Kincaid (knee) reportedly played with a torn PCL during the entire 2025 season, per Ryan Talbot of Syracuse.com.
EDGE Analysis
Kincaid initially suffered the injury in November of 2024. He opted for rehab last offseason but subsequently remained bothered by the injury according to fellow TE Dawson Knox, which capped the 2023 first-rounder's snap counts during the 2025 campaign. Kincaid didn't play more than 55 percent of snaps on offense in any game during the regular season or playoffs. He may try to rehab the injury again this offseason, but if Kincaid opts for surgery, he could face an estimated recovery timeframe of six-to-nine months.

Kincaid secured all six targets for 83 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 33-30 overtime divisional-round loss to the Broncos on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
The talented tight end shook off some nagging knee and calf injuries to suit up and finish as the Bills' leader in receiving yards on the afternoon. Kincaid also contributed to Buffalo's comeback from what had been a 23-10 deficit by recording a 14-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Both Kincaid's reception and receiving yardage tallies were his highest since Week 9, while his scoring catch was his second in as many playoff games. Kincaid also put together a solid 2025 regular season during which he missed five games, generating a 39-571-5 line on 49 targets, with 13 of his catches going for 20-plus yards.

Kincaid (knee/calf) doesn't carry an injury designation for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Kincaid was listed as limited on Bills practice reports Tuesday through Thursday, but he'll be available this weekend, nonetheless. With WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee) all on IR, Kincaid figures to be busy versus Denver in the absence of any in-game setbacks. During Buffalo's wild-card win over the Jaguars this past Sunday, Kincaid logged five targets (tied for second on the team) en route to catching three passes for 28 yards and a TD.

Kincaid (knee/calf) was limited at practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Kincaid was also listed as limited in Tuesday's walk-through practice, which gives the tight end one more opportunity to work fully before the Bills assign injury designations for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Broncos. Assuming Kincaid is available for the contest, he figures to remain a focal point in a Buffalo pass-catching corps that's been thinned-out by injuries to WRs Joshua Palmer (ankle), Tyrell Shavers (knee) and Gabe Davis (knee).

Kincaid was a limited participant in Tuesday's walk-through practice due to knee and calf injuries.
EDGE Analysis
Kincaid has been listed on injury reports with the knee issue dating back to Week 16, but the calf injury may be the greater concern for the tight end as Saturday's divisional-round game versus the Broncos approaches. He was able to make an impact in a wild-card win over the Jaguars this past weekend with three catches for 45 yards and a touchdown on five targets, but he was spotted in a walking boot following the game. Head coach Sean McDermott indicated that Kincaid was donning the boot merely as a precaution, however, providing some optimism that the 26-year-old will still be able to suit up in Denver.

Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Kincaid (lower leg) wearing a walking boot after Sunday's 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round was "precautionary," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott said Kincaid "should be fine" for Saturday's upcoming divisional-round road matchup against the Broncos, per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, but the third-year tight end's activity level at practice will be worth monitoring. Kincaid secured three of five targets for 28 yards and one touchdown versus Jacksonville, which was the sixth time across the 2025 campaign that he and quarterback Josh Allen have connected for a receiving score. The 28 offensive snaps Kincaid handled versus the Jaguars marks his largest workload since Week 5 of the regular season.

Kincaid caught three of five targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 27-24 win over the Jaguars in the wild-card round Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year tight end connected with Josh Allen on a 15-yard TD midway through the fourth quarter, part of a wild sequence in which the two teams got into the end zone on four straight drives as they traded the lead back and forth. It was Kincaid's second score in six career playoff games, and his first score since Week 14 this season as he played sparingly down the stretch. Kincaid appears full healthy, however, as the Bills await their opponent in the divisional round.

Kincaid (knee) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's wild-card game in Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
Kincaid has been dealing with a knee injury from time to time since at least Week 14 prep, but he missed only one contest during that span, a Week 17 matchup with the Eagles. In the other four appearances since then, he combined for a 10-123-1 line on 13 targets. Kincaid followed up a limited walkthrough Wednesday and capped practice Thursday with all activity Friday, meaning he should be good for his typical share of snaps alongside fellow TE Dawson Knox.

Coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that he doesn't expect Kincaid (knee) to carry an injury designation for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kincaid was listed as limited on practice reports Wednesday and Thursday as he continues to manage a knee issue. However, the tight end appears to be on track to be active versus Jacksonville barring any issues at Friday's practice, an outcome that would be cemented if he indeed heads into the weekend without an injury designation.

Kincaid (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kincaid also was limited Wednesday, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that he won't be available for Sunday's playoff opener against the Jaguars. Either way, Friday's final injury report is set to clarify whether the Bills' top tight end approaches the contest with an injury designation.
