Buffalo Bills’ Dalton Kincaid Shocks NFL World with Stunning Pro Bowl Selection for 2026!
Dalton Kincaid, the Buffalo Bills’ tenacious tight end, is officially stepping into the NFL Pro Bowl spotlight this season, taking over for the Chiefs’ star Travis Kelce. But here’s the catch — whether Kincaid actually suits up for the all-star game on February 3rd is anyone’s guess, given the stubborn knee issue that’s haunted him for the last two seasons. Word just broke that he’s been battling a torn PCL in his left knee since 2024, powering through pain as only a gladiator could. Now, the whispers around a potential surgery and a tricky comeback timeline cast a shadow over his Pro Bowl status — making this whole thing as uncertain as a last-minute hail mary. If he does make it, Kincaid would be joining Bills teammates Dion Dawkins, James Cook III, and Josh Allen — though, Allen staying home seems the likely play once again. Despite the limelight and his injury struggles, Kincaid has been an offensive linchpin, racking up impressive stats and proving himself as Buffalo’s go-to playmaker. But with a history of knocks and bruises, the offseason could be the turning point for Kincaid to really crank up his strength and resilience, aiming to stay on the field longer and stronger. This isn’t just about showing up for a game — it’s about fighting back and rewriting his narrative on his own terms. LEARN MORE
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has now been named to this season’s NFL Pro Bowl Games, replacing Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. It remains to be seen if Kincaid will attend the all-star event (set for Tuesday, February 3 at 8 p.m. EST) due to a chronic knee injury he’s battled for two seasons.
It was revealed this week that Kincaid played “through a torn PCL in his left knee since 2024,” per Kyle Trimble (@BangedUpBills on social media) — who goes into great detail about the likely surgery and timeline for recovery. So, despite Kincaid being the next man up in the Pro Bowl tight end rotation, his inclusion is anything but definite even if they no longer play tackle football during the annual event.

Should Kincaid participate, he’d join three other Bills teammates who were selected to the Pro Bowl in left tackle Dion Dawkins, running back James Cook III, and quarterback Josh Allen. It’s unlikely Allen shows up, as he’s declined the opportunity each of the three prior Pro Bowl selections he’s received.
Despite playing with a torn PCL, Kincaid played in 12 regular-season games and caught 39 passes (49 targets) for 571 yards and five touchdowns. In the postseason, Kincaid played in both games for the Bills, making nine receptions (11 targets) for 111 yards and two touchdowns. (All stats courtesy of Pro Football Reference.)
When available, Kincaid has often operated as Buffalo’s de facto “WR1” despite playing tight end. Without Kincaid, the Bills had major challenges on offense in 2025 — he’s a key part of what offensive coordinator Joe Brady set out to do the last 2.5 seasons calling plays.
Kincaid has battled injuries through much of his three-year NFL career, a stark contrast to his college experience. Last offseason, general manager Brandon Beane told reporters that the 6’4”, 240-pound Kincaid needed “to continue to work on his play strength. He’s not as built and muscular as, as let’s just say Dawson is,” to handle the rigors of an NFL season.

To put more specifics behind that comment of Beane’s around this time last year, it would seem they were imploring Kincaid to strengthen his quadriceps and hamstring muscles. You may recall that Kincaid also suffered a hamstring injury late in the 2025 regular season. Now, it appears as though Kincaid is set to more thoroughly tackle the injury this offseason.
