Bills HC: Damar Hamlin, Curtis Samuel Week-to-Week with Hamstring, Toe Injuries

As they enter the final week of the preseason, the Buffalo Bills have multiple players who are banged up.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced that safety Damar Hamlin (hamstring) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (turf toe) are considered week-to-week amid the team's other injuries:

Neither Samuel nor Hamlin played in Buffalo's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers this past Saturday. The Bills earned a 9-3 win to improve their preseason record to 1-1 ahead of this Saturday's finale against the Carolina Panthers.

An eight-year veteran who began his career with the Panthers, Samuel is in his first year with the Bills after spending the last three seasons with the Washington Commanders. He signed a three-year deal with Buffalo in March and is expected to be a key part of the offense following the departure of star receiver Stefon Diggs, who was traded to the Houston Texans this offseason.

Unfortunately, the preseason has not been kind to the Bills. In addition to Hamlin and Samuel's respective injuries, veteran receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling suffered a neck injury against the Steelers and was removed from the game. Former Pro Bowl linebacker Matt Milano is out indefinitely after suffering a torn biceps during practice last week. Buffalo also released veteran receiver Chase Claypool from injured reserve via an injury settlement.

The Bills are hoping to finally break through and make it to the Super Bowl this season after years of consistently being in contention. The team will need to get healthy if it hopes to keep pace in the competitive AFC in 2024.
