The Buffalo Bills lost two key starters for their Wild Card matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The Bills had several crucial injuries that hurt the team in the early season. The Bills have seen some significant starters return in time for the playoffs.
The Bills being able to avoid late-season health issues has played a major factor in their five-game winning streak to close out the regular season and claim the AFC East. Unfortunately for the Bills, wide receiver Gabe Davis suffered an injury against the Miami Dolphins in Week 18.
The Buffalo Bills rule two players out for Sunday
According to a statement by the Bills, the team ruled out Davis against the Steelers due to a PCL strain. The Bills will be without safety Taylor Rapp for the Wild Card game after he suffered a calf injury.

Rapp recorded a game-winning interception of Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in Week 18. Per a video post of the play posted by Banged Up Bills, Rapp appeared to be in pain after making the interception.

Rapp secures the game winning INT & lands on the ball.
Looked like more wind knocked out of him but always possible for rib involvement landing on the ball.
He did come up hobbled on one leg before going down again. Not sure what that was. pic.twitter.com/Wth327rFSf

Davis and Rapp did not participate in any of the three Bills’ practices this week. It’s unclear if they’d be back in time for the Divisional Round if the Bills were to defeat the Steelers on Sunday.
