Week 8 of the 2023 NFL season kicked off with the Buffalo Bills topping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-18 on “Thursday Night Football.” The Bills were without tight end Dawson Knox, who was placed on injured reserve following wrist surgery. His replacement, rookie Dalton Kincaid, filled in nicely with five catches for 65 yards and a touchdown.

In other Week 8 injury news, New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll announced on Friday that quarterback Daniel Jones will miss his third straight game and it will be Tyrod Taylor facing the New York Jets. Jones had been listed as questionable all week.

Daboll said the team will see how Jones feels next week before deciding on his availability for Week 9.

P.J Walker will get the start again for the Cleveland Browns’ game against the Seattle Seahawks. Quarterback DeShaun Watson continues to deal with a shoulder injury.

“I just feel like with what happened in the game, landing on his shoulder, there’s residual swelling that’s affecting his throwing,” said Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. “I think it’s the best thing for him to rest this week and focus on his rehab.”

For the Arizona Cardinals, Kyler Murray was removed from their injury report this week after suffering a torn ACL last December. The news doesn’t mean Murray will start Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens, but it does signify that he is closer to returning to action.
