‘“I feel very confident that I’m going to be just fine in the future,” said the center. “We’ve done all the tests, every single one you can do, and every one was just tip top and all the specialists said I’m gonna be just fine.”’

Center Mitch Morse cleared to chart course for Bills offensive line
‘“It’s a blessing to be honest,” Morse said of returning to the field. “The game of football is full of tremendous highs and tremendous lows. And unfortunately injuries are some of the lowest parts of this game. It takes a whole village to get you out of those lows, whether it be the staff here, which did an unbelievable job of giving me every tool and resource available, friends and family and teammates.”’
How the defensive line uses extensive film study to gain an edge with their pass rush
‘“When I’m (inside) with Ed (Oliver), it’ll be me calling it with that group,” said Alexander. “If Harrison (Phillips) rotates in with me as well then I’ll let Harrison call it. So it just depends what the package is. And if I’m on the outside whoever is inside will make the call because it’s hard to communicate things all the way across from the end position.”’
Quick Hits: Mitch Morse and Quinton Spain back practicing
‘With Spain it’s evident that the team is taking a more calculated approach. “We’ll just see how practice goes,” said McDermott as it pertains to Spain. “How he feels out there and take it one rep at a time.”’
Bills add quarterback Davis Webb and two others to the practice squad

Bills Today: Devin Singletary preps for an increased role as a rookie running back
‘“I didn’t know what to expect,” Singletary said. “I just knew I was going to come in and work hard. I knew I had vets in front of me, so I knew I was going to be a sponge.”’
LeSean McCoy: ‘I never expected to fall in love’ with Buffalo
‘”If there is anything that my 11 years in the league has taught me it is to always expect the unexpected. I never expected to become a Buffalo Bill and I never expected to fall in love with the city and the amazing fans,” McCoy wrote. “However, that is exactly what happened.”‘
Bills’ roster shaping up as Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott planned
‘Long gone are the days when the Bills’ acquisitions were largely made without rhyme or reason. There once was far more emphasis on splash — which resulted in the trade that brought McCoy to Buffalo and other players who are elsewhere — than substance. If a blueprint existed, it was pretty much indecipherable. The GM did his thing, the coach did his. Whatever was on the field was mainly filling out a lineup, hoping it would find a way to win rather than with a true sense of purpose of what must happen to get that done.’
Receiver Duke Williams, linebacker Eddie Yarbrough on Bills’ practice squad
‘Beane did not rule out bringing back quarterback Tyree Jackson, another UB product who was waived Saturday, although that seems unlikely.’

Taking a look at Bills’ roster with cut to 53
‘How many players remain from the Bills roster when coach Sean McDermott and general manager Brandon Beane took over the roster in 2017? Give up? How about four … three defenders and a special teamer.’
Unpacking Buffalo Bills’ decision to cut RB LeSean McCoy. Is Devin Singletary ready?
‘Beane said part of the decision to release McCoy was the uncertainty around whether he’d accept a lesser role.’
Buffalo Bills GM: Why Isaiah McKenzie over Duke Williams? Cody Ford a RG or RT? Is team set at punter?
‘“Isaiah came in last year and brought some juice to our offense, some explosive plays. He’s a vertical threat but also an underneath threat. I thought he showed that he can run in this offense and fit in that mold again,” Beane said. “Preseason is hard because these guys are mixed in with different quarterbacks and different groups. I thought in his opportunities he did a nice job of showing he had that explosive element.”’
Buffalo Bills (almost) sign top free agent to address most pressing need
‘“Colquitt, 34, spent the past three years in Cleveland and punted for six years in Denver, where he won a Super Bowl with the Broncos in 2015. That team was coached by Gary Kubiak, the Vikings’ new assistant head coach. Sources said Colquitt was on his way to sign with the Bills before he was persuaded to reunite with Kubiak in Minnesota.”’
