The Buffalo Bills will face the Minnesota Vikings in a major “Monday Night Football” matchup in week 9. Head coach Joe Brady has already ruled out one player for the contest.
After Saturday’s practice, Brady said wide receiver Joshau Plamer is out. Plamer suffered a hamstring injury against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 8.
Plamer has appeared in six games this season, recording four receptions for 117 yards and two scores.
Buffalo Signed Palmer Last Offseason
The Bills signed Palmer to a three-year, $30 million contract last offseason, and so far, almost two seasons in, it hasn’t gone well for the 27-year-old receiver.
Palmer battled an injury bug last season, dealing with ankle issues that kept him out for six games. The Bills placed him on injured reserve after they beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card game last season, ending his playoff journey.
Palmer’s injury bug struck again in Week 5 of this season when he suffered a shoulder injury in practice ahead of the Monday night game against the Los Angeles Rams, causing him to miss the action.
