The Buffalo Bills had a very short injury report leading up to tonight’s game. Throw this in with Matt Milano being activated off the injured reserve and Buffalo had to make some tough decisions when it came to their inactive list for their matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
Shortly before kickoff, Buffalo announced that Jake Fromm, T.J. Yeldon, Tyler Kroft and Trent Murphy would not suit up against the Niners. This is the same inactive list that Buffalo had last week against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jake Fromm and T.J. Yeldon have been mainstays on the list. Fromm has been in a quarantine of sorts in the event that the Bills experience positive COVID-19 tests in the quarterback room a la the Denver Broncos. Yeldon, while talented, is simply Buffalo’s No. 3 option behind Devin Singletary and Zack Moss. With both backs healthy, there is no need for the veteran to dress for the game.
Kroft is currently the odd man out at tight end despite being the most consistent player at the position. Lee Smith brings blocking ability to the run game while Dawson Knox has the most athleticism at the position. Undrafted free agent Reggie Gilliam has been a special teams standout for the Bills as well.
As for Murphy, Buffalo simply has better options along their defensive line. Jerry Hughes and Mario Addison have brought consistent pressure from the position while young players like A.J. Epenesa and Darryl Johnson have flashed with limited reps. Johnson is also an important special teams contributor.
