For the first time since suffering a neck injury in Week 2, the Bills have opened up the practice window for Pro Bowl safety Micah Hyde. However, he reportedly won't be back for this weekend's Wild Card Round game against Miami.
Per MMQB's Albert Breer: "Sean McDermott said neither [Hyde nor WR Jamison Crowder] will play Sunday. But getting either—and in particular Hyde—back for a potential divisional-round game against the Bengals would be pretty huge for the Bills."
Hyde has been a star contributor to the Bills defense since coming over from Green Bay in 2017, pairing with Jordan Poyer to become one of the league's best safety tandems on one of the NFL's best defenses.
The 32-year-old only saw action in two games this season where he recorded seven total tackles. But getting him back in any capacity would go a long way in helping the Bills capture their first ever Super Bowl.
