From the looks of the final Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers Week 8 injury reports, only two Bills players—right tackle Spencer Brown and running back Taiwan Jones—carried injury designations going into the contest. Brown was ruled out on Friday morning, while Jones was questionable.

Poyer injured his elbow during training camp and missed Buffalo’s preseason games while recovering. He returned to the game before the season began, but he wore a huge brace on his left elbow. However, he stated after the game that the injury was not the same as the preseason hyperextension.
Poyer returned to the lineup and intercepted Lamar Jackson to help the Bills pull off a Week 4 come-from-behind victory over the Baltimore Ravens, but he suffered a rib injury that kept him out for another week. He played against the Kansas City Chiefs despite taking a van to Arrowhead Stadium because he couldn’t fly due to pneumothorax.
Jordan is now out for the season due to an elbow injury. There was no specific play in which he was injured or aggravated a possible lingering elbow injury. The player said that he felt a pop in his elbow and added that he’s hoping the best after the MRI and X-Ray.
Jordan Poyer says his elbow injury “sounded like a pop.” Says he is trying to remain positive and will meet with the medical staff tomorrow. #Bills #BillsMafia @Batavia_Daily pic.twitter.com/Z5M8ujUufp
