The Buffalo Bills and New York Jets experienced a series of injury concerns during their Week 10 contest on Nov. 15, 2026.
Buffalo Bills outside linebacker Greg Rousseau required attention from trainers on the sideline for a knee injury but ultimately returned to play, according to Sal Capaccio.
Bills nickelback Dee Alford also faced significant health challenges during the game.
Alford was initially evaluated for a head injury in the second quarter after a hit sent him to the medical tent, though he was cleared to return by the Buffalo Bills PR team.
Later, the defensive back appeared to strike his head again while making an interception and was seen walking under his own power straight to the locker room, reported Jon Scott.
The Jets also dealt with several player health issues throughout the afternoon.
Quarterback Geno Smith was evaluated for a concussion after going down on the field, as noted by Sal Capaccio.
The team later confirmed that Geno Smith has cleared protocol and returned to the game.
New York wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. was ruled out for the remainder of the contest due to an ankle injury.
This marked the third time this season the rookie wide receiver left a game to have his ankle examined, according to Glenn Naughton.
Additionally, Jets starting left guard Dylan Parham was listed as questionable to return after suffering a knee injury.
Parham was observed walking gingerly to the medical tent under his own power, as reported by Dennis Waszak Jr.
The Jets offense also saw wide receiver Isaiah Williams head to the medical tent during the first half of the game, per Connor Hughes.
Both teams continued to monitor their rosters throughout the game as players were ruled out or returned to action.
