Tight end Dalton Kincaid has popped up on the team's injury report again with a knee issue. As of December 17, 2025, he was listed as a DNP (Did Not Participate) in Wednesday's walkthrough practice ahead of Week 16 vs. the Cleveland Browns.This is a surprise addition—no reports of him getting hurt in the Bills' Week 15 win over the Patriots. It could be lingering from his earlier knee troubles (he dealt with knee/hamstring issues that caused him to miss games earlier this season) or just a maintenance/rest day for the oft-injured TE.Kincaid had been trending positively recently, even scoring a TD in limited action after returning. But this flare-up is worrisome for Josh Allen's offense as they push for playoff positioning.Our Sponsors:* Check out Cigars International and use my code FANATICS for a great deal: https://www.cigarsinternational.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
