The Buffalo Bills will play a massive game in Week 17 of the 2025 NFL season against the defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. As both teams will try to win, itâs time to reveal if quarterback Josh Allen will have his tight end duo of Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid ready to go.
Both tight ends were listed as questionables as theyâve been dealing with knee injuries. As for Kincaid, he didnât practice early in the week and was limited on Friday. After waiting until the last minute, Kincaid was ultimately listed as inactive by the Bills today.
Dawson Knox, on the other hand, will suit up against the Eagles. He didnât practice on Tuesday and Wednesday and logged a limited practice on Friday. Knox has only missed one game over the last two seasons, and it was not because of injury, but because the Bills rested their starters on that occasion. Today, Knox could have a bigger role with Kincaid out.
The Bills rely heavily on their tight ends
Because of the lack of a proper wide receiver one, Josh Allen has relied heavily on both Kincaid and Knox. Against the Eagles, it shouldnât be different with Knox, who trails Kincaid with three touchdowns this year.

As for receiving yards, Kincaid is the second-best on the team with 523, while Knox is third with 363. Clearly they are both very important for this offense and provide Josh Allen with plenty of ways to damage opponents.

Whoâs next on the TE depth chart?
After Kincaid and Knox, the TE depth chart falls drastically in quality. The third-string tight end is Jackson Hawes who has 15 catches all year for 187 yards, though he has scored three touchdowns.
Then, Keleki Latu serves as the other option on the team. He has only one catch in this NFL season for four yards. The undrafted rookie hasnât had much chance to shine yet on this team.
