‘As dominant as they were as a unit against the Jets’ offense, some influential parts on defense may not play this Sunday. Two linebackers, Matt Milano and Tremaine Edmunds, went down against New York. Milano with a hamstring injury and Edmunds with a shoulder injury.

Bills excited to square off against former teammate Shaq Lawson
‘“He’s one of my favorites,” says McDermott. “Just a guy I loved being around for the few years we were around each other here. I can see why Miami did what they did in terms of going out to get him and we couldn’t be happier for Shaq.”’

‘”When I went to LSU I didn’t know he was going to end up there too,” said Reid. “I was trying to set a good example for him. Doing the best I can and working hard so when he got to LSU I got to show him the ropes for a year before I came to Buffalo. It’s something we’ve talked about for a long time.

What Josh Allen, Jordan Poyer + others said about Bills-Dolphins matchup
‘”Well, one is working on good habits and developing good habits whether I break the pocket and run, making sure the ball is tucked and where it’s supposed to be,” Allen said. “Two, it’s designed drills which coach [Ken] Dorsey puts us through and forces us to kind of get in weird positions, but also maintaining good ball security. So, really a combination of those two things. You don’t get a lot of live reps at it because it’s practice and we’re not really getting hit, but I think you can make strides in those two areas.”‘

There’s a lot of those little things that you try to build off of because we didn’t really have a preseason. We’re coming straight out of the gate and playing real football, so you don’t have the time to iron out the wrinkles.”‘
