The Buffalo Bills will be without key player Rapp as they look to reach their first Super Bowl in more than 30 years.

Here's the latest injury update on Buffalo Bills safety Taylor Rapp heading into the AFC championship game vs. the Kansas City Chiefs

The Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off in an epic AFC Championship Game showdown this evening. With the Chiefs in hot pursuit of a third consecutive Super Bowl victory, it will take every ounce of the Bills’ might to stop them.

Rapp is listed with hip and back injuries. After taking a hit that was feared could have left him with a broken him, Rapp was carted off the field and taken to be x-rayed. His examination did not reveal any broken bones, but he was not ready to return to practice on Wednesday or Thursday.

Bills starting safety Taylor Rapp will miss Sunday's AFC Championship Game due to back and hip injuries. Rookie Cole Bishop is expected to start in Rapp's place.

Without Taylor Rapp, the Bills will have to limit the Chiefs' eccentric offense without their full defensive arsenal for the second consecutive season. In addition to Rapp's injury, Buffalo faced Kansas City without star linebackers Matt Milano and Baylon Spector in 2024.

The Bills have suffered a huge blow to their secondary ahead of Sunday’s AFC Championship game against the Chiefs.

There’s a football game in Kansas City in late January. Shocking, isn’t it? For the seventh consecutive season, the Chiefs are playing in the AFC Championship Game. They are hosting the game for the sixth time in that span.

Ahead of facing Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, being down two starting defensive backs is not ideal for Buffalo. The Bills intercepted Mahomes twice in their 30-21 win over Kansas City during the regular season. One of those two came via Rapp on Mahomes’ first pass attempt.

Buffalo's offense is at full bore but two Bills defenders are injured, head coach Sean McDermott said during his media availability Monday. Safety Taylor Rapp is day-to-day with a hip injury and cornerback Christian Benford is in the NFL concussion protocol.

The Bills will be missing starting safety Taylor Rapp, who is out with a hip injury. Rapp came up with an interception of Lamar Jackson and added a pass breakup in last week’s AFC Divisional Round victory. Rookie Cole Bishop, a second-round pick from Utah, will get the start.

Buffalo Bills starting safety Taylor Rapp has been ruled out for the AFC Championship Game on Sunday against the host Kansas City Chiefs.
