Here's what to know about Prater's status for Week 16.
Prater has been ruled out for the Bills' game at the Cleveland Browns Kincaid at 1 p.m. Sunday. He did not practice all week leading up to Week 16.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott said Prater is considered week-to-week.
Prater has made 18 of 20 field goals and 43 of 46 extra points for 97 points in 14 games. His 90% field goal percentage is tied for 12th in the NFL this season. Prater, in his 19th season, is 13th all-time in career points with 1,905.
