Prater has been great when on the field, starting with his Week 1 game-winner. But he missed two games recently with his quad injury, and now he hurt it again.

The Bills had used Michael Badgley in place of Prater, but Badgley had a couple of missed kicks and wouldn't necessarily be who Buffalo goes back to.

There aren't a ton of inspiring options available.

The Bills have to at least bring someone in now, given that Prater is liable to keep getting hurt at this rate.

That's a worry for the next couple days, and it's a crucial one.
