Hyde logged six total tackles (all solo) in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Eagles.
The veteran safety had been dealing with a neck issue throughout the week, but he was able to suit up Sunday, and he tied Jordan Poyer and Taron Johnson for Buffalo's leading tackler. Hyde tied his season-high in tackles in Week 12, bringing his season total up to 44 tackles through 11 appearances. The All-Pro safety has also tallied five pass deflections and two interceptions on the year, and he'll continue to be a playmaker on the Bills' defense as the season goes on.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Cleared for Sunday
Rotowire
Hyde (neck/stinger) practiced fully Friday and is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game in Philadelphia, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Hyde suffered the injury in last week's win over the Jets and was limited to begin the week, but he's now set to start in his usual safety spot. Fellow safety Taylor Rapp has already been ruled out for Week 12 with a neck injury, so Hyde's presence is key as he and longtime teammate Jordan Poyer try to slow Philadelphia's elite offense.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Limited for Wednesday's walkthrough
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) will be a limited participant at the Bills' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Hyde sustained a stinger in Buffalo's win versus the Jets in Week 11, and now his status for Week 12 appears to be in jeopardy. Unless he's able to upgrade to a full practice Thursday or Friday, he'll probably carry an injury designation into the weekend.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Won't play Monday
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Broncos.
Hyde was unable to participate in practice leading up to Week 10. Taylor Rapp took over for Hyde in Week 9 against the Bengals and should be in line to start at free safety alongside Jordan Poyer.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Misses Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
The 32-year-old safety missed Buffalo's first practice of the week with a neck injury that he suffered during the team's Week 9 loss to Cincinnati. Luckily for Hyde, the Bills have an extra day of rest this week with their game falling on Monday night, so even after recording a DNP on Thursday, he'll have a chance to suit up for Week 10.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Ready to play at Washington
Rotowire
Hyde (hamstring) was a full participant at practice Friday and does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at the Commanders.
Hyde picked up a hamstring injury during Buffalo's win versus Las Vegas in Week 2, but he's apparently already put it past him before the Bills' matchup at Washington in Week 3. He'll resume his regular starting role at safety next to Jordan Poyer.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Dealing with hamstring injury
Rotowire
Hyde left Sunday's win over the Raiders early due to a hamstring injury.
Hyde recorded five tackles (two solo) before exiting. The Bills were in command nearly all game long, so Hyde's departure may have been precautionary.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Limited at practice Thursday
Rotowire
Hyde (back) was a limited participant at practice Thursday ahead of Monday night's Week 1 game at the Jets, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
The issue with his back apparently just cropped up within the last few days, but it's evidently not severe enough to keep Hyde off the field entirely. It's possible Buffalo is just playing things safe with the veteran Pro Bowler, who missed 15 full regular-season games and two postseason contests in 2022 due to a neck issue. However, if the back injury proves severe enough to keep him out Week 1, it could clear a path for Damar Hamlin to start.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Ruled out for divisional round
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) won't play in Sunday's divisional-round matchup against Cincinnati, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
As expected, Hyde will remain out for back-to-back games to start the postseason with a neck injury that has kept him on injured reserve since Week 2. The Bills did open his 21-day practice window ahead of wild-card weekend, but it's unclear if he'll be able to play again this season. Dean Marlowe figures to start at free safety alongside Jordan Poyer against Joe Burrow and the Bengals' terrific passing attack.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Ruled out for wild-card round
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Hyde will not be available for this weekend's game versus Miami, and he will also remain out next week if the Bills advance. The safety has been on injured reserve since late September after sustaining a neck injury, and although his 21-day practice window has been opened, there's no guarantee he will return at any point in the postseason.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Undergoes successful surgery
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) recently underwent successful surgery to repair a herniated disc and is facing a 6-to-9-month recovery timeline, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
After being placed on injured reserve Sept. 24, Hyde will miss the remainder of the season while he recovers from surgery, which is expected to stabilize his neck moving forward. The 31-year-old will likely be available for most of next year's training camp, if not all of it, barring any setbacks. In his absence, Damar Hamlin will continue to operate as the Bills' starting free safety.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Officially on IR
Rotowire
Buffalo placed Hyde (neck) on its injured reserve list Saturday.
Hyde is expected to miss the remainder of the 2022 season with a neck injury he sustained in Week 2, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. At the very least, he'll now be required to miss at least the next four weeks. With the Bills' other starting safety, Jordan Poyer (foot), now also dealing with an injury, safeties Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin will be asked to take a major step up moving forward.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Ruled out for Week 3
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hyde didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Jordan Poyer (foot) also could end up sitting out Week 3 after missing Thursday's practice, so Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin are both on deck for increased roles against Miami's new-look passing attack that diced up Baltimore's secondary Week 2.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Still not practicing Thursday
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports.
Hyde has missed consecutive practices to begin the week, which doesn't bode well for his potential availability Sunday against the Dolphins. The starting free safety will have one more opportunity to get on the practice field Friday, while backup safeties Jaquan Johnson and Damar Hamlin could be thrust into action if Hyde and/or Jordan Poyer (foot) end up sitting out in Week 3.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Leaves Monday's contest
Rotowire
Hyde left Monday night's game against the Titans due to a neck injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
The Bills are blowing out the Titans, but it's going to come with a cost, as a handful of key players have suffered injuries throughout the night. Even if Hyde's injury is minor, there's almost no chance he'll be returning to such a lopsided game. Hyde's status for the Week 3 divisional battle in Miami is of greater importance for the team.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Big game in big win
Rotowire
Hyde posted six tackles and two interceptions in Sunday's win over the Patriots.
The interceptions put Hyde up to five on the season, tied with Jordan Poyer for the team lead. Both players sit inside the top 20 among safeties in standard IDP scoring, boosted by Buffalo's aggressive defense, one that focuses on trying to generate turnovers.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Ready to go for Week 2
Rotowire
Hyde (neck) is not listed on the Bills' injury report ahead of Sunday's contest with the Dolphins, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Hyde was limited in practice Thursday and Friday with a neck injury, but he appears good to go for Sunday. The veteran safety registered six tackles and one pass defensed in the opener against the Steelers.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Clears concussion protocol
Rotowire
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Hyde has cleared the league's concussion protocol, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Hyde was a full participant in Thursday's practice, so it looks like he's all set to slot into his usual starting role at safety during Sunday's game against the Seahawks. His presence across from Jordan Poyer will be key as Buffalo looks to accomplish the tall task of slowing down Russell Wilson.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Out for Week 8
Rotowire
Hyde (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Hyde obviously could not clear the concussion protocol in time, while Dean Marlowe and Jaquan Johnson will now see more work against New England. The Bills also have a few hybrid types who can help backfill Hyde's normal duties, though, to be clear, his loss is a notable one for a Buffalo defense that's already struggled at times in 2020.

Bills' Micah Hyde: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Hyde (concussion) did not practice for the third straight day Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Coach Sean McDermott hasn't ruled Hyde out yet, so we suppose he'll have one more shot to clear the final stage of the concussion protocol. The starting safety is familiar enough with the scheme that, if cleared, he could handle a full workload without any practice time.
