Bills Lose Dalton Kincaid to Hamstring Injury in Frustrating Battle Against Dolphins
The Buffalo Bills’ matchup against the Miami Dolphins turned into a night of both concern and frustration — especially for fans watching tight end Dalton Kincaid’s early exit. Things started off shaky for Buffalo, and as the game unfolded, it only got tougher.
Kincaid, who has been one of the Bills’ most reliable offensive weapons this season, began the day active and ready to play. He had suited up, looked healthy, and was expected to be a big part of the team’s game plan. But even early on, he wasn’t being targeted much. In the first quarter, Josh Allen’s only completed pass to a tight end went to Dawson Knox, while another throw aimed downfield was intended for rookie Jackson Hawes. Kincaid, despite his usual energy and movement, was unusually quiet.

Through the first half, Buffalo’s offense just couldn’t find its rhythm. They gave up the first score to Miami, missed on a fourth-down attempt, and struggled with a couple of early injuries. The energy in the stadium clearly favored the Dolphins. Still, by the time the second half rolled around, Kincaid began to show flashes of why he’s been such a key player — two catches, 37 yards, and the type of presence that often helps spark Buffalo’s drives.
Unfortunately, things took a turn in the third quarter. While running a route, Kincaid suddenly pulled up short and grabbed the back of his right leg — the universal sign no athlete or fan ever wants to see. Trainers immediately came out, and after a quick sideline evaluation, Kincaid was escorted to the locker room. The Bills later confirmed that he had suffered a hamstring injury and was officially ruled out for the rest of the game.
That was a major blow. Coming into Week 10, Kincaid led all Bills receivers in yards, touchdowns, and big plays. He’d been the spark in an offense that needed consistency. Losing him left Buffalo thin at tight end, with only Knox and Hawes available to step up.
To make things even more interesting, reports surfaced that the Bills had recently tried to make a big move before the trade deadline — they’d offered Miami a first-round pick for wide receiver Jaylen Waddle, but the Dolphins declined. It was a sign that Buffalo knows their passing game needs help.
Now, with Kincaid’s injury, that concern becomes even more urgent. Whether this hamstring issue sidelines him for more than this game remains to be seen, but for the Bills, it’s one more challenge in a season already full of them. For now, all eyes will be on Kincaid’s recovery — and on how Buffalo adjusts without one of their brightest offensive stars.
