Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has been ruled out for the upcoming game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a left knee injury. This absence marks Kincaid's second missed game in his career and significantly impacts the Bills' offense, as he leads the team in targets and receptions. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady and head coach Sean McDermott emphasize the need for adaptation and strategic planning in light of Kincaid's injury, indicating an increased role for tight end Dawson Knox and potential shifts to a different offensive alignment.
"I mean, certainly you have to kind of pivot a little bit in some areas," McDermott said regarding Kincaid's status. "[Offensive coordinator Joe Brady] has done a great job with that and the staff as well, and it is just a lot of communication, a lot of, 'Hey, what are we good at? What's this player best at?'" This highlights the team's focus on flexibility and communication to adjust their game plan.
Despite Kincaid's absence, the Bills managed to run some 12 personnel in previous games, showing resilience in their strategy. However, with Kincaid sidelined, they are expected to increase their use of 11 personnel, reflecting a shift in offensive dynamics and highlighting how they plan to adjust to maintain their competitive edge against the Chiefs.
