We’re not the investigators,” Beane said. “We don’t, obviously, you know, we had our conversations with Von and understood what he believes happened and so, from that standpoint we can’t get into it. It’s an open investigation, and so we’ll just, we’ll let the legal process play out, and he’ll participate like normal in practice.”‘

Bills open practice window for TE Dawson Knox, CB Kaiir Elam, paving way for their return from injuries
‘Buffalo has been without Knox since Week 7, when he suffered a wrist injury during the team’s loss to the division rival New England Patriots. Prior to the injury, Knox had caught just 15 of 28 passes thrown his way for a mere 102 yards and one touchdown.

Opinion: What to watch for while ‘in the hunt’
‘The Bills winning will always be an obvious need. At the start of the season, this game looked like the usual challenge. Now? The Chiefs look legitimately vulnerable. So are the Bills, but this game now levels itself back to even again. Buffalo’s offense has been buzzing as of late, while Kansas City’s defense has been solid. The Chiefs offense has been an issue more than not, with their receivers becoming a major issue. Can a depleted Bills defense focus on Travis Kelce enough to make the Chiefs sweat?’

‘“When you look at the Tush Push he dives at somebody’s knees every play and tries to roll them up,” said Phillips. “For him to speak on somebody being dirty, I don’t think he has any right or any means to call for a fine when he does a whole bunch of stuff. I think it’s crazy for him to even mention that.”’
