott said that Thompson “should be good” to play.
