Only eight teams are left in the 2024 NFL playoffs with just over three weeks remaining until Super Bowl LVIII. Like every week in the NFL, we’ve got a bevy of injury updates to address with conference championship appearances at stake.
While each remaining team is dealing with injuries, no one has been hit harder than the Buffalo Bills.
