The Buffalo Bills won’t have tight end Dalton Kincaid for Sunday’s game against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who ruled out wide receiver Chris Godwin and running back Bucky Irving.
Bill coach Sean McDermott confirmed Friday that Kincaid will not suit up for Buffalo (6-3) due to a hamstring injury sustained in last Sunday’s 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins.
Kincaid, 26, leads the team with four receiving touchdowns. His 29 catches for 448 receiving yards trail only wide receiver Khalil Shakir (45, 457) for the team lead in both categories.
As for Shakir, McDermott said the wideout is expected to be cleared for contact and turn in a full participation level at Friday’s practice. Shakir, 25, has been limited the previous two days due to ankle and rib injuries.
Bills defensive tackle Phidarian Mathis (shoulder) also has been ruled out.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles said Irving (foot, shoulder) and Godwin (fibula) are continuing to make progress but are not ready to return for Tampa Bay (6-3).
Irving, 23, has been sidelined since Week 4. He has 237 rushing yards, 193 receiving yards and two touchdown grabs in four games this season.
Godwin, 29, has been limited to two games this season, catching a total of six passes for 52 yards in Weeks 4 and 5.
