Bills running back Zack Moss shakes off rust after ankle injury

‘Moss missed the first game of the preseason with that hamstring injury. He had just four carries for 21 yards against the Bears in the second game of the preseason. But as the Bills steamrolled Chicago, there wasn’t any need for more from him. He may get a few more reps in Saturday’s preseason finale against Green Bay, but either way, he knows what he needs to do to feel he’s ready for Week 1.’

Observations: Stefon Diggs looking like himself in return to team drills

‘“Leadership. A great teammate. Ready to go mentally,” offensive coordinator Brian Daboll said about Diggs before practice. “He was an awesome addition. Great to have him. He’s a leader, I’d say, on and off the field. He’s done a good job with the things we’ve been able to do.”’

After dealing with COVID-19, Bills OG Ike Boettger is battling to win a starting job

‘He was the starting left guard for 10 games counting the postseason, and according to Pro Football Focus grading, among guards the 92 guards who played at least 20% of his team’s regular-season snaps, Boettger ranked 35th in the NFL and was Buffalo’s top-rated guard, just ahead of Feliciano (40th) and well ahead of Ford (74th).’

New players call for adjustments on offense and five other observations from Bills camp

‘“We’re starting over,” Daboll said Wednesday. “You equate it to people that like to climb mountains, right. Climb up but then maybe you get to the top, maybe you don’t get to the top. You start over the next mountain climb, so we’re really at the base of the mountain. Our expectations are just to go out there and do as good as we can do.”‘

Who is Steven Sims? Bills’ new WR could play Isaiah McKenzie role in Week 3 of preseason (5 things to know)

‘Sims, 24, was recently released by the Washington Football Team. The wide receiver could simply be a body for the Bills in their final preseason game but Sims should get opportunities to prove what he can do with the team suddenly short-handed at wide receiver due to injuries and two receivers–Cole Beasley and Gabriel Davis–having to exit the facility due to being close contacts with a COVID positive trainer.’

Bills sign wide receiver Steven Sims

‘In his first two years in Washington, Sims played in 28 games while reeling in 61 receptions for 575 yards and five touchdowns. Sims was also a key contributor in the return game for Washington, totaling 35 kick returns that averaged 24.6 yards per-return and a touchdown, while also returning 30 total punts for 186 yards.’

Jake Kumerow carving out a role in crowded Bills WR room

‘”The way that Coach Daboll has the offense drawn up, I like to be able to help him out in any way possible,” Kumerow said. “Being able to fit in on the offense but also fitting in on special teams. Being able to make plays and help us out, give us good feel position, and just be an all-around player. I love it here.”‘

WR Jake Kumerow seems to be a lock for a spot on the Bills 53-man roster

‘“The way that Coach Dabs has the offense drawn up I like to be able to help him out in any way possible whether it’s being an outside guy, an inside guy, being able to make blocks, being down on the line of scrimmage making blocks,” Kumerow said after practice on Wednesday.’

Bills QB coach Ken Dorsey guiding the most talented unit in the league

‘“My job is to constantly push them to get better. It’s their job to have that inner desire and inner fuel to get there and that burning desire to get better each and every day,” said Dorsey. “I’m going to push them to do that, that’s my job. I’m very fortunate where I can look anybody in the eye and say I’ve got four guys in my room who embody that attitude.”’

Bruce Smith believes in the Bills rookie pass rushers

‘The legendary pass rusher was working with rookies Greg Rousseau and Boogie Basham. Rousseau, the Bills first-round pick this year, wasn’t even a year old when Smith was terrorizing quarterbacks in Buffalo.’
