The Bills placed Smoot (wrist) on injured reserve Tuesday. Smoot injured his wrist during the Bills' Week 9 win over the Dolphins. He'll be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, and the earliest he can return is Week 15 against the Lions on Sunday, Dec. 15. Across seven regular-season outings, Smoot tallied 12 tackles (eight solo), including 1.5 sacks, and one forced fumble.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Smoot is set to undergo wrist surgery and will be placed on injured reserve, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports. Smoot failed to record a stat across 22 defensive snaps before exiting the Bills' Week 9 win over the Dolphins with a wrist injury. McDermott's comments Monday indicate the issue is serious, and Smoot will be forced to miss Buffalo's next four games if he moves to IR as expected. Von Miller will likely see increased work as a rotational edge rusher while Smoot is sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Smoot (toe) is trending towards not playing in Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Smoot was unable to suit up for the Bills' Week 1 win over the Cardinals, and it now appears his toe issue could hold him out for the second consecutive game Thursday. If Smoot is unable to go in Week 2, expect Von Miller and Casey Toohill to see increased work as rotational pass rushers.

Smoot (toe) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular-season opener against the Cardinals. Smoot practiced in full Wednesday and Thursday, but he popped up on Friday's injury report with a toe injury, which appears severe enough for him to be sidelined for Week 1. Casey Toohill and Von Miller will be the primary backup defensive ends Sunday behind starters Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa.

Smoot (toe) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals. Smoot popped up on Buffalo's injury report Friday after practicing in full both Wednesday and Thursday, and it now appears his Week 1 availability is in jeopardy due to a toe issue. If Smoot is unable to go Sunday, expect Casey Toohill to see increased reps as a rotational defensive end.
