' “Corbin Bryant has always been a good football player. Every time we asked him to step in, he does a great job. And so I’m really not surprised by the way he’s contributed,” Ryan said.'

'The Bills are one of the trickier teams to figure out. They have big play potential on both sides of the ball, be it from their dynamic quarterback or their ball hawking defensive backs, but they seemed to have lacked consistency. Rex Ryan is a coach that I've come to trust less and less over the years, so it's difficult to see an avenue for him to overcome an aggressive Rams defense on the road in Los Angeles. It should be a low scoring event, but ultimately, the Rams should eke this one out.'

'The offensive philosophy — commonly referred to as “ground and pound” following Ryan’s Jets stint on Hard Knocks — has produced a top-10 finish in yards rushing for five of the coach’s seven completed seasons. And if the Bills continue at their current rate, their 2016 team should once again finish among the league’s best in running the ball.'

'"I'm just happy with what I did over the four weeks," the former Huffman High School star said. "I really was proactive to better myself, to be honest. Just did exactly what I wanted to do. I'm happy with what I've done. I'm happy for the future. I'm really optimistic for the future."'

'The Bills have ruled out offensive linemen Cyrus Kouandijo (ankle) and Patrick Lewis (knee) and cornerback Corey White (shoulder). Cornerback Stephon Gilmore (ankle), offensive tackle Cordy Glenn (ankle), tight end Charles Clay (knee), fullback Jerome Felton (back) and safety Jonathan Meeks (foot) are all questionable to play.'

'McCoy injured his hand in practice while Dareus, who is returning from a four-game suspension, injured his hamstring.'

'Salas, as well as any Bills player on injured reserve, can be brought back later this season after sitting out for 8 weeks. Salas has 4 catches for 89 yards and his first career touchdown this season for the Bills.'

'It’s important to remember there is no more “probable” designation on NFL injury reports. So, if either player is expected to play, they would both still be listed as questionable.'

'The Bills have placed WR Greg Salas on injured reserve. Also, G Terran Vaughn has been released from the team’s practice squad.'

'Richie Incognito/John Millervs. Aaron Donald: The Rams Pro Bowl defensive tackle is a menace for every team he faces. He flips back and forth between the right and left side of their defensive formation. Incognito and Miller will need to be technique sound to handle this low to the ground game wrecker.'

'“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.”'
