Rapp (neck/shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions. The starting safety played last week with the same injuries but missed practice Wednesday. Rapp has played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in 11 of the 12 games he's appeared in this season. With Rapp and Damar Hamlin (back) both out, Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop are the next men up at safety for the Bills.

Rapp (neck/shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Rapp wasn't given an injury designation ahead of last Sunday's loss to the Rams due to the same injuries, and he went on to play all 77 defensive snaps. It's unclear if he suffered some sort of setback, but Rapp was unable to practice earlier in the week. Fellow starting safety Damar Hamlin (back) is also questionable for Sunday after he was downgraded to DNP on Thursday with a new injury. Already without starting CB Rasul Douglas (knee), Buffalo's secondary could be severely shorthanded against Detroit's high-octane offense.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Rapp (neck) will not practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Rapp played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Buffalo's loss to the Rams in Week 14, in which he tallied a season-high 13 tackles (eight solo), but he appears to have picked up a neck injury in the process. The Bills are only hosting a walkthrough practice Wednesday, so Rapp's participation level, or lack thereof, Thursday will be more telling regarding his chances of suiting up Sunday against Detroit.

Rapp finished with 13 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. Rapp also played on all 72 defensive snaps. The safety has played on every defensive snap in seven of the 12 games he's played in this season. Rapp has 75 tackles (42 solo), six passes defensed, including two interceptions, and a forced fumble in 2024.

Rapp (neck/shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams. The veteran safety appeared to be in jeopardy of missing Buffalo's Week 13 contest after logging a week of limited practice sessions due to shoulder and neck injuries. However, Friday's injury report suggests he'll play through the issues Sunday. Expect Rapp to start alongside Damar Hamlin as part of the Bills' top safety duo.
