2026 Outlook
Aug 1 training camp update — core muscle repair recovery: Bass opened participation at training camp for the first time extensively since undergoing surgery for his core muscle injury (sports hernia). He has not yet kicked in camp, but reported it took him until OTAs to feel normal again after the surgical recovery. The Bills are monitoring his return carefully to ensure full healing before ramping up his kicking load in preseason and the regular season.

Tyler Bass is Buffalo's exclusive kicker with no competition, but durability concerns cloud his fantasy value entering the 2026 season. He suffered hip and groin injuries in 2025 that landed him on IR and prevented him from kicking during OTAs and minicamp heading into training camp. The Bills need to see Bass kick before the regular season to enter 2026 with confidence in their kicking game (per Buffalo Bills Notable Injuries to Monitor Going Into Training Camp). He took a pay cut to remain with the team and is under contract through 2027, but his career in Buffalo could be on the line if he struggles early (per Buffalo Bills training camp special teams preview).
Injury Status
Hip and groin injuries; did not kick during OTAs or minicamp in 2026 offseason.
