The Buffalo Bills have a question mark in one of their key pass-catchers for the Week 6 game against the Atlanta Falcons in tight end Dalton Kincaid.

Kincaid was added to the injury report this week with an oblique issue and was a limited participant in practice on Thursday and Friday.

On Saturday, head coach Sean McDermott revealed Kincaid's status is in question for the Monday night contest against the Falcons and added the team will have to see what he can do at practice on Saturday before making a decision on him.

Dalton Kincaid injury update

UPDATE: The Bills have dropped their final injury report of the week and Kincaid was once again a limited participant and is questionable for Week 6.

END OF UPDATE

Once the Bills got on the practice field, Kincaid was still sporting a red non-contact jersey, which hints he still isn't at 100% this late in the week.

"Dalton Kincaid (oblique) still in a red non-contact jersey," WGR 550's Sal Capaccio reported on Saturday afternoon. "Sean McDermott said they’ll get a look at him (and Curtis Samuel) at practice today before making a determination on their game status for Monday night."

Based on that, Kincaid looks like he's heading for a questionable tag on the final injury report, which will drop later in the day.

The good news for the Bills is that Kincaid has an extra day to get right with Buffalo playing on Monday night.

Kincaid is on track to have the best season of his career and currently leads all Bills pass-catchers with 287 yards and three scores through the air.

Losing him for a game would be a tough blow for Buffalo's offense, which has no shortage of concerns when it comes to its pass-catchers thanks to the lackluster starts to the season from Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Joshua Palmer.

If Kincaid sits, veteran Dawson Knox and rookie Jackson Hawes would be in line for more work.
