Bills' Matt Prater: Another limited practice Thursday
Prater (right calf) remained a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Prater has logged consecutive limited sessions to begin preparations for Sunday's home game against the Chiefs. Tyler Bass (hip) remains on injured reserve and hasn't had his window to return to practice opened yet, so Prater's set to remain Buffalo's kicker in Week 9 if healthy enough to play.

Bills' Matt Prater: Dealing with calf injury
Prater was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a calf injury in his kicking leg.
It's unclear when Prater sustained the injury, though it was likely during the Bills' Week 8 win over the Panthers, when he made all six of his kicks (two field goals and four PATs). He has served as the Bills' starting kicker through the first seven games of the regular season due to Tyler Bass (hip) being on injured reserve, and Buffalo does not currently have a place kicker on the practice squad. Prater will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation heading into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Bills' Matt Prater: Makes six kicks in Week 8 win
Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and went 4-for-5 on point-after tries during the Bills' 40-9 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Prater scored the Bills' first six points of the game with field goals from 45 and 43 yards in the first half. His first extra-point try in the second quarter sailed wide left, but he was perfect on his next four PATs. Prater has done a serviceable job as the Bills' placekicker as Tyler Bass remains on injured reserve due to a left hip/groin injury. Prater has gone 12-for-13 on field-goal attempts and 21-for-22 on extra-point tries through seven regular-season games.

Bills' Matt Prater: Quiet night on MNF
Prater did not attempt a field goal and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries in Monday night's 24-14 loss to the Falcons.
Prater went without a field-goal try for the first time this season, previously having notched multiple attempts in four of five games to open the year. With Tyler Bass (hip) still unable to return to practice, Prater seems likely to remain the team's starting kicker following Buffalo's bye week in Week 7.

Bills' Matt Prater: Perfect again
Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.
The kicker made a 31-yarder early in the game and a 45-yarder in the fourth to briefly tie it up. Prater is now 10-for-11 on field-goal tries and 15-for-15 on extra-point attempts in 2025, and he has made every kick in four of five games this season. With Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) still on IR for the moment, the Bills' high-scoring kicking job belongs to Prater, who has also made a strong case to keep it.

Bills' Matt Prater: Makes only FGA in Week 4
Prater made his only field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 31-19 win over the Saints.
Prater connected on a 35-yard field goal with 2:09 left in the fourth quarter, accounting for the final three points of the day for Buffalo. The kicker has now gone 8-for-9 on field-goal tries over four games this year, including a make from 52 yards in Week 2 against the Jets.

Bills' Matt Prater: Imperfect in Week 3
Prater went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made four PATs in Thursday's 31-21 win over the Dolphins.
Prater was unable to remain perfect in 2025, missing a 39-yard field-goal attempt wide left in the second quarter. He later redeemed himself, connecting on a 48-yard field goal to put the Bills up 31-21 with 22 seconds remaining in the game. Prater has now made seven out of eight field-goal tries and all nine of his PATs over three contests with Buffalo this season.

Bills' Matt Prater: Makes all six kicks in win
Prater made all three of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in Buffalo's win over the Jets on Sunday.
Fresh off making the game-winning kick over the Ravens last Sunday night, Prater was perfect in the Bills' 30-10 win over the division-rival Jets. Prater is now a perfect 6-for-6 on field goals and 5-for-5 on extra points this season.

Bills' Matt Prater: Added to 53-man roster
The Bills signed Prater off their practice squad Tuesday.
Though Buffalo would have had the ability to elevate Prater from the practice squad in advance of two more games, the Bills may have chosen to sign the 41-year-old to the 53-man roster to avoid having him being poached by the 49ers or Falcons, both of whom could be breaking in new kickers in Week 2. Prater is likely to stick around as the Bills' kicker for the duration of the absence of Tyler Bass (hip/groin), who was placed on injured reserve prior to the start of the season and will miss at least three more games. The veteran Prater proved to be reliable in his Bills debut this past Sunday, knocking down both of his point-after attempts in addition to converting on field-goal tries of 25, 43 and 32 yards in Buffalo's 41-40 win over Baltimore, the last of which was the game-winner as time expired.

Bills' Matt Prater: Finishes off comeback win
Prater made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in the Bills' 41-40 win over the Ravens on Sunday.
Buffalo placed Tyler Bass (hip/groin) on injured reserve prior to the Week 1 matchup, prompting the team to elevate the 41-year-old Prater from the practice squad to fill in as the team's kicker. Prater deftly handled all of his assignments, none bigger than when he calmly nailed a 32-yard game-winning field goal as time expired. With Bass due to miss at least the next three games while on IR, Prater will likely be elevated once again in advance of the Bills' Week 2 matchup with the Jets.

Bills' Matt Prater: Returns to practice squad
Prater reverted to the Bills' practice squad Monday.
With Tyler Bass (hip/groin) landing on injured reserve prior to the season opener, Prater was elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties for the Bills. The 41-year-old knocked down all five of his kicks in the Bills' 41-40 win over the Ravens, capping off the victory with a 32-yard field goal as time expired. Prater will almost certainly be elevated to the active roster again for the Bills' Week 2 game versus the Jets.
