"If he's not 100 (percent), he's right at it," Beane said Monday as reported on the Bills' official site. Bass has handled the Bills' kicking duties since being drafted in 2020, but the team was forced to go with Matt Prater and Michael Badgley in 2025, while Bass never came close to suiting up due to a sports hernia, ultimately undergoing surgery in November. Neither Prater nor Badgley is with the team any longer, so it looks like the Bills are comfortable with Bass's prognosis to continue counting on him being their main guy throughout Josh Allen's prime seasons. Bass could be a good target in drafts due to the fact that he has no stats to show off from last season, plus the Bills have a new head coach with an offensive mind in Joe Brady. And there's the fact that Allen advances the football with the best of them.

Bills Injury Report
General manager Brandon Beane said this week that Bass, who missed the entire 2025 campaign due to a pelvic injury that required surgery, is close to full health again. "If he's not 100 (percent), he's right at it," Beane said Monday as reported on the Bills' official site. Bass has handled the Bills' kicking duties since being drafted in 2020, but the team was forced to go with Matt Prater and Michael Badgley in 2025, while Bass never came close to suiting up due to a sports hernia, ultimately undergoing surgery in November. Neither Prater nor Badgley is with the team any longer, so it looks like the Bills are comfortable with Bass's prognosis to continue counting on him being their main guy throughout Josh Allen's prime seasons. Bass could be a good target in drafts due to the fact that he has no stats to show off from last season, plus the Bills have a new head coach with an offensive mind in Joe Brady. And there's the fact that Allen advances the football with the best of them.
Bills general manager Brandon Beane said Monday that Kincaid (knee) has officially had his fifth-year option picked up by the team, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. Kincaid's fifth-year option keeps him under contract with Buffalo through the 2027 campaign. The 2023 first-round pick was limited to a career-low 12 regular-season appearances in 2025 due to a lingering PCL injury in his knee (that dates back to November 2024), but he nonetheless was productive, securing 39 of 49 targets for 571 yards and a career-high five touchdowns. Across two playoff appearances, Kincaid posted a 9-111-2 line on 11 targets. The 26-year-old tight end won't need to undergo any sort of offseason surgery, instead focusing on rehab to strengthen his knee for the future. He's positioned to reprise his role as Buffalo's top tight end after the team inked No. 2 man Dawson Knox to a new three-year deal, and the team's passing offense also could take a step forward with the addition of WR DJ Moore via trade.
Buffalo re-signed Hamlin (pectoral) on Friday. Hamlin appears to be fully recovered from the pectoral injury that caused him to miss the final 13 games of the 2025 campaign, as he practiced in full and was a candidate to return from IR in advance of the Bills' loss to the Broncos in the divisional round. Across five regular-season appearances last year, Hamlin handled just five defensive snaps. The soon-to-be 29-year-old looks primed to handle a similar reserve role during the 2026 campaign.
Cushenberry (undisclosed) signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Thursday. Cushenberry was released Feb. 25 by the Titans with a failed physical designation, but he has evidently recovered a month later, proving himself healthy enough to sign with Buffalo. He made 23 starts for the Titans over the previous two seasons and will compete for playing time at center with his new team.
Corbett signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Thursday. Corbett has 78 regular-season NFL starts under his belt, including 11 with the Panthers last season. He'll likely compete for a starting role on the interior of Buffalo's offensive line.
Sherfield signed a contract with the Bills on Thursday. Sherfield played 17 regular-season games for Buffalo in 2023, finishing with 11 catches for 86 yards and one touchdown. The 30-year-old wide receiver has 89 catches for 1,034 yards and six touchdowns in 124 regular-season games split between six teams. His ability to contribute on special teams could help Sherfield make the team in a depth role.
Minnesota has signed Van Demark to an offer sheet, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Van Demark is a restricted free agent, so Buffalo will have five days to match the offer. Van Demark started six of the 43 regular-season games in which he appeared over his first three NFL campaigns with the Bills.
Stone signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Friday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Stone is coming off a career year in 2025 with the Bengals, when he logged a career-best 104 tackles (65 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four pass defenses (one interception and one pick-six) across 17 regular-season games. He was a starting safety in each of his two years in Cincinnati, but Stone is not guaranteed to start in Buffalo, with his primary competition coming from Cole Bishop and C.J. Gardner-Johnson.
