Coordinator Frazier Provides Bills Calm, Reassuring Presence
‘“That really opened a lot of us guys’ eyes to be like, `OK, as much as we’re talking about change, we have a coach, one of our mentors, a friend, who lived this and is reliving it to this day,‘” defensive end Jerry Hughes said. “Whenever he’s talking to you, we sit there, shut up and just soak it all in.”’
Buffalo Bills add receiver Gabriel Davis, offensive lineman Cody Ford to COVID-19 list
‘”It’s gonna be kind of interchangeable parts right now,” coach Sean McDermott said. “I hate to say that without giving you a straight answer here, but that’s the best I know.

Bills place Gabriel Davis and Cody Ford on reserve/COVID-19 list, Davis will miss matchup vs. Patriots
‘The NFL recently updated its COVID-19 protocols so that vaccinated individuals can “test out” of protocol, but as we have seen over the past week, it does not guarantee anything. It also makes it seem less likely for a player like Ford to return, since he was placed on the list two days before the game. Beasley, who is the Bills’ second leading receiver with 640 yards and one touchdown, will certainly be missed in the slot, but Davis will be as well, as he has been coming on as of late. He has caught four touchdowns over the last three games, and caught five passes for 85 yards and two scores last week against the Carolina Panthers.’
