Buffalo Bills quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has no injury designation, so he appears set to be Josh Allen’s backup in the game when they face the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. However, backup defensive end Dawuane Smoot was added to the report on Friday because of a toe injury.
The details of the Bills’ final injury report are below.
Buffalo Bills Week 1 final injury report game designations
Ruled out
DE Javon Solomon (oblique)
Solomon did not participate in practice for the Bills all week.
Questionable
DE Dawuane Smoot (toe)
The Bills could be shorthanded at end if Smoot, who was added to the report and did not practice Friday, is unable to play and with Solomon already declared out.
That leaves only backups Von Miller and Casey Touhill on the edge. It’s possible the Bills could elevate either Kameron Cline or Kingsley Jonathan from the practice squad.
Smoot was signed in May after becoming a Jaguars unrestricted free agent in March. Although he had only one sack last season, in the previous four in Jacksonville, he totaled 22.5 sacks and 24 tackles for loss.
No injury designation
