Is Dalton Kincaid playing today? Update on Bills TE for TNF showdown vs Dolphins

Tight end Dalton Kincaid and the Buffalo Bills are getting ready for the Week 2 Thursday Night Football matchup against divisional rivals Miami Dolphins.

Many people believed that Kincaid would be the Bills' primary target in their redesigned passing strategy before the season began. However, the tight end managed just one reception for 11 yards on two targets in Week 1. Kincaid will hope to have another opportunity to surpass that showing in Week 2.

Is Dalton Kincaid playing today?

Yes, Dalton Kincaid is expected to suit up for the Buffalo Bills tonight in the AFC East matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The former first-round draft pick does not have any injury concerns ahead of the game, as suggested by the team's injury report, so he will likely log his usual workload again during the Thursday night game.

The Bills have only ruled out two players for their game in Florida this week — defensive end Dawuane Smoot (toe injury) and cornerback Taron Johnson (forearm injury).

Josh Allen hurt his non-throwing arm in the Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals, but according to head coach Sean McDermott, team doctors have given the quarterback the all-clear to play in Week 2.

Kincaid wasn't a focal point of the Bills' offensive strategy against the Cardinals, registering just two targets in Week 1. However, going into Week 2 against the Dolphins defense, he should see more targets.

Kincaid had 91 targets for 73 receptions, 673 yards and two scores last season. He is still expected to be the Bills' most productive returning target as the season progresses.
