Tyler Bass set to kick for Bills after nearly a year away
Summary

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is back on the field following hip surgery that sidelined him for the entire 2025 season. Although he has not attempted any field goals during training camp thus far, special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers confirmed that Bass has been practicing behind the scenes without any setbacks. The Bills plan to focus on field-goal protection in practice starting Thursday, with an opportunity for Bass to kick at their new Highmark Stadium during their Blue & Red practice on Saturday. This will mark his first experience kicking in the new venue and help prepare him for the upcoming season.
