Matt Prater day-to-day, Bills will work out kickers

Our Summary

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott provided an update on the team's kicking situation following Matt Prater's recent injury. Prater, who returned in Week 18 against the Jets after missing two games due to a quad injury, had to leave the game after re-injuring the muscle. McDermott stated that Prater is considered day-to-day as the team prepares for their upcoming game against Jacksonville. In response, the Bills plan to work out kickers to ensure they have a backup option if Prater is unable to play. Last week, the team released Michael Badgley when Prater was deemed healthy, but McDermott did not confirm if Badgley is being considered for a return.
