The Buffalo Bills faced a setback in their running back rotation during a decisive wild-card victory against the Denver Broncos, as rookie Ray Davis suffered a head injury. This occurred when he was targeted by quarterback Josh Allen, only to absorb a devastating helmet-to-helmet impact from safety Brandon Jones in the third quarter. Despite walking off the field, Davis was later ruled out of the game and placed in the concussion protocol.
Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that Davis is currently in this mandatory protocol, which requires him to complete a five-stage recovery process before he can return to play. In his brief NFL postseason debut, Davis had seven offensive snaps, contributing significantly during the regular season with 631 yards and six touchdowns.
The Bills, now gearing up for an AFC Divisional Round matchup against the Baltimore Ravens, have relied on a multifaceted backfield led by James Cook and Ty Johnson, with Davis emerging as a valuable asset this year. With a winning score of 31-7, the Bills are looking to build momentum in the playoffs.
