Bills quarterback Josh Allen will be down two weapons for Monday Night Football.

Tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) and wide receiver Curtis Samuel (neck/ribs) are inactive. Both were questionable to play against the Falcons.

Kincaid had limited practices all three days, and Samuel was limited two days and out for one.

Kincaid is the team leader with 287 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns on 24 catches, while Samuel has contributed four catches for 35 yards and a touchdown.

The Bills' other inactives are linebacker Matt Milano (pectoral), linebacker Jimmy Ciarlo and offensive lineman Chase Lundt.

The Bills elevated safety Jordan Poyer and defensive tackle Jordan Phillips from the practice squad for the game.

The Falcons won't have wide receiver Darnell Mooney (hamstring), wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III, cornerback Clark Phillips III (triceps/illness), running back Nathan Carter, cornerback Billy Bowman (knee/hamstring), defensive lineman LaCale London (triceps) and offensive lineman Jack Nelson.

After firing Brian Callahan earlier on Monday, the Titans have found his replacement for the rest of 2025.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Tennessee will name Mike McCoy its interim head coach.

McCoy, 53, joined the Titans as a senior offensive assistant earlier this year. The Chargers head coach from 2013-2016, McCoy has since served as the Broncos offensive coordinator (2017), the Cardinals offensive coordinator (2018), and the Jaguars quarterbacks coach (2022-2024).

McCoy accumulated a 27-37 record with the Chargers during their last four seasons in San Diego.

A former pro quarterback, McCoy went undrafted out of Utah in 1995, spending time with the Broncos, Packers, 49ers, Eagles, and Seahawks in the league. He got into coaching with the Panthers in 2000 as an offensive assistant, eventually working his way up to passing game coordinator and QBs coach. He was hired as Broncos offensive coordinator in 2009, sticking with the organization until the Chargers hired him in 2013.

Now, McCoy will need to work to develop this year’s No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward as best he can through the rest of the season.

Lions safety Brian Branch has been suspended without pay for one game for his actions at the end of Sunday's loss to the Chiefs.

After quarterback Patrick Mahomes took a final kneel down, Branch went behind the line of scrimmage and struck Kansas City receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster in the facemask with an open hand, inciting a fracas between the two teams.

Head coach Dan Campbell apologized in his postgame press conference for Branch's actions. Branch also apologized, calling his actions “childish.”

NFL VP of football operations Jon Runyan issued the suspension for unsportsmanlike conduct.

“Your aggressive, non-football act was entirely unwarranted, posed a serious risk of injury, and clearly violated the standards of conduct and sportsmanship expected of NFL players,” Runyan wrote in a letter to Branch. “Your conduct reflected poorly on the NFL and has no place in our game.”

Branch may appeal the suspension, which would be heard and decided upon by Derrick Brooks, Ramon Foster, or Jordy Nelson.

Branch has a history of being fined for conduct, as he had already been handed three fines in the 2025 season. He was fined seven times in 2024.

Pending appeal, Branch is eligible to return to the Lions’ roster on Tuesday, Oct. 21, after Detroit’s Monday night matchup with Tampa Bay in Week 7.
