Should the Buffalo Bills have injuries that alter their lineup, it might be helpful to know who is available as the next man up. To do that, here’s a look at who’s in uniform today and who is sitting this 2026 season opener out.
The Bills have defensive back Dorian Strong on the Non-Football Injury list, and also wide receiver Tyrell Shavers on Physically Unable to Perform as he rehabs from an ACL tear he suffered in last season’s AFC Wild Card game. Defensive tackle Phidairan Mathis is on the Reserve/Suspended list until September 28 and not eligible to play before Week 4.
As for the Texans, here’s a look at their inactives for today.
In addition to their inactives, the Texans have Kayden McDonald, Tank Dell, Jayden Higgins, Sam Hagen, Braden Smith, Solomon Byrd, Ali Gaye, M.J. Stewart, E.J. Speed, Ja’Marcus Ingram, Dylan Horton, K.C. Cossai, and Graham Mertz on Injured Reserve.

BUFFALO BILLS INJURIES
S Cole Bishop – left knee, probable to return
Bishop went down in a pile of blue. Trainers had to come to the field before Bishop was on his feet and limping to the sideline. A trip to the blue medical tent followed, and then Bishop was seen looking to be working some stiffness out on the sideline.
He missed the rest of the defensive series, but good news came from the Bills’ PR team.
WR DJ Moore – in medical tent Back in game.
As the game ticked down close to the two-minute warning, game announcers said that Moore was in the blue medical tent. The Buffalo wide receiver appeared to get rolled up on as the Bills scrambled to cover a James Cook fumble. Moore has a 100+ yard game in his Bills’ debut, so he’s much needed as the Bills try to take the game from the Texans who lead by one.

HOUSTON TEXANS INJURIES
LB Henry To’oTo’o – in medical tent
The Texas linebacker walked off the field under his own power after Houston trainers attended to him on the field. To’oTo’o was the second man in on a tackle of Dawson Knox.
