The Buffalo Bills are 3-1 after suffering their first loss of the season in Week 4 to the Baltimore Ravens. This week won’t be any easier as they’ll take on Stefon Diggs and the Houston Texans, marking the first time Buffalo has faced Diggs since trading him to Houston in April. And unfortunately for the Bills, they will be facing their former top receiver without their current top receiver.
Khalil Shakir was amongst four players ruled out who played in Week 4. The Bills’ top receiver is dealing with an ankle injury. The three other injuries were on the defensive side of the ball. Ed Oliver Taylor Rapp, and Austin Johnson will all mis Week 5, as well, which is the last thing the Bills needed after already being without Matt Milano, Terrel Bernard, and Taron Johnson.
Without Shakir in the lineup, the next leading receiver for the Bills is tight end Dalton Kincaid with 13 catches. Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel each have eight receptions.
