Bills Safety Taylor Rapp Ruled Out of AFC Championship Game Against Chiefs

Buffalo will rely on rookie Cole Bishop and Cam Lewis to fill the defensive gap left by Rapp's hip injury.

Taylor Rapp, Buffalo's starting safety, is sidelined for the AFC Championship due to a hip injury sustained in last week's divisional playoff win over Baltimore.
Rapp's absence marks a significant loss for the Bills' defense, as he recorded 82 tackles, two interceptions, and a forced fumble this season.
Rookie Cole Bishop, Buffalo's second-round draft pick, and Cam Lewis are expected to see increased playing time in Rapp's place.
Cornerback Christian Benford remains questionable, still in concussion protocol and missing practice for personal reasons on Friday.
Linebacker Matt Milano and cornerback Taron Johnson are expected to play after fully participating in practice on Friday.
