‘Carter returned to practice after missing Buffalo’s 24-20 preseason win at Detroit on Friday with a knee injury. He had been competing with Corey Bojorquez for the team’s punting job.’

Bills’ Duke Williams making noise to be on the opening day roster
‘Williams is not a kid that just got out of college. He’s 26-years-old and started with the Edmonton Eskimos in 2017. When Williams found out he was going to get some time with Josh Allen and the starters, he didn’t make too much of it, “It’s football. I don’t try to put no pressure on my shoulders, I just try to go out there and make plays, earn my teammates trust, earn the coaches trust and make the best of my opportunity.”’
The Bills release punter Cory Carter & claim a linebacker
‘As for Cory Carter, he suffered a season ending knee injury during the preseason last year, and dealt with injuries again in recent weeks. His release means that Corey Bojorquez is the lone punter on the roster. Does that mean he’ll be the Bills punter on opening day? He hasn’t quite been so good that that can be assumed.’
Morse progressing, Nsekhe returns
‘“As an offensive line we have to work as a cohesive group so getting the timing down of what everyone does is very important and key to our success,” Nsekhe said. “Practice is a little harder than the game so if we can just the reps and just continue to gel as a unit we’ll be alright.“’
Josh Allen: 4 Notable Quotes
‘Well, there’s always work to be done but having Mitch back is obviously great for us as an offense. The knowledge that he brings, the communication, the leadership that he brings. It’s just fun to have him out there again. There’s still a lot of things to work on that we’re going through through practice.’

Bills international star taking sudden stardom in stride
‘“We thought it would be a lot tougher of a transition coming from rugby to American football,” Jerry Hughes said. “He’s in a room with some Hall of Fame type running backs. Guys who are smart. Guys who understand the game. So, I’m sure he’s picking their brains, learning a lot.’
Bills claim defensive end Jeff Holland
‘An undrafted free agent from Auburn, Holland signed with the Denver Broncos following the 2018 NFL Draft. Holland spent most of 2018 on Denver’s practice squad before being activated for the final three games. Holland had six tackles in those games. He spent the majority of the 2019 offseason with Denver before being released in the middle of Denver’s training camp.’
Bills coaching intern Callie Brownson hoping to reinforce female hiring trend
‘“I first met Callie at the NFL Women’s Careers in Football Forum in Indianapolis through Buddy Teevens, the head coach at Dartmouth,” McDermott said. “She came highly recommended by him. I was immediately impressed by her enthusiasm for the game of football and her career aspirations. During training camp, she showed a tremendous work ethic and earned this opportunity. She is very driven, professional, smart, and eager to learn.”’
Bills Today: This rookie safety is making plays and leaning on vets for guidance
‘“A lot of the time it comes down to who that person is,” Coleman said. “Jaquan is eager to learn, he’s receptive, he doesn’t have an ego when you’re trying to tell him things. He soaks in a lot of the things that you’re trying to teach and show him.”’
Bills’ Robert Foster deals with ‘little turf toe situation’ as he looks to build on rookie season
‘”Everything happens for a reason,” he said. “Just continue to treat it and work on it and not let it affect my game, and just continue to grow. I mean, I can run. I can still run routes. I can do everything. But like I said, I can just control what I can control at the end of the day, and continue to just ball.”‘
Josh Allen’s preseason is over and let’s hope trying to do too much is too
‘Allen’s ability to run continued to be an important factor. He had two key scrambles, one in the first quarter to his right for 10 yards on second-and-18, and another picking up the first down on second-and-6, which occurred on the fourth play of the Bills’ scoring drive in the second quarter. Allen’s ability to run is a difference maker and this skill obviously makes the Buffalo offense more dangerous heading into the regular season.’
Jadeveon Clowney watch: Should the Buffalo Bills pursue a trade?
‘Let’s start with the biggest obstacle in a trade for Clowney. The Texans placed the franchise tag on him back on March 4 and failed to reach a multiyear deal with him by the July 15 deadline. That means any team that trades for the pass rusher will be getting him on just a one-year deal with no guarantee he’ll sign long term.’
What Bills’ Frank Gore said about Andrew Luck’s retirement; disappointing fan reaction
‘“They don’t understand this game’s tough, man,” Gore said. “Since he’s been there he’s had a lot of injuries and for the fans to boo him – that’s not right. This sport is tough.”’
