The Buffalo Bills were able to snap an eight-game road losing streak in the playoffs, beating the Jacksonville Jaguars in a thrilling finish on Sunday.

But the 27-24 win may have cost the Bills an important member of their offense.

Wide receiver Gabe Davis was knocked out of the game after taking a hard hit to his leg on an incomplete pass. He was unable to put weight on the leg as he was helped off the field, then had to be carted to the locker room.

While the team did not announce a full prognosis for the veteran wide receiver, they got a potentially dire sign on Davis after the game.

Gabe Davis May Have Suffered Significant Injury

ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg reported after the game that Davis was seen in crutches after the game.

“Bills WR Gabe Davis left the locker room on crutches. A brace on his left leg,” Getzenberg shared in a post on X.

Davis also took to social media, sharing a post on Instagram that showed a zoomed-in image of his leg in a brace.

“Appreciate everybody reaching out, we gone shake back,” Davis wrote in the message.

The Bills parted ways with Davis following the 2023 season, allowing him to leave in free agency and join the Jaguars. He struggled, making 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns before suffering a season-ending knee injury.

Davis returned to the Bills but spent much of the season completing his rehab. The veteran receiver appeared in six games with five starts for the Bills, making 12 receptions for 129 yards and a touchdown.

If Davis were to miss upcoming games, the Bills could elevate veteran receiver Mecole Hardman from the practice squad to help fill the void.

Bills Suffer More Injuries

The Bills took some other key injuries during the win, including safety Jordan Poyer. He was knocked out of the game, forcing the Bills to turn to rookie safety Jordan Hancock.

Poyer was also hurt in the team’s Week 16 win over the Cleveland Browns, missing the final two games of the regular season before returning on Sunday. As SI.com’s Alex Brasky noted, Poyer is a key member of the secondary and has helped ground opposing air attacks.

“Poyer is one of the team’s two starters in the back end alongside Cole Bishop, with the duo helping lock down what has been the league’s top pass defense this season,” Brasky wrote. “The Bills have allowed just 156.9 yards passing per game, which is the best in the NFL, and Poyer and Bishop have played a key role in the ascension of the team’s secondary.”

Bills quarterback Josh Allen was also hurt in the game, suffering an unspecified leg injury that had him limping in the locker room after the game. The Bills quarterback was also evaluated for a concussion during the game, but was cleared and returned without missing any snaps. Allen hit his hand on an offensive lineman’s helmet on another pass, leaving him in pain but able to remain in the game.
