Isaiah McKenzie injury update: Is the Bills WR playing on Sunday vs Bengals? 

Isaiah McKenzie is an important component of the Buffalo Bills' offense. McKenzie is playing his sixth season in the NFL and his fifth with the Bills.

The Bills finished first in the AFC East and confirmed their playoff berth with a winning record of 13-3.

Buffalo met the Miami Dolphins and defeated them 34-31 in the 2023 playoff Wild Card round. They will play their second playoff round game against the Cincinnati Bengals at 3:00 PM on Sunday, 22 January at Highmark Stadium.

Isaiah McKenzie, the star wide receiver for the Bills, is healthy and will start the game against the Bengals. He will play his 16th game with the Bills this season.

McKenzie missed the Wild Card round game against the Dolphins due to a hamstring injury. After missing practice sessions last week, he came out as a full participant on Wednesday.

Khalil Shakir, a rookie receiver, stepped up against the Dolphins in his absence and had one of his finest performances of the season. Shakir tied his career high in receptions (three) and added 51 receiving yards.

Isaiah McKenzie could have fewer opportunities to play this week because Cole Beasley and Khalil Shakir will be spending a lot of time in the spotlight. He could be worth a slot in a single game of daily fantasy sports, but this week, his risk is rather modest.
