Clay is expected to be a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills probably won't reveal the reason behind Clay's limitations until after the session concludes, but it's likely due to the shoulder issue that rendered him questionable heading into the Week 4 game against the Packers. Clay ultimately suited up in the 22-0 loss, setting season highs across the board with four receptions for 40 yards on six targets. Though the tight end may not be 100 percent healthy, the fact that he's starting Week 5 preparations on the practice field in some capacity suggests he'll likely be good to go for Sunday's matchup with the Titans.

Clay caught four of six targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 22-0 loss to the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Clay came off the field with what looked like an ankle injury at one point, but he was able to tough it out. The veteran tight end led his team in receiving yards in a contest that saw rookie quarterback Josh Allen throw for just 115 yards. It's hard to trust anybody in Buffalo's offense ahead of a Week 5 clash with the Titans.

Clay (shoulder) is active and starting the Week 4 matchup against Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Clay missed practice time this week due to multiple injuries, but returned on a limited basis Friday, and looked good enough in pregame warmups to warrant the active status. While Clay has yet to surpass double-digit targets on the year, he's been on the field for 40 or more snaps in each of Buffalo's first three contests. Until we see Clay take on a more active role in the offense under rookie quarterback Josh Allen, the 29-year-old tight end is difficult to recommend from a fantasy standpoint.

Clay (shoulder/hip) returned to a limited practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

EDGE Analysis

Clay is off to a slow start through the Bills' first three games, having logged just four receptions for 47 yards on eight targets. It's possible that he'll emerge as a reliable target for rookie QB Josh Allen, but we need to see that actually transpire before endorsing Clay as a lineup option. In any case, the tight end's Week 4 status will be clarified in advance of the first wave of games Sunday, with the Bills kicking off at 1:00 ET.

Clay (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

As was the case Wednesday, Clay was present for the Bills' practice session Thursday while donning a non-contact jersey. It was believed Clay's activity would translate to a limited participation tag for the second straight day, so it's somewhat concerning that the Bills downgraded his listing. Clay's availability for the Week 4 matchup with the Packers now looks more questionable than it initially did, a less-than-ideal development with fellow tight end Jason Croom (knee) also banged up.

Clay (shoulder/hip) was spotted in a non-contact jersey at the beginning of Thursday's practice, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clay donned the same jersey during the Bills' first practice of the week Wednesday, during which he was listed as a limited participant. It appears he'll be in line for a similar designation again Thursday while he continues to manage shoulder and hip injuries. If either issue prevents Clay from playing Week 4 against the Packers, Jason Croom would profile as the Bills' top pass-catching tight end after the team made Logan Thomas inactive in last Sunday's win over the Vikings.

Clay was limited at Wednesday's practice because he's battling through shoulder and hip injuries, Mike Rodak of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clay is no stranger to the injury report, though because it's not an issue with his chronic knee troubles and because he was able to get through a limited practice, we'll go with the assumption that under his current condition he'll be able to play against the Packers in Week 4. Of greater concern is his disappointing 4-47-0 line through three games.

Clay was sporting a non-contact jersey at Wednesday's practice and is expected to be listed as a limited participant, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Clay hasn't previously appeared on the Bills' injury report this season and wasn't known to have suffered any setback on the health front during Sunday's win over the Vikings, so his limitations come as a surprise. Buffalo should offer more clarity on Clay's condition once they release Wednesday's practice report. Through his first three outings of 2018, Clay has yet to forge much of a connection with either Josh Allen or Nathan Peterman, hauling in just four of eight targets for 47 yards and no touchdowns.

Clay caught two passes on three targets for 29 yards during Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran was shut out in the first game, so at least he was more involved in Week 2. Clay saw action on 69 percent of the offensive plays, while Logan Thomas was in on 31 percent of the plays and Jason Croom saw 26 percent. Clay still has a good pass-catching chops, but he's got a low ceiling and could struggle to find meaningful production in an offense that may limp along for much of the season, with a few options ahead of him in the passing game.

Clay caught four of six targets for 24 yards in Sunday's preseason loss to the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

This is the type of stat line the 29-year-old tight end is known for, though six yards per catch is obviously on the low end even for him. Clay, Kelvin Benjamin and LeSean McCoy are the only safe bets to draw regular targets from whichever player ends up winning the QB competition in Buffalo.
