'“I got text messages from all my friends when he signed here, like ‘oh man, your favorite player is coming to Buffalo.’ Everybody that’s close to me knows that I grew up watching Reggie Bush and he was my favorite player. It’s definitely been a cool experience to be able to see him every day, pick his brain, see how he works.”'

'“Our guys do a great job and will track every player,” coach Rex Ryan said, “and if we feel that Karlos can help us, then he’ll be here.”'

'“Well I know the one report, you know, let’s just say sometimes, your information’s no better than your source. But I have no problem at all if somebody disagrees with me on my politics, or on this, that or whatever, that’s fine. And I don’t hold it against anybody or begrudge anybody on their opinions over anything as well. So it’s, I think that’s a non-deal. I do think it’s interesting that it’s coming out about our team as if there’s an issue with our football team, but there’s no issue with our team. Our team is loaded, we’re focused on going out there and playing against the Rams, and that’s it.”'

'“I’m sure he’s looking forward to playing with his dad on the other sideline,” Rams coach Jeff Fisher said. “We lost him because of injury last year, had a little unsettled offseason and came back, just really proud of him. Came back in great shape and he’s playing well.”'

'But the Bills are developing a strong belief in their ability to have an answer for whatever the opposition does to prevent them from moving the ball.'

'His faith has been rewarded in large part due to the performances of three players — retreads from other organizations — who have filled obvious voids with surprising efficiency.'

'Now that his four-game substance abuse suspension is complete — yes, even though he wasn’t on an NFL roster, he was able to serve his penalty while he was on his couch in Florida — Williams is eligible to play immediately. He has already had workouts with the Jets and Steelers, but both teams took a pass on the former fifth-round draft pick from Florida State.'

'"I'm very familiar with Karlos," Lynn said. "He doesn't have to prove anything to me. He would just have to be compliant with the rest of the team. That's why he's not here right now. Rex asked these guys to come back in in shape and take care of themselves and he didn't do that. Hopefully he learns his lesson and when he gets his next opportunity I wish him all the best."'

'The NFL usually releases such information on Friday, so more news on which Patriots players were punished could be coming then.'

'"You know what, I never commented on the Bleacher Report, and I'm not going to comment on that stuff now," Ryan said. "I'm no expert clearly on political things or whatever. But what we've always mentioned is we respect everybody has a right to their opinion and we respect everybody's views even though they may be very different than mine or each other's and all that. That's just the way it is. Going forward, I don't really have any comments."

'LeSean McCoy has been Buffalo's workhorse back through the first four games of the season. Behind McCoy, Mike Gillislee, Reggie Bush and Jonathan Williams have combined a combined 48 yards rushing on 15 carries. It's clear that the team doesn't have confidence in any member of the trio to complement McCoy the way that Karlos Williams did in 2015.'

'The cornerback will be playing at the Los Angeles Coliseum for the first time since he played college ball at the University of Southern California. As he stands at his locker removing his pads after practice, the 5-foot-8-inch corner is bouncing up-and-down and side-to-side. He's remembering his interception of Andrew Luck. He's ranting about the history and tradition of the program. He's reminding anyone who will listen what it means to be a Trojan. He can't wait to be in that stadium again.'

'"Thanks, Jim. I'm Chuck Schumer and I approve this message," Schumer says in the ad. "Go Bills!"'

'What should Bills fans know about Keenum off the field? Here are five things we learned about Keenum based on some of his older tweets.'
