• Bills' Tyler Bass: Done for season

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Coach Sean McDermott revealed Monday that Bass (left hip/groin) underwent surgery last week and will be sidelined for the rest of the season, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. The Bills placed Bass on IR back on Sept. 5, and Matt Prater has handled the team's kicking duties since then. Bass, who is under contract with Buffalo through 2027, thus will turn his focus to rehabbing his injury with an eye toward being ready ahead of next season.

• Bills' Tyler Bass: Practice window not opening yet

  10/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Bills coach Sean McDermott said Thursday that Bass (left hip/groin) is among players on IR who will not have their practice windows opened yet, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. McDermott said, "We'll see -- going off the info from the medical team," when asked whether Bass will play this season, per Maddy Glab of the team's official site, though he did acknowledge that the kicker is trending in the right direction. Bass' 21-day practice window was eligible to open as early as Week 5, but at this stage a timetable for him to retake the field remains uncertain. Fill-in kicker Matt Prater has been reliable through five regular-season appearances, having converted 10 of 11 field-goal tries and all 15 of his extra-point attempts, so Buffalo has little reason to rush Bass back to action.

• Bills' Tyler Bass: Uncertain for Week 6

  10/08/2025 • By RotoWire

  Bills coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that the team has not yet decided whether Bass (left hip/groin), who remains on IR, could return for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Alec White of the team's official site reports. Bass was eligible to have his 21-day practice window opened as early as last week, but Buffalo has yet to instigate such a transaction. While the Bills haven't yet ruled Bass out for Week 6, his availability will look increasingly unlikely the longer he remains off the practice field. Bass hasn't yet suited up for regular-season action this year, and until he's fully healthy Matt Prater figures to continue operating as Buffalo's starting kicker.

• Bills' Tyler Bass: Recovering well

  09/24/2025 • By RotoWire

  Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Wednesday that Bass (left hip/groin) is moving in the right direction, but the Bills remain unsure about when he will return from injured reserve, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports. Buffalo will be without its top place kicker for at least one more week, as Bass was forced to miss the team's first four games due to his placement on IR in early September. It's unclear whether the Georgia Southern product will be available following the Bills' Week 4 contest against the Saints, but Matt Prater is expected to assume the team's kicking duties until Bass returns to full health.

• Bills' Tyler Bass: Moves to injured reserve

  09/05/2025 • By RotoWire

  The Bills placed Bass (left hip/groin) on injured reserve Friday. Bass dealt with what at the time was termed a pelvic injury in the early days of training camp but still was able to suit up in Buffalo's preseason finale, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts and both point-after tries. He then mustered just one limited practice during Week 1 prep due to left hip and groin concerns before the team made the decision to shut him down for at least the first four games of the season. The Bills will need to elevate Matt Prater from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday night's showdown with the Ravens.
