Bills set to miss Bernard, Samuel, and Carter at Seahawks
- Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott ruled out three key players for the upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks.
- Starting linebacker Terrel Bernard is out with an ankle injury, while rookie defensive tackle DeWayne Carter needs surgery for a wrist injury.
- The Bills, currently leading the AFC East, must adapt their strategy to compensate for these injuries as they seek to maintain their strong season.
In Orchard Park, New York, Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced significant player absences ahead of their upcoming game against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. Starting linebacker Terrel Bernard will be sidelined due to an ankle injury sustained during a game against the Tennessee Titans, where he had a notable performance before his injury. This marks a challenging season for Bernard, who previously missed two games with a pectoral injury. Additionally, rookie defensive tackle DeWayne Carter has been placed on injured reserve following a wrist injury that requires surgery. This means he is set to miss at least four games, leaving a gap in the team's defensive line. Carter's absence comes after he had begun to show promise, having made a crucial play in the Titans game. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel will also be out indefinitely due to a pectoral injury. His absence limits the team's options in the passing game as they prepare for the matchup against the NFC West-leading Seahawks. With a record of 5-2, the Bills are looking to maintain their position in the AFC East. The coaching staff will need to adjust their strategy to compensate for these injuries. The Bills will need to rely on their remaining receivers, including newly acquired Amari Cooper, to fill the void left by Samuel, as they aim to secure a win against Seattle.
