  • Bills' Ryan Bates: Will miss Week 15

    Bates (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game with the Dolphins, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Bates exited Sunday's win over the Jets with the injury, which was reported as a low-ankle sprain earlier in the week. He was expected to be day-to-day, but it appears that he ultimately may be more week-to-week with him being ruled out for Week 15's game with Miami already. In his absence, Greg Van Roten and Bobby Hart would be candidates to start at right guard.

  • Bills' Ryan Bates: May not miss time

    Head coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Bates (ankle) is day-to-day, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

    It was reported earlier Monday by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com that Bates suffered a low-ankle sprain, and it was not expected to be a long-term injury. He'll likely spend the week rehabbing his ankle while working to be able to suit up Saturday against the Dolphins. If he's unable to play, Greg Van Roten will likely handle the right guard position.

  • Bills' Ryan Bates: Dealing with sprain

    Bates suffered a low-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Jets, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Bates will have one less day to recover from the injury with the Bills playing Saturday this week. However, the good news is he dodged a more significant injury, and the amount of time he may miss should be minimal. He'll spend the the week ahead rehabbing his ankle while working to suit up Saturday against the Dolphins. If he is unable to play, Greg Van Roten will likely handle the starting role at right guard.

  • Bills' Ryan Bates: Enters concussion protocols

    Bates suffered a concussion in the Bills' 21-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Bates will need to clear protocols to be able to suit up Sunday against the Ravens. With Tommy Doyle (knee) out moving forward, and Mitch Morse (elbow) nursing an injury, the Bills offensive line is currently lacking healthy bodies. If Bates is unable to play Sunday, Greg Van Roten will likely draw the start at right guard.
