Kouandjio awaits chance to prove himself
‘It stands to reason that the Bills would want to enhance their offensive line depth on their game-day roster. For one thing, Pears has been struggling as the starter at right guard. For another, rookie Cyril Richardson, whom veteran Kraig Urbik replaced at left guard for the Bills’ Oct. 26 game against the New York Jets, is listed as probable for Sunday after missing most of the week’s practices because of a death in his family.’

‘”It’s a groin, and with those you’ve got to be careful, you’ve got to be smart,” Watkins, who hasn’t practiced since leaving Wednesday’s session early, said Friday. “You really don’t know whether you’re right or not, so for me it’s just listen to the trainers and listen to the coaches.”‘
It’s time for Bills to reload

‘”They didn’t really update me or tell me what’s going on,” he said. “For me it’s just sit back and let them do their jobs.”‘
Cyrus Kouandjio says he’s taking reps with starters at guard for Buffalo Bills
‘”I got a lot of tackle reps with the scout team, and then I get a lot of guard reps with the starting team,” Kouandjio said. “A combination of the two.”‘
Bills OC Nathaniel Hackett on Sammy Watkins injury: ‘I’ll always think that you have to practice’
‘”I mean, this is what it comes down to, you have to win,” Hackett said. “Nobody is going to care how anything happens for me. Everybody’s going to be questioning everything. I have to figure something else out. That’s part of being the coach. You have to adjust. Change is the norm. I have to be ready to adjust with anything. Anything could happen on game day.”‘
Buffalo Bills director of player personnel Jim Monos reflects on time with Chiefs coach Andy Reid

5 things to watch in Week 10 against Kansas City Chiefs
‘We’ll find out in a hurry just how much the Bills’ offensive line was able to get fixed over the bye week. The Kansas City Chiefs boast one of the top pass rushes in the NFL, led by Justin Houston, who is on pace to break the single-season NFL sack record. Tamba Hali plays opposite Houston and is no slouch, either. Kansas City could be building on that 27-sack total on Sunday.’
Sammy Watkins, Fred Jackson questionable against Chiefs
‘Despite reports early in the week from ESPN that Watkins’ injury was minor and an Associated Press report that he would be able to play, Bills coach Doug Marrone admitted it was up in the air.’

Bills seek chance to gain respect in facing Chiefs
‘”It’s going to be that way until we prove that we can go out and win on a consistent basis. And we haven’t,” Marrone said. “So I don’t get upset with anyone. Do you need it as motivation? I think these guys go out there every day and understand what we have to prove.”‘
