Bills safety Jordan Poyer was not cleared to fly to his team’s game in Kansas City on Sunday, so he instead made the 15-hour drive from western New York to Arrowhead Stadium, according to ESPN.
Poyer is dealing with a collapsed lung, per the report. He suffered the injury in Week 4 against the Ravens while making the second of his two fourth-quarter interceptions.
He was medically cleared to play this week, but doctors weren’t comfortable subjecting him to the air pressure that comes with flying. The 31-year-old All-Pro was listed on the team’s injury report with a ribs issue.
