After an injury-riddled sophomore campaign, former Utah<\/a> tight end Dalton Kincaid<\/a> appears to be set up to bounce back in a major way in year three.<\/p>\n

Kincaid impressed in Buffalo\u2019s OTAs both physically and on the field.<\/p>\n

Today was Dalton Kincaid Day at Bills minicamp. He made several impressive catches in 7-on-7, especially red zone\/goal line. Here is a catch in warm-up period: pic.twitter.com\/G0qaxdJDMM<\/a><\/p>\n

Kincaid was unfortunate enough to suffer injuries to both of his knees within a two-month span last season.<\/p>\n

In week 10, he sprained the PCL in his left knee, which resulted in him missing three weeks. In week 16, he dealt with a Morel\u2011Lavall\u00e9e Lesion in his right knee, a fluid accumulation beneath the skin. Luckily, he didn\u2019t require surgery this offseason.<\/p>\n

Bills general manager Brandon Beane highlighted Kincaid\u2019s quick offseason turnaround and how he looks as good as ever heading into 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has definitely added strength and bulk. He\u2019s in a stronger position than he was at this time a year ago. You can see the confidence in the knee.\u201d#Bills<\/a> GM Brandon Beane says Dalton Kincaid is noticeably bigger in person after asking him to put some weight on this offseason.\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/lhRU9hNjan<\/a><\/p>\n

Kincaid regressed a bit from year one to year two. However, some of that drop can be attributed to the mid-season injuries. In 13 games played, he reeled in 44 receptions for 448 yards and two touchdowns.<\/p>\n

Buffalo\u2019s training camp begins one month from today on July 22. Their first preseason game is against the New York Giants on Saturday, August 9. Week one is about a month after that, when they will host the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, September 7.<\/p>\n
