Patriots' Reggie Gilliam: Won't play against Las Vegas
Rotowire
Gilliam (ankle/knee) has been ruled out against the Raiders on Sunday.
Gilliam was able to play through an ankle injury that he picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills, but he ended Week 5 prep with back-to-back DNPs while dealing with that issue and a new knee injury. The Patriots don't have another fullback on the active roster nor the practice squad, so they could turn to tight ends like Eli Raridon, Cameron Latu and Tanner Arkin to serve as backfield blockers in Gilliam's absence. Gilliam's next chance to suit up is Week 6 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 18.

Rotowire
Gilliam (ankle) did not participate at the Patriots' practice Thursday.
Gilliam opened the week as a limited participant Wednesday, but he took a step backwards one day later. The fullback is nursing an ankle injury that he suffered in the team's Week 4 win over the Bills, and he'll have one more chance to practice before Sunday's contest versus Las Vegas.

Patriots' Reggie Gilliam: Questionable for Week 4
Rotowire
Gilliam (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Phil Perry of NBC Sports Boston reports.
Gilliam has been working through a knee injury the past couple of weeks, but he's drawn the questionable tag for Week 4 after fading such a designation for Week 3 against the Jaguars. He's contributed on special teams and has worked mostly as a blocker on offense, so if Gilliam is not cleared to play against the Bills, then the Patriots may turn to tight ends like Cameron Latu or Eli Raridon (thigh) to block out of the backfield.

Patriots' Reggie Gilliam: Still working through knee issue
Rotowire
Gilliam (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Gilliam was able to play in the Patriots' Week 3 loss to the Jaguars after working through a knee issue during practice prep. He played a total of 19 snaps (eight on offense, 11 on special teams) without showing up on the box score otherwise. Gilliam will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation for Sunday's AFC East tilt against the Bills.

Patriots' Reggie Gilliam: Ready for Sunday
Rotowire
Gilliam (knee) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Gilliam was limited in all three Week 3 practice sessions. The fullback sustained a knee injury during the Patriots' Week 2 win over the Steelers, but it won't stop the 29-year-old from suiting up for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Gilliam has seen 33 offensive snaps and 26 special-teams snaps through two games in 2026.

Rotowire
Gilliam (knee) was a limited participant at the Patriots' practice Wednesday.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Logs 21 snaps in Week 6
Rotowire
Gilliam went without a carry or target while playing 21 of the Bills' 57 offensive snaps in Monday's 24-14 loss to the Falcons.
Gilliam was credited with his second start of the season since he was on the field for the Bills' first play, but he was still limited to just 37 percent of the offensive snaps even though Buffalo leaned into more heavy packages with tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) inactive for the contest. The Bills will continue to deploy Gilliam almost exclusively as a blocker anytime he's on the field; the fullback has yet to draw a target or carry the ball through six games and was limited to just three touches for the entire 2024 season.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Suits up vs. Giants
Rotowire
Gilliam (groin) secured his only target for 19 yards during Saturday's 35-24 preseason loss to the Giants.
Gilliam had been managing a groin injury, but he was healthy enough to suit up for preseason action Saturday and connect with quarterback Mitchell Trubisky for a 19-yard gain in the second quarter. The fullback appeared in 15 regular-season games with Buffalo in 2024, though he only logged three carries for seven yards in that span.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Working through groin injury
Rotowire
Gilliam did not participate in Sunday's training camp practice due to a groin injury, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.
Gilliam may have picked up the injury during Friday's practice session, and he'll be held out as a precaution to avoid aggravation. The Bills don't have any other fullback on the roster, but if Gilliam were to miss Saturday's preseason opener against the Giants, Buffalo could opt to use tight ends Jackson Hawes, Zach Davidson or Matt Sokol as backfield blockers in run schemes.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Won't play Week 10
Rotowire
Gilliam (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Gilliam has been limited in practice all week due to a hip injury, and the issue is serious enough for the 27-year-old fullback to be sidelined for a second straight game. With Gilliam sidelined Sunday, the Bills may utilize tight ends Dawson Knox and Quintin Morris more in run-blocking schemes.

Rotowire
Gilliam (hip) was estimated as a limited participant for Buffalo's walk-through practice Wednesday.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Won't play Sunday
Rotowire
Head coach Sean McDermott said that Gilliam (hip) won't play in Sunday's game against the Dolphins, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
Gilliam was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice before not taking any reps Thursday, so the Bills' decision to rule him out isn't especially surprising. The fullback has played primarily on special teams this season and has yet to receive a carry or draw a target over his 35 snaps on offense.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Limited to special teams
Rotowire
Gilliam played all 26 of his snaps on special teams in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
For the first time all season, Gilliam didn't take the field on offense as the Bills went without a fullback. The Bills hadn't featured Gilliam much on offense prior to Week 7, as he hadn't exceeded seven snaps in any of the previous six games and didn't carry the ball or draw a target.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: No touches in blowout win
Rotowire
Gilliam played seven of the Bills' 64 snaps on offense and went without a carry or target in the team's 47-10 win over the Jaguars on Monday.
The fullback has now taken the field for three, five and seven snaps on offense over the first three games of the season and has yet to earn a touch as a ballcarrier or pass catcher. He'll continue to serve mostly as a lead blocker and special-teams contributor whenever he takes the field.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Nearing return
Rotowire
Gilliam (groin) should return to practice this week, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.
Gilliam first missed practice Monday and then was unable to take the field for the remainder of the week, including the team's preseason game against the Colts on Saturday. Although it's still not clear exactly when he'll return, it appears the Toledo product will be back in action sooner rather than later.

Bills' Reggie Gilliam: Full go Thursday
Rotowire
Gilliam (ankle) was a full participant during practice Thursday, and he does not carry a game status ahead of Saturday's contest versus Miami.
Gilliam did not practice Week 14 due to an ankle injury, causing him to miss his first game of the season Sunday against the Jets. The fullback then worked his way back as a limited participant during practice Tuesday and Wednesday, and he'll be good to go again for Saturday's divisional matchup. Gilliam has not recorded an offensive statistic since Week 6, though he should reprise his roles as a core special-teamer and blocker in the run game.
