When the Buffalo Bills meet up with the New York Jets on Sunday, it’ll be a tale of two seasons for these teams, and not just with their win-loss records. The Bills, who’ve only seen three season-ending injuries this season (Tre’davious White, Justin Zimmer, and Ike Boettger), are in a very different place than the Jets (13 players on Injured Reserve and five on the COVID-19 reserve list.
The Bills have managed to avoid major injuries so far, and even minor injuries aren’t going to have a significant impact in this week’s game. Only two players won’t play on Sunday: Efe Obada, who was ruled out with an ankle injury, and Emmanuel Sanders, who is technically doubtful with his knee injury, but the Bills have never had a doubtful player appear in a game with Sean McDermott as head coach.
