  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Steady in starting role

    Rapp (hip) recorded 82 tackles (48 solo), two interceptions and a forced fumble over 14 regular-season games in 2024. Rapp was stuck on the depth chart behind Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde in 2023, but with their departures last offseason, Rapp was called on to be a regular starter in 2024. He played relatively well on a per-snap basis, but the time he missed due to injury kept him from making any huge waves in terms of raw stat totals. He's set to return to Buffalo in 2025, and his spot in the starting lineup could depend largely on whether the Bills are able to re-sign Damar Hamlin.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Ruled out to face Kansas City

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Rapp (hip/back) is ruled out for Sunday's road AFC Championship Game at Kansas City, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports. Rapp's absence will be a notable blow for Buffalo's secondary. This is a development that will likely require Cole Bishop to step up as a starter at safety alongside Damar Hamlin. Elsewhere for the Bills' defense, Christian Benford remains in the concussion protocol and missed Friday's practice due to personal reasons. Taron Johnson (neck/shoulder) and Matt Milano (hamstring/elbow), meanwhile, upgraded to full practice sessions.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Rapp (hip) did not participate in Thursday's practice. Rapp injured his hip during the Bills' divisional-round win against the Ravens, which has prevented him from participating in the first two practices of the week. A DNP on Friday wouldn't necessarily rule him out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, but participating in at least a limited capacity would indicate that he is progressing in his recovery. If Rapp is ultimately ruled out for Sunday's game, Cole Bishop would be the top candidate to start at safety next to Damar Hamlin.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Misses Wednesday's practice

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Rapp (hip/back) will not practice and remains day-to-day, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Rapp is dealing with a hip injury that forced him to depart Sunday's divisional-round win over the Ravens after playing just 33 percent of defensive snaps. The starting safety will have two more opportunities to upgrade his involvement at practice ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Kansas City, but if Rapp can't get healthy in time to face the Chiefs, Cole Bishop will likely be called upon to start alongside Damar Hamlin.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Considered day-to-day

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Rapp is considered day-to-day with a hip injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports. The veteran safety from Washington exited the Bills' divisional-round win over the Ravens due to a hip injury, and McDermott's comments Monday suggest he's got a chance to return for Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Kansas City. Rapp's practice participation throughout the week is likely to offer the best insight into whether he can return in time for Sunday's contest. If he's unable to go, expect Cole Bishop to start alongside Damar Hamlin in Buffalo's secondary.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Past neck issue

    Rapp (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots. Rapp was limited throughout the Bills' week of practice after playing through his neck injury in the Week 17 win over the Jets, and it now appears he'll continue to play through the issue Sunday. Buffalo has already clinched the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs and is expected to rest its starters for most of the Week 18 contest; however, head coach Sean McDermott stated Rapp will still play "a bit" Sunday, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Still dealing with neck injury

    Rapp (neck) was a limited participant at the Bills' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports. Rapp was able to play through his neck issue during Sunday's game versus the Jets, so it's likely Buffalo is simply taking a cautious approach ahead of Week 18. If he's able to log a full practice Thursday or Friday, he would likely go into the weekend without an injury designation.

    Rapp (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. Rapp has missed the Bills' past two contests due to neck and shoulder injuries, but he did get in a round of limited sessions this week, putting Rapp on track for a potential Week 17 return. Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop would be in line for extra reps once again if Rapp is unable to play.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Non-participant Wednesday

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Rapp (neck) will not practice, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports. Rapp played 100 percent of defensive snaps during Buffalo's loss to the Rams in Week 14, in which he tallied a season-high 13 tackles (eight solo), but he appears to have picked up a neck injury in the process.
