ORCHARD PARK - A season-long trend, one in which the Buffalo Bills had been given a reprieve from in the last few weeks, has returned at quite an inopportune time: Injuries on the defensive side of the ball.

Buffalo Bills safety Taylor Rapp (hip) did not practice on Thursday, marking the second consecutive day he has been out of action due to a hip injury. The 27-year-old was banged up in last week's win over the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional Round and is in danger of missing the AFC

The Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills have released their second injury reports ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game. For the second consecutive practice, Bills starting safety Taylor Rapp sat out with multiple injuries.

Bills' Taylor Rapp missed his second consecutive practice on Thursday, calling his availability for Sunday's AFC Championship into question.

The Buffalo Bills also have a big name that could miss the AFC championship game. Taylor Rapp is dealing with a hip/back injury, has missed practice, and remains day-to-day, according to Maddy Glabb of the Bills' official site. It's bad news for the Bills, who have used the safety to help seal off the run.

In a snowy affair, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson chucked the ball up under pressure. The only one that could, and did, get to the ball was Rapp. That play ended the Ravens’ second drive on offense and kept the score at a 7-7 tie in the first quarter.

Buffalo Bills' head coach Sean McDermott provided injury updates on CB, LB and safety on Wednesday in Orchard Park.

The preparations are underway for the Buffalo Bills ahead of the AFC championship game. The Bills (13-4) have had their eye on Super Bowl 59 all year… and realistically, right next to that in the back of the team’s mind has been a meeting with the Kansas City Chiefs (15-2) in the postseason. That’s on deck.

Experts have released new stat projections ahead of Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes' rematch in Sunday's AFC CHampionship.
