Buffalo Bills coach Joe Brady is preparing contingency plans for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens amid several injury concerns. Starters DJ Moore (shoulder), Spencer Brown (back), and Dee Alford (ankle) are all listed as questionable. Brown missed all practices this week, while Alford missed Thursday and Friday sessions.
Moore participated in practices but wore a noncontact jersey. Alford's potential absence is particularly problematic, as the Bills will already be without safety C. J.
Gardner-Johnson, who is serving a one-game suspension. With Damar Hamlin expected to start in place of Gardner-Johnson, the nickel position becomes a concern. The Ravens' Zay Flowers lines up in the slot for over half of his snaps, prompting the Bills to consider moving cornerback Christian Benford or Maxwell Hairston into the slot.
Brown joked about taking heavy medication to play in Week 6, but his back issues have worsened. Moore has not played since Week 4 but feels ready. Tight end Dalton Kincaid and defensive lineman Greg Gaines are also questionable.
