Will Dalton Kincaid play today? Latest injury status, update for Bills tight end
When the Buffalo Bills take the field on Sunday, they'll do so without a top target on offense.
Tight end Dalton Kincaid, who has been on the ascent in his third year in the NFL, will not suit up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.
Kincaid exited the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Miami Dolphins with the ailment, and Buffalo brass officially ruled out the pass catcher on Friday.
The matchup is a deceptively crucial one for the Bills. With the New England Patriots taking a win over the New York Jets on "Thursday Night Football" to open Week 11, Buffalo needs every win it can get to keep pace with their upstart division rivals.
That said, they'll have to do it without the team's leading touchdown scorer. Here's what to know about Kincaid's injury status for Sunday:

Is Dalton Kincaid playing today?
No, Dalton Kincaid will not play in Week 11 vs. the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The third-year tight end was ruled out with a hamstring injury on Nov. 15.
The Bills tight end was injured in Week 10 vs. the Miami Dolphins. He was initially listed as questionable to return, but was downgraded to out ahead of the fourth quarter.
Dalton Kincaid injury update
Kincaid did not practice all week, leaving little surprise that he wouldn't suit up for the Week 11 tilt vs. the NFC South-leading Bucs.
Kincaid injured his hamstring in the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Dolphins and did not return to the matchup.
While hamstrings can be tricky, Kincaid has not been placed on the Injured Reserve (IR) list, a potential sign for his Week 12 availability. Had the tight end hit IR, he would have been sidelined for a minimum of four games.
However, a return may be more likely for Week 13: The Bills travel to Houston on a short week for "Thursday Night Football" following their Week 11 matchup. Buffalo will likely not want to rush the top target back on a short ramp-up period.
Bills TE depth chart
With Kincaid out, here's how the tight end room stacks up in Week 11:
Dawson Knox
Jackson Hawes
Dalton Kincaid (OUT)
Knox, another favorite of quarterback Josh Allen, will be the primary tight end for the Bills on Sunday. Knox enters the matchup with just 18 targets on the season, half of Kincaid's (36).
Hawes, a rookie, has two touchdowns on the season, potentially alleviating some red-zone concerns in Kincaid's absence.
