Tyler Bass returns as Bills' kicker after injury recovery

Tyler Bass is set to reclaim his role as the Buffalo Bills' kicker for the 2026 season after missing all of 2025 due to a core muscle injury. He has returned to practice and successfully completed seven kicks in a recent public session. While veteran Matt Prater filled in admirably last season, connecting on 90% of his field goal attempts, Bass’s performance will be critical for the team's kicking game. The Bills are focused on ensuring Bass is physically and mentally prepared for the upcoming season. His previous inconsistency in Highmark Stadium, influenced by wind patterns, will be monitored as he aims to stabilize his kicking under game conditions.
