Unfortunately client Micah Hyde will be put on IR today due to his recent neck injury. Fortunately, we expect a healthy return for #23 in 2023 #BillsMafia #NFL

According to Alec White, Hyde left the game against theTitans with a neck injury. According to Ian Rapoport, Hyde had a back injury.

Hyde has played in the National Football League for a decade. He spent time with the Packers and Bills.

The Bills had the top scoring defense in football last season and the Pro Bowler was a big part of it. The defensive backfield was formed by him and Jordan Poyer.

Hyde missed three games in his first nine seasons, but he will be out for the rest of the season.

The loss of his is a blow to the defense. Ed Oliver and JordanPhillips will be out of the game.

Jackson was hospitalized on Monday after he suffered a neck injury. Jackson did not sustain a serious injury to his neck and spine.

Poyer and Settle are questionable for the game. It will be a big change in the secondary if Poyer can't go.

Since 2017, the Bills have never started a regular season game without one of Micah Hyde or Jordan Poyer in the starting lineup at safety. With Hyde headed to IR and Poyer very much questionable, that could end this weekend in Miami.

The spotlight is on Jaquan Johnson, a sixth-round pick out of Miami. Wolfe gave some background.

4th-year S Jaquan Johnson is expected to start for Micah Hyde tomorrow vs. Dolphins. Johnson has huge shoes to fill in Miami homecoming game & rest of season.

Communication will be key element for a typically cohesive Bills D that is missing some key players most notably Hyde.

Last year, Johnson played all 17 games and made 14 tackles and one intercept.
