The Buffalo Bills' loss to the Miami Dolphins 30-13 was bad enough for the AFC East franchise, as it marked the first time since 2022 they had lost to their division rivals.

But there was something that rubbed salt into the wounds.

Promising tight end Dalton Kincaid, who has developed into Josh Allen's top weapon, suffered a hamstring injury. It was the classic, pull-up while running and reaching around to feel the hamstring from Kincaid, as all signs point to at least a couple of weeks on the sidelines.

Or so we thought.

NFL insider Jordan Schultz posted an update on Kincaid's injury and called his hamstring injury a "week-to-week" prognosis.

Now, that does seem odd, as most hamstring injuries are generally at least a couple of weeks, but it might also point to Dalton's injury being less significant than we thought.

Either way, a "week-to-week" hamstring injury is odd, and all eyes will be on Dalton this week in practice.

Bills' passing game depleted with Kincaid injury news

Buffalo's inconsistent passing game has been the major storyline to come out of the Miami loss, and with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers up next, the Bills are going to need all weapons available.

But if Kincaid can't go, then it will fall on Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and other tight ends, Dawson Knox, and Jackson Hawes, to pick up the slack. Granted, the Bills' passing game looked poor even with Kincaid on the field, so we can only imagine what it could look like without Dalton.

Either way, Kincaid has to suit up for the Bills to get back on the winner's list, and if his hamstring truly is a "week-to-week" injury, there is a chance he'll face Tampa Bay in Week 11.
