Top Josh Palmer News

  • Bills' Joshua Palmer: Won't play in Week 5

    Palmer (shoulder) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Rams, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

    Palmer popped up on Friday's injury report as a limited participant due to a shoulder issue, which appears to be severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. With DJ Moore (shoulder) listed as questionable, the Bills' top pass catching options could be Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman and Dalton Kincaid, and rookie Skyler Bell is expected to make his NFL debut after being a healthy scratch in each of the first four games of the regular season, per Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Palmer's next chance to play is Week 6 against the Raiders on Sunday, Oct. 18.

  • Bills' Joshua Palmer: Finds end zone again

    Palmer caught one of three targets for a 43-yard touchdown in Thursday's 41-31 win over the Lions.

    Palmer didn't score at all last season in his first campaign with the Bills, but he's now found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. He's hauled in just one pass in each of the first two games, but he could see more looks if DJ Moore's shoulder injury puts him on the shelf for a stint. Palmer, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman would likely work as the main wide-receiver trio if Moore can't suit up in Week 3 against the Chargers.

  • Bills' Joshua Palmer: Produces game-winning TD

    Palmer caught one of his two targets for a 34-yard touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.

    Palmer's only targets in Week 1 came on the last two offensive plays of the game for the Bills. Josh Allen missed the wide receiver on a deep ball he couldn't quite react to before delivering a laser between Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock to Palmer for what ended up being the game-winning touchdown. Palmer's 18 offensive snaps prove the wide receiver has some week-to-week upside despite not being a primary option in Buffalo's offense.

  • Bills' Joshua Palmer: Outside top three on depth chart

    The Bills list all of DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir and Keon Coleman (foot) ahead of Palmer on their unofficial depth chart for Week 1 posted Tuesday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports.

    During his first season in Buffalo in 2025, Palmer produced a 22-303-0 receiving line on 37 targets over his 12 appearances before missing both of the team's playoff contests due to an ankle injury. Though he was declared fully healthy ahead of training camp, Palmer looks like he may have been surpassed in the pecking order at receiver by Coleman, a 2024 second-round pick who showed promise as a rookie but fell out of favor with the Bills toward the end of the past season. While the Bills retained most of their offensive coaching staff from 2025 with Joe Brady getting promoted from coordinator to head coach after Sean McDermott was dismissed, Coleman appears to be entering the upcoming season with a clean slate and could be prioritized ahead of Palmer, whose need as a vertical threat had already been lessened following the acquisition of Moore.

  • Bills' Joshua Palmer: Feeling healthy ahead of new season

    After working off to the side during OTAs, Palmer (ankle) has been back as a participant during mandatory minicamp, Alec White and Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site report. "I'm feeling a lot better, starting to feel a lot more like myself," Palmer said after Wednesday's practice. "(I'm) close to pre-injury."

    Palmer was plagued by the injury for a good chunk of the 2025 season in and out of the lineup and ended up missing both of the team's playoff games, but he's feeling much better as prep for the new campaign gets underway. After posting a disappointing 22-303-0 line in his first season with the Bills, Palmer should be able to play more and do more in his next go-around. However, with DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid and James Cook all ahead of him in the pecking order, Palmer's upside is probably capped unless the Bills get struck with a number of injuries to their passing game.

  • Bills' Joshua Palmer: Does side work during Day 2 of OTAs

    Palmer (ankle) spent most of Tuesday's OTA session working to the side, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Palmer missed Buffalo's two postseason games last season after he was placed on IR due to an ankle injury. It appears he's not quite at 100 percent yet given his limitation to mostly side work Tuesday. However, there's no indication at this point that Palmer is at risk of not being ready for Week 1 of the upcoming regular season.
