Bills TE Dalton Kincaid Ruled Out for Week 12 Due to Hamstring Injury

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) has been officially ruled out for Thursday night's Week 12 game against the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old tight end, who signed a four-year, $13.43 million contract in May 2023, injured his hamstring in Week 10 against the Dolphins and has not practiced since, being labeled "week-to-week." His next opportunity to return will be in Week 13 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, though his status remains iffy. In his absence, Dawson Knox will start at tight end for Buffalo, with Jackson Hawes serving as the No. 2 option. Kincaid's 2025 receiving stats include 29 receptions for 448 yards and four touchdowns on 36 targets, averaging 15.4 yards per catch.
