Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) was not present at practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week after injuring his knee in the Week 10 win over the Indianapolis Colts.

Miami Dolphins wide receivers coach Wes Welker said that wideout Tyreek Hill's performance is not being affected by his wrist injury.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Gabe Davis (shoulder) remains on the team's injury report for Week 11 and was listed as limited in the first practice of the week on Wednesday.
