Buffalo Bills Injuries

Strong had a productive rookie season, logging reps at outside cornerback throughout the first four weeks of the 2025 season before suffering a career-altering neck injury. The 2025 sixth-round pick was seen at OTAs, but he's not expected to play in 2026 due to the severity of the neck issue. Strong cleared waivers, allowing the Bills to keep him on the roster as he works towards a possible return in 2027.

Shavers tore his ACL during the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the 2025 wild-card round. Shavers played in all 17 regular-season games during the 2025 season, catching 15-of-23 targets for 245 yards and one touchdown. It remains to be seen where the 26-year-old fits into the 2026 Bills' offensive scheme, as Joshua Palmer is returning from an ankle issue, and the team drafted Skyler Bell in the fourth round of the 2026 draft.

Hoecht tore his right Achilles during the Bills' Week 9 contest against the Chiefs. That was just his second appearance of the 2025 regular season after he missed the first six games while serving a suspension. He's drawn praise from his teammates and coaching staff for his approach to his rehab, and Hoecht is hoping to be available for the Bills' regular-season opener against the Texans on Sunday, Sept. 13.

VanSumeren has fully recovered from the torn patella tendon he suffered last September with the Eagles. The 26-year-old is expected to serve as the Bills' primary fullback during the upcoming campaign.
