The Buffalo Bills are off to an impressive start to the 2024 NFL season, holding a 6-2 record as they head into Week 9. With a significant lead over other AFC East teams, Buffalo is well on track for a postseason berth even at the halfway mark. However, the team received some concerning injury news regarding a key addition to their offense.

Wide receiver missed Wednesday’s practice due to a wrist injury, according to Maddy Glab. The team is monitoring his condition on a day-to-day basis. Head coach Sean McDermott also reported that WR Curtis Samuel and LB Terrel Bernard were limited in practice on Wednesday.

Although Cooper’s injury does not appear severe, it’s something for Bills fans to watch closely. He had a quiet Week 8 performance, catching only one pass for three yards, likely impacted by the wrist issue.

If Cooper is unable to play in Week 9, the Bills are well-prepared to adjust. Coming into the season, Buffalo emphasized a versatile offense without relying on a single lead receiver. This approach allows the team to distribute targets effectively among their depth of playmakers. If Cooper sits out, Keon Coleman, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, and Dawson Knox are expected to take on larger roles in the passing game.

Buffalo’s next challenge is a Week 9 showdown against the Miami Dolphins.

Bills have a chance to clinch playoff berth as soon as Week 11

The Buffalo Bills could lock in a playoff berth in just three weeks, and there’s even a mathematical path for them to clinch the AFC East title as early as Week 11. For this to happen, the Bills would need to win their next three games against the Dolphins, Colts, and Chiefs, though the Chiefs matchup poses the biggest challenge, as Kansas City remains undefeated.

Additionally, Buffalo would need the Dolphins, Jets, and Patriots to each go 0-3 over the same stretch. Since these teams don’t face one another in the upcoming games, it’s possible, albeit challenging, for all three to lose.

Even if Buffalo doesn’t clinch the division that soon, they’re in prime position to capture another AFC East title this season.
