Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Bass (pelvis) is "moving in the right direction" and hopes he'll be available for the team's preseason finale against Tampa Bay on Sat., Aug. 23, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bass will practice in a limited capacity Friday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports, but he'll sit out Sunday's preseason matchup against the Bears as Buffalo continues to take a cautious approach to his recovery. Caden Davis will continue to handle first-team kicker duties for the Bills until Bass is fully cleared.

Bass (pelvis) will not dress for the Bills' preseason opener against the Giants on Saturday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills signed Caden Davis on Friday, and he will handle the kicking duties for Saturday's preseason opener. Bass is working through a pelvic injury, and the veteran kicker will focus on recovering enough to be available for the Bills' second preseason game against the Bears on Sunday, Aug. 17.

Bass (pelvis) isn't practicing Thursday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Bass's status for Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants in doubt, Buffalo worked out two other kickers Wednesday and will likely sign one before Saturday, per Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News. Bass's job security isn't in question once healthy, as he spent the previous five seasons as Buffalo's kicker and converted at least 82.4 percent of regular-season field-goal attempts in every campaign.

Bass (pelvis) did not participate in Tuesday's practice session, Maddy Glab and Kay Racine of the Bills' official site report.

EDGE Analysis

Bass missed the Bills' first two practices of the week while working through a pelvic injury. Head coach Sean McDermott relayed Monday that the injury isn't serious, but the Bills may have to sign a kicker to the roster if Bass is unable to play in the team's preseason opener against the Giants on Aug. 9.

Bass did not practice Monday due to a pelvic injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Head coach Sean McDermott relayed Monday that Bass's injury doesn't appear to be serious, but it could cause the veteran kicker to miss Tuesday's practice. Bass is looking to improve on his 2024 season, when he connected on 24 of 29 field-goal attempts (including 4-for-4 on tries from 50-plus yards).

Bass made his only field-goal try and went 1-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Bass was able to make a 49-yard field goal with less than five minutes remaining in the first half, finishing the regular season having gone 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts over the team's final three contests. Bass did miss an extra-point try in the third quarter, which was his fifth miss of the season on a PAT. The kicker finished the regular season 24-for-29 on field-goal attempts while connecting on 59 of 64 extra-point tries over 17 games.

Bass made his lone field-goal attempt and all five of his extra-point tries during the Bills' 40-14 win over the Jets on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bass connected on a 39-yard field goal as time expired in the first half to give Buffalo a 12-0 lead, but his other five kicking attempts came after touchdowns as the Bills had no problem moving the ball on a porous Jets defense. Over his last three games, Bass has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-14 on extra-point tries.

Bass made his lone field-goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries during the Bills' 24-21 win over the Patriots on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Bass connected on a 50-yard field-goal midway through the third quarter to give the Bills their first lead of Sunday's AFC East clash. Bass is now 4-for-4 on field-goal tries from 50-plus yards, and through 15 regular-season games, he's gone 22-for-27 on field-goal attempts and 53-for-57 on extra-point tries. Bass will look to add to his tally in Week 17 when the Bills welcome in Aaron Rodgers and the Jets on Sunday.

Bass made two of his three field-goal tries and converted all six of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 48-42 win at Detroit.

EDGE Analysis

Bass missed a kick for the third time in his last four games in Week 15, this time pushing a field-goal attempt wide right from just 24 yards out. He's been less consistent overall this season than in years past, with five missed field-goal attempts from inside of 50 yards plus four missed extra points. He'll likely get a chance to bring his conversion rates back up when Buffalo hosts the Patriots' middling defense in Week 16, assuming the Buffalo weather holds up.

Bass converted all six of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 44-42 loss to the Rams. He did not have a field-goal attempt.

EDGE Analysis

If extra points was its own category, Bass's fantasy value in 2025 would be different, but his numbers have taken a slight hit due to Buffalo's ability to convert in the red zone -- the Bills are fifth in the league at 68.5 percent red-zone touchdown percentage. Bass has had only two field-goal attempts the last three games combined. To put it into perspective, Bass is second in the league with 48 extra-point attempts this season but is currently tied for just 17th with just 23 field-goal attempts. At least the scoring is adding up, even in smaller doses, as Bass sits tied for eighth in the league as of Sunday night with 101 points, meaning he's now hit the 100-point mark in all five of his NFL campaigns.
