Kumerow revealed Friday that it was a back injury that ended his season prematurely in November, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow underwent a microdiscectomy to trim a disc in his back and the injury forced his season to come to an end in November. The wide receiver was dealing with ankle injuries, but it was his back which ultimately shut him down for the year. Kumerow appeared in six games in 2022, reeling in four catches for 64 yards while operating on both offense and special teams.

Kumerow (ankle) was placed on the Bills' injured reserve Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow was forced out with an ankle injury during the Bills' Week 10 loss to Minnesota and was considered day-to-day after missing practice Wednesday. Now, the 30-year-old wideout will be forced to sit out until at least Week 15 against the Dolphins. Over six games, Kumerow caught four of his seven targets for 64 yards while playing 89 of his 160 snaps on offense, and his absence will leave Buffalo with just four available wide receivers on its active roster.

Kumerow (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow picked up the ankle injury during the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Vikings and may be sidelined for multiple weeks. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, but given the week-to-week designation, it appears likely the wideout will be held out for at least one additional contest.

EDGE Analysis
Kumerow suffered an ankle injury in the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Vikings and will be absent from practice to open the week. The wide receiver will still have two more chances to prove his health at practice this week before the Bills try and get back into the win column Sunday versus Cleveland.

Kumerow (ankle) is considered week-to-week, according to head coach Sean McDermott, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to the Vikings, and he also missed time earlier in the season with a high-ankle sprain. His practice status in the days ahead should shed a better light on his potential availability for Sunday against the Browns.

Kumerow was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Vikings with an ankle injury.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow previously missed three games in a row after sustaining a right high-ankle sprain during the Bills' Week 3 loss to the Dolphins. While it's unclear if he aggravated this issue against Minnesota, the veteran wideout will be sidelined for the remainder of the second half. Kumerow's next chance to play will come versus Cleveland on Sunday, Nov. 20.

Kumerow (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Kumerow logged a limited session during his first practice since suffering a high-ankle sprain during Buffalo's Week 3 loss to Miami. The veteran wideout will have two more opportunities to upgrade to a full participant before the Bills need to make a decision on his status for Sunday's primetime matchup against the Packers.

Kumerow (ankle) will practice Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per Brown, this will be Kumerow's first practice since he suffered a high-ankle sprain during Buffalo's Week 3 loss to Miami. His status for Sunday's primetime matchup against the Packers remains unclear, but it appears the veteran wideout could return to action against his former team. Before suffering the injury, Kumerow had secured four of five targets for 64 yards across his last 56 offensive snaps.

Kumerow (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Isaiah McKenzie will likely be back from a concussion, and rookie Khalil Shakir proved he was ready for the NFL action last week, so the Bills are somewhat covered for what could be a high-scoring battle with the Chiefs. Kumerow will have two weeks to get heathy, as the Bills have a bye in Week 7 before resuming play in a primetime Week 8 matchup against the Packers, Kumerow's previous team.
