JAKE KUMEROW NEWS

Season ended due to back Kumerow revealed Friday that it was a back injury that ended his season prematurely in November, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact Kumerow underwent a microdiscectomy to trim a disc in his back and the injury forced his season to come to an end in November. The wide receiver was dealing with ankle injuries, but it was his back which ultimately shut him down for the year. Kumerow appeared in six games in 2022, reeling in four catches for 64 yards while operating on both offense and special teams.

Hitting IR Kumerow (ankle) was placed on the Bills' injured reserve Thursday.

Impact Kumerow was forced out with an ankle injury during the Bills' Week 10 loss to Minnesota and was considered day-to-day after missing practice Wednesday. Now, the 30-year-old wideout will be forced to sit out until at least Week 15 against the Dolphins. Over six games, Kumerow caught four of his seven targets for 64 yards while playing 89 of his 160 snaps on offense, and his absence leaves Buffalo with just four available wide receivers on its current active roster.

Considered week-to-week Kumerow (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday and is considered week-to-week, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Kumerow picked up the ankle injury during the Bills' Week 10 loss to the Vikings and may be sidelined for multiple weeks. He'll have two more opportunities to practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, but given the week-to-week designation, it appears likely the wideout will be held out for at least one additional contest.

Won't play Week 6 Kumerow (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Isaiah McKenzie will likely be back from a concussion, while rookie Khalil Shakir proved he was ready for the NFL game last week, so the Bills are somewhat covered for what could be a high-scoring battle with the Chiefs. Kumerow will have two weeks to get heathy, as the Bills have a bye in Week 7 before resuming play in a primetime Week 8 matchup against the Packers, Kumerow's previous team.
