At first glance, the Buffalo Bills' injury report reads like a novella. There are 17 names listed on Wednesday's report for the Bills compared to eight names on the Bengals' list, most of which are a result of minor bumps, bruises and rest days for established veterans.
Though Leon Hall is listed with a back injury, it's likely he was just getting a day off with a minor injury after receiving veteran's rest days every Wednesday so far this season. Adam Jones was battling a groin injury last week, too, but he played through it on Sunday and never missed a snap. He's likely to be back by Friday. Andre Smith and Kevin Zeitler both missed a few snaps on Sunday with elbow injuries, but should be fine by Sunday as they each played through the issues on Sunday against the Seahawks.
Wide receiver Marvin Jones' appearance on the injury report is the most suspect as it's unknown when his injury occurred. It could be his prior foot injury (which cost him all of last season) acting up, but Thursday and Friday's practices should shed more light on the severity of the issue.
The Bills' injury front is much more questionable with a crop of starters limited and not practicing. Thursday and Friday's practices will be more telling as to whether players like wide receiver Sammy Watkins, running back LeSean McCoy and quarterback Tyrod Taylor will play. As of now, Watkins seems the most likely to play among those three players.
