Bills have a kicker problem with Matt Prater injury image

The Buffalo Bills have a problem.

Matt Prater re-aggravated his quad injury on Sunday, and he had to leave the Bills' Week 18 game against the Jets.

The playoffs start in a week's time. Who will kick for Buffalo?

There are no other healthy kickers on the roster.

Tyler Bass hasn't played all year and never got healthy.

Prater has been great when on the field, starting with his Week 1 game-winner. But he missed two games recently with his quad injury, and now he hurt it again.

The Bills had used Michael Badgley in place of Prater, but Badgley had a couple of missed kicks and wouldn't necessarily be who Buffalo goes back to.

There aren't a ton of inspiring options available.

The Bills have to at least bring someone in now, given that Prater is liable to keep getting hurt at this rate.

But who?

That's a worry for the next couple days, and it's a crucial one.
