  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Steady in starting role

    Rapp (hip) recorded 82 tackles (48 solo), two interceptions and a forced fumble over 14 regular-season games in 2024.

    Rapp was stuck on the depth chart behind Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde in 2023, but with their departures last offseason, Rapp was called on to be a regular starter in 2024. He played relatively well on a per-snap basis, but the time he missed due to injury kept him from making any huge waves in terms of raw stat totals. He's set to return to Buffalo in 2025, and his spot in the starting lineup could depend largely on whether the Bills are able to re-sign Damar Hamlin.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Ruled out to face Kansas City

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Friday that Rapp (hip/back) is ruled out for Sunday's road AFC Championship Game at Kansas City, Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News reports.

    Rapp's absence will be a notable blow for Buffalo's secondary. This is a development that will likely require Cole Bishop to step up as a starter at safety alongside Damar Hamlin. Elsewhere for the Bills' defense, Christian Benford remains in the concussion protocol and missed Friday's practice due to personal reasons. Taron Johnson (neck/shoulder) and Matt Milano (hamstring/elbow), meanwhile, upgraded to full practice sessions.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Doesn't practice Thursday

    Rapp (hip) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

    Rapp injured his hip during the Bills' divisional-round win against the Ravens, which has prevented him from participating in the first two practices of the week. A DNP on Friday wouldn't necessarily rule him out for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Chiefs, but participating in at least a limited capacity would indicate that he is progressing in his recovery. If Rapp is ultimately ruled out for Sunday's game, Cole Bishop would be the top candidate to start at safety next to Damar Hamlin.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Misses Wednesday's practice

    Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Rapp (hip/back) will not practice and remains day-to-day, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Rapp is dealing with a hip injury that forced him to depart Sunday's divisional-round win over the Ravens after playing just 33 percent of defensive snaps. The starting safety will have two more opportunities to upgrade his involvement at practice ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game at Kansas City, but if Rapp can't get healthy in time to face the Chiefs, Cole Bishop will likely be called upon to start alongside Damar Hamlin.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Considered day-to-day

    Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Rapp is considered day-to-day with a hip injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

    The veteran safety from Washington exited the Bills' divisional-round win over the Ravens due to a hip injury, and McDermott's comments Monday suggest he's got a chance to return for Sunday's AFC Championship Game in Kansas City. Rapp's practice participation throughout the week is likely to offer the best insight into whether he can return in time for Sunday's contest. If he's unable to go, expect Cole Bishop to start alongside Damar Hamlin in Buffalo's secondary.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Done for night

    Rapp (hip) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's AFC divisional-round matchup with Baltimore.

    Rapp suffered a hip injury in the first half while making a tackle on Lamar Jackson, and he will now be forced to sit out the remainder of the game. In his place, Cole Bishop will continue to operate as the team's primary strong safety versus the Ravens.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Questionable to return Sunday

    Rapp (hip) is questionable to return to Sunday's AFC divisional-round matchup with the Ravens.

    Rapp picked up a hip injury in the second quarter against Baltimore, exiting the contest as a result. In his absence, Cole Bishop has taken over at strong safety versus the Ravens.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Past neck issue

    Rapp (neck) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.

    Rapp was limited throughout the Bills' week of practice after playing through his neck injury in the Week 17 win over the Jets, and it now appears he'll continue to play through the issue Sunday. Buffalo has already clinched the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs and is expected to rest its starters for most of the Week 18 contest; however, head coach Sean McDermott stated Rapp will still play "a bit" Sunday, per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Still dealing with neck injury

    Rapp (neck) was a limited participant at the Bills' walkthrough practice Wednesday, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

    Rapp was able to play through his neck issue during Sunday's game versus the Jets, so it's likely Buffalo is simply taking a cautious approach ahead of Week 18. If he's able to log a full practice Thursday or Friday, he would likely go into the weekend without an injury designation.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Set to return Sunday

    Rapp (neck) is active for Sunday's Week 17 battle against the Jets.

    Rapp missed each of Buffalo's past two games due to a neck issue, but he'll be able to take the field against New York. His return comes at a good time for the Bills, as fellow safety Damar Hamlin (ribs) is inactive Sunday. Cole Bishop will likely start alongside Rapp in the Week 17 matchup.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Questionable versus New York

    Rapp (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets.

    Rapp has missed the Bills' past two contests due to neck and shoulder injuries, but he did get in a round of limited sessions this week, putting Rapp on track for a potential Week 17 return. Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop would be in line for extra reps once again if Rapp is unable to play.

  • Bills' Taylor Rapp: Officially out

    Rapp (neck) is listed as inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Patriots.

    Rapp's absence will be his second in a row due to neck and shoulder issues. With Damar Hamlin (ribs) also out, Kareem Jackson and Cole Bishop will be the only healthy true safeties on the roster.
