No go for divisional round
Hughes (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Ravens.
Analysis: Hughes will be forced to miss a second game in a row after injuring his ankle in Week 18. In his absence, Derek Barnett and Myjai Sanders are candidates to see an increased workload on Houston's defensive line versus Baltimore.

Out versus Cleveland
Hughes (ankle) is out for Saturday's game against the Browns.
Analysis: The veteran edge player missed all three practices this week. He played in all 17 games during the regular season, recording three sacks on 42 percent of the defensive snaps. The Texans are dealing with a number of injuries at the defensive end spot.

Not practicing Wednesday
Hughes (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Hughes was forced out of Houston's regular-season finale early with an ankle injury, and now he has just one more chance to practice prior to the wild-card round. If he can't do so Thursday, he'll likely be unavailable Saturday.

Hurts ankle in Week 18 clash
Hughes is questionable to return to Saturday's contest against Indianapolis due to an ankle injury.
Analysis: Hughes was hurt in the third quarter and subsequently headed to the medical tent. The veteran's departure is a blow to a Texans defensive line that is already without Jonathan Greenard (ankle) for the win-and-in matchup. Myjai Sanders may see more work if Hughes is unable to return.

Will he finish career in Buffalo?
GM Brandon Beane said this week that while he expects Hughes -- an unrestricted free agent -- to explore the market, he's very open to having the veteran return to the team, the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Hughes will be 34 by the time next season rolls around and he's clearly not the player he was at his peak, but the Bills use such a heavy rotational system that he can still contribute on a part-time basis. And his locker room presence for what was the league's best defense in 2021 is off the charts. The Bills are up against it with the salary cap, so if another team comes waving a good deal with more money, the team that's enjoyed his services for nine seasons may have to say goodbye. But that…read more

Ready for Week 15
Coach Sean McDermott said Friday on WGR 550 Radio that Hughes (foot) is expected to practice fully Friday and play Sunday against the Panthers, Chris Jenkins of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Hughes almost never misses any action, and even though he's slowed down in his age-32 season (he has just 1.5 sacks to date), he'll be part of the plan to help the Bills try to snap a two-game losing streak and remain in the playoff chase.

Production tailing off
Hughes had just one tackle in Monday's 14-10 loss to the Patriots while playing 51 percent of the defensive snaps.
Analysis: Hughes' production is really starting to tail off in his 12th NFL season, as he has just 1.5 sacks and is on pace to post his lowest total in that department since 2011. While he's still provides valuable leadership on a strong defense and is an important part of a heavy rotation, he's fallen well off the IDP radar from his double-digit sack seasons that came early on in his tenure with the Bills.

Ready to go
Hughes (calf) was activated off the non-football injury list Tuesday, the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Hughes has been in the league since 2010, so we assume he'll have no problem getting back up to speed, especially since he's also experienced in Leslie Frazier's defense. Hughes turns 33 this week, and at this stage of his career he's a key rotational piece instead of an every-down guy. That said, he stands a good chance of starting and hitting 4-6 sacks.

Moves to NFI list
The Bills placed Hughes on the non-football injury list Wednesday due to a calf strain, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Hughes will miss at least the early days of training camp while working his way back to full health. The veteran defensive end recorded 29 tackles (19 solo) and 4.5 sacks across 15 games last season, with his only absence coming for rest purposes in advance of the playoffs. Hughes hasn't missed a regular-season game due to injury since 2011.

Sitting out Sunday
Hughes (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Dolphins.
Analysis: Hughes is being rested for the season finale, as the Bills have locked up home-field advantage for the first round of playfofs. The veteran defensive end will finish the 2020 regular season with 29 tackles (19 solo), 4.5 sacks, three pass breakups and a pick-six. Mario Addison is also a healthy scratch. Trent Murphy and A.J. Epenesa are slated for increased roles Sunday.

Logs full practice
Hughes was listed as a full participant on Thursday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Hughes worked in a limited fashion Wednesday, but that was likely just to allow more recovery time. The projected full practice should leave his status in little doubt for Sunday, and he'll be ready to take on the Chargers in the Week 12 showdown.

Limited for first official session
Hughes (back) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Analysis: Hughes almost never misses time and the Bills tend to go easy on their veterans in Wednesday sessions, so there's little concern about his status for Sunday. Hughes isn't the same player he used to be -- he's been in the league since 2010 -- but he does have 4.0 sacks over his last four games, and if he can crank up the motor once again Sunday, it will go a long way toward slowing down the Justin Herbert Express.

Resumes practicing fully
Hughes (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Hughes couldn't practice Wednesday, but he's now shed any concerns about his Week 9 availability. Barring any setbacks, Hughes is set to draw his usual start at defensive end against Seattle on Sunday.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Hughes (foot) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Hughes has been playing through this injury, so it's no surprise that the team is managing the veteran defensive end's practice reps. Considering Hughes hasn't missed a game since 2011, he's likely to suit up Sunday against the Seahawks despite the lack of practice participation.

Suiting up against Patriots
Hughes (foot) is active for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
Analysis: Hughes will avoid missing his first game since the 2011 season, and he'll start at defensive end in Sunday's divisional clash. The 32-year-old failed to record a sack through the first six games of the year, but he notched two against the Jets last week and will look to build on that effort against Cam Newton, who has been sacked on 7.1 percent of dropbacks this year.

Questionable despite full practice
Hughes (foot) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Analysis: Hughes upgraded to a full practice session Friday, so it looks like he's trending in the right direction for Sunday's contest despite officially being questionable. As long as he's cleared for action, Hughes stands to handle his usual starting role at defensive end.

Upgrades to limited
Hughes (foot) was able to practice on a limited basis Thursday after missing Wednesday's session, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: It sounds like Hughes is trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Patriots following a monster Week 7 performance, and a minimum of limited participation in Friday's final practice session will put him in good shape to play.

DNP on Wednesday
Hughes sat out practice Wednesday due to a foot injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Hughes completed a huge game in Sunday's win over the Jets and earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts, so perhaps coach Sean McDermott is just taking it easy on his veteran. We'll find out more when the team hits the practice field again Thursday.

Best game of 2020
Hughes had his biggest game of the season in Sunday's win against the Jets, with six tackles, 2.0 sacks, one pass defensed, one forced fumble and the first interception of his pro career.
Analysis: That's an Aaron Donald type IDP line and a glimpse at the things Hughes used to do in previous seasons. Unfortunately, those are far and few between these days, as it took a fired-up Bills defense and a lousy opponent to see Hughes get his first sacks of the season. Even as a starter, Hughes is in a strict rotation -- he's seen between 59 and 68 percent of the defensive snaps in every single game this season -- so it's hard to count on IDP production even though he still has the skills and the…read more

Good to go Sunday
Hughes (calf) was a full participant in Friday's practice and will play Sunday versus the Dolphins, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Hughes was limited during Thursday's practice, but it was likely precautionary, so there shouldn't be much concern about his ability to log a full workload in Sunday's divisional matchup. The veteran defensive end played 68 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1 and recorded two solo tackles and a fumble recovery.

Added to injury report
Hughes was limited in Thursday's practice due to a calf injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Hughes wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, a hint that he may have nicked up his calf during practice. The veteran defensive end handled 68 percent of Buffalo's defensive snaps Week 1 versus the Jets, notching two tackles. He stands to play a similar role against the Dolphins on Sunday, provided he's able to avoid any injury setbacks.

Cleared from injury
Hughes (groin) suited up in Wednesday's practice and is back to full health following offseason surgery, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Hughes not only underwent groin surgery, but he also had a wrist procedure this offseason to repair torn ligaments. Despite suiting up in all 16 games and playing all 677 defensive snaps in 2019, the veteran saw a statistical decline, compiling just 23 tackles (14 solo) and 4.5 sacks. The 31-year-old is expected to start at one of the defensive end positions for the 2020 season, but his playing time could take a bit of a hit after the team drafted A.J. Epenesa in the second round of April's…read more

Undergoes another surgery
Hughes (wrist) had groin surgery Thursday, Bradley Gelber of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Hughes had wrist surgery Jan. 20 to repair torn ligaments that he played with for much of the 2019 season. He started all 16 games for Buffalo, but the pair of injuries may have played a role in limiting the 31-year-old defensive end to his second-lowest sack total (4.5) in the past seven years, along with his worst numbers since 2011 for tackles (23) and QB hits (nine). Hughes is entering the first season of a two-year, $21.5 million extension in 2020, presumably returning as the Bills'…read more

Gets surgery on wrist
Hughes (wrist) is recovering from surgery, Bradley Gelber of The Bills Wire reports.
Analysis: Hughes played through torn wrist ligaments for much of the 2019 season, perhaps offering a partial explanation for his second-smallest sack total (4.5) in seven years with the Bills. The timing of the surgery should allow him to be ready for the start of training camp, entering the first season of a two-year extension he signed last May. Hughes will turn 32 in August but hasn't missed a game since 2011. Although the Bills could choose to cut him and gain some cap savings, the team hasn't given…read more

Cites torn ligaments in wrist
Hughes stated Tuesday that he played the 2019 season with torn ligaments in his wrist, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
Analysis: Perhaps that explains Hughes' low sack total of 4.5, a number that should have been a lot higher on such a strong defense with good linemen playing around him. But Hughes has dropped off precipitously from back-to-back 10-sack seasons in 2013 and 2014, not bettering 7.0 sacks in the five seasons since. The Bills might also have some explaining to do to the league as to why Hughes' wrist injury never showed up on an injury report. Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that it hasn't been determined…read more

Huge game in loss
Hughes had three sacks and four total tackles during Saturday's playoff loss to the Texans.
Analysis: The Bills have had a lot of great defensive linemen in their history, but Hughes is the first to have three sacks in a postseason game. Unfortunately, just like past members of his Bills fraternity, Hughes and his current mates came up just short in painstaking fashion. He has one year left on a two-year, $23 million contract he signed earlier this year, and, given that the Bills have tons of cap room, it's likely they'll keep the veteran pass rusher around for another season, one that should…read more

Ready to rock
Hughes (groin) does not carry an injury tag for Sunday's tilt against the Broncos.
Analysis: Hughes practiced in full Friday after having logged back-to-back absences to begin the week. The starting defensive end appears fully recovered from his groin injury, putting him on track to handle his usual workload against Denver on Sunday.

Unable to practice
Hughes (groin) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Hughes was able to battle through this groin issue during this past Sunday's win against Miami, so the Bills hope their starting defensive end is on a similar trajectory. Still, the veteran figures to carry an injury tag of some sort into this Sunday's matchup against the Broncos. It's perhaps worth noting Hughes hasn't missed a game since the 2011 season.

Active Week 11
Hughes (groin) is on the active roster Week 11 against Miami.

True question mark for Week 11
Hughes (groin) did not practice Friday following a limited session Thursday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Miami, the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Hughes has been in the league long enough to have no trouble with the game plan even without practicing much all week, but the lack of any participation Friday is a concern. If he can't go for the divisional contest, Shaq Lawson, Trent Murphy and linebacker Lorenzo Alexander will collectively take on more pass-rushing duties.

Limited Thursday
Hughes was listed as a limited participant Thursday due to a groin injury, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.
Analysis: Thursday is probably the least important of the three main practices for most teams, so we'll see if the veteran can get back out there for a full session Friday. The Bills' defense has been awesome all season, but Hughes -- formerly a sack monster -- has posted underwhelming stats, with just 19 tackles and 2.5 sacks on the season. Hughes almost pulled off a major game-changer when he scored on a botched Baker Mayfield play during Sunday's loss in Cleveland, but the play was correctly…read more

Hughes recorded three tackles (one solo) and one sack during Sunday's 24-9 win over Washington.
Analysis: Hughes put a notch in the sack column for the first time since Week 1 as he successfully brought down rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins. He's primed for a favorable matchup against the Browns in Week 10.
