Buffalo Bills safety Jordan Poyer will miss Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins due to a knee injury, the team announced Friday. Poyer, 32, an 11-year veteran in his seventh season with the Bills, missed four games last season due to injury — including a Week 3 game at Miami that the Dolphins won 21-19. His absence likely means Taylor Rapp or Cam Lewis will start alongside Micah Hyde at safety and Damar Hamlin will be active for the first time this season. Sunday’s game is scheduled for 1 p.m.
