Limited Friday, questionable vs. NE
Rapp (neck/shoulder) will be limited in Friday's practice and is questionable for this weekend's outing against New England, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Rapp missed his second game of the season in Buffalo's win this past weekend against Detroit, and he's now at risk of missing back-to-back matchups. The veteran is joined by safety Damar Hamlin on the questionable list, which could prime Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop for more playing time like last week.
Inactive Sunday
Rapp (neck/shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Lions. The starting safety played last week with the same injuries but missed practice Wednesday. Rapp has played on more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in 11 of the 12 games he's appeared in this season. With Rapp and Damar Hamlin (back) both out, Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop are the next men up at safety for the Bills.
Questionable versus Detroit
Rapp (neck/shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Lions. Rapp wasn't given an injury designation ahead of last Sunday's loss to the Rams due to the same injuries, and he went on to play all 77 defensive snaps. It's unclear if he suffered some sort of setback, but Rapp was unable to practice earlier in the week. Fellow starting safety Damar Hamlin (back) is also questionable for Sunday after he was downgraded to DNP on Thursday with a new injury. Already without starting CB Rasul Douglas (knee), Buffalo's secondary could be severely shorthanded against Detroit's high-octane offense.
Non-participant Wednesday
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Rapp (neck) will not practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Rapp played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Buffalo's loss to the Rams in Week 14, in which he tallied a season-high 13 tackles (eight solo), but he appears to have picked up a neck injury in the process. The Bills are only hosting a walkthrough practice Wednesday, so Rapp's participation level, or lack thereof, Thursday will be more telling regarding his chances of suiting up Sunday against Detroit.
Makes 13 tackles in loss
Rapp finished with 13 tackles (eight solo) in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. Rapp also played on all 72 defensive snaps. The safety has played on every defensive snap in seven of the 12 games he's played in this season. Rapp has 75 tackles (42 solo), six passes defensed, including two interceptions, and a forced fumble in 2024.
Ready for Sunday
Rapp (neck/shoulder) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Rams. The veteran safety appeared to be in jeopardy of missing Buffalo's Week 13 contest after logging a week of limited practice sessions due to shoulder and neck injuries. However, Friday's injury report suggests he'll play through the issues Sunday. Expect Rapp to start alongside Damar Hamlin as part of the Bills' top safety duo.
Limited in Thursday's practice
Rapp (neck/shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's injury report. Rapp is working through neck and shoulder injuries, which he presumably picked up during the Bills' win over the 49ers this past Sunday. He'll have to log a full practice Friday in order to avoid an injury designation heading into Sunday's game against the Rams. Rapp has logged 62 tackles (34 solo), six pass defenses (including two interceptions) and one forced fumble across 11 regular-season games.
Picks up injuries
Rapp (neck/shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimation. Rapp appears to have sustained neck and shoulder injuries in Buffalo's blowout win over the 49ers on Sunday night, despite playing 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording six total tackles and one forced fumble. If he's unable to suit up for the Bills' Week 14 matchup against the Rams, rookie Cole Bishop would see increased work with the first-team secondary.
Forces crucial fumble in rout of SF
Rapp recorded six tackles (four solo) and forced a fumble in a 35-10 Week 13 win over San Francisco on Sunday. Rapp tied for second on the Bills with his six stops. He also made a big play with Buffalo leading 21-3 early in the third quarter, punching the ball away from Kyle Juszczyk at the Bills' one-yard line to demoralize the Niners after they appeared to be headed for a score. Rapp has finished with at least six stops in six of his past seven games and has a shot at recording triple-digit tackles for the second time in his career with 62 through 11 contests.
