Bills place wide receiver on injured reserve hours before Monday Night Football
The Bills placed Joshua Palmer on injured reserve Monday, sidelining the receiver for at least four games after he injured his hamstring against Baltimore.
The Buffalo Bills placed wide receiver Joshua Palmer on injured reserve just hours before their Monday Night Football game against the Minnesota Vikings. The injury is likely to sideline Palmer for at least four games. Palmer suffered the hamstring injury during Buffalo's 36-10 win over the Baltimore Ravens on November 1 and did not practice the following week.
Despite Bills coach Joe Brady stating Palmer was not a candidate for injured reserve at that time, he was placed on IR. Palmer pulled up while running a deep route in the first quarter against Baltimore, was assisted off the field, and was ruled out for the rest of the game. This adds to Palmer's injury woes, as he previously missed Buffalo's Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a shoulder injury.
Palmer has four receptions for 117 yards and two touchdowns in six games this season. He will miss Monday's game against Minnesota, Sunday's match against the New York Jets, Buffalo's November 22 game against the Miami Dolphins, and the Thanksgiving night game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The earliest he could return is Sunday, December 6, during Week 13's game against the New England Patriots.
Additionally, the Bills promoted wide receiver Trent Sherfield Sr. and safety Geno Stone from the practice squad to bolster their receiving corps.
