‘“Daequan’s a young player, so the decision making needs work,” McDermott said. “He knows that. I know that. We’ve got to be intentional about exposing him to some of those situations where he has to make a tough decision. Under pressure I’ll call it, right? I think we can improve a lot in that area.”’

Bills notebook: Buffalo signs another quarterback as injuries mount; team parts ways with wide receiver
‘The Bills have played two preseason games and lost two back-up quarterbacks. Shane Buechele (neck) was placed on injured reserve after the loss to the Chicago Bears on Aug. 10 and Trubisky was injured during Saturday’s win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.’
Bills stock report: Defensive issues highlight two preseason games, but some things are looking up
‘Offensive tackle Tylan Grable. The sixth-round pick has played a ton, with 35 snaps against Chicago and 34 against Pittsburgh. He’s athletic in pass protection and looks like he needs to stick as the No. 4 tackle.’
Keon Coleman has worked his way up the Bills WR depth chart despite dropped TD pass
‘Obviously he has moved on and has chalked it up as a learning experience, but it still bothers him that he did not reach out a little further to haul in a pass that all top-flight NFL receivers would have caught.’
Once a longshot, this Buffalo native may have earned a spot on the Bills roster
‘Linebacker Joe Andreessen has certainly worked his way into the conversation for being in the latter group for the Buffalo Bills, and the way he has performed this summer, it may no longer be a surprise to see him make the initial 53-man roster when it is announced next Tuesday.’
Bills’ Keon Coleman speaks on dropped TD vs. Steelers: ‘Got to make that catch’
‘“Definitely, I feel like any ball come my way, I can catch it, honestly,” he said. “(It was) Just a drop. Focus drop. Got to look the ball in and make the play.”’
Buffalo Bills fan wins once-in-a-lifetime prize at Fanatics Fest
‘Sarah Peterson recently attended Fanatics Fest, a three-day event, at the Javits Center in New York City. In an email she received about attending the event, Peterson noticed information on a costume contest with the winner receiving tickets to every major sports championship.’
Bishop returns, several other injury updates, Bass up and down at Tuesday Bills practice
‘Bishop (shoulder) returned to practice in a limited capacity, wearing a red non-contact jersey throughout his first appearance in uniform since July 30. The second-round pick participated in positional work, with the exception of tackling drills, but was sidelined throughout team drills.’
Bills rookie Keon Coleman more focused on mental aspects than physical as regular season approaches
‘“You can understand the rhythm that they play at, the type of things they like to take away,” Coleman said. “And then from watching the film, taking into account the guys they’re probably going against are not, you know, the same size or your speed and could do the different things that you can do. So just imagining how I would stop myself, pretty much, is the same way they are imagining how to stop me when I’m going out there.”’
Training Camp Takeaways: Rookie Cole Bishop returns to practice after missing three weeks
‘Although Bishop hasn’t been on the field, he’s been able to learn from a veteran group of safeties, especially Edwards, who have played a combined 480 NFL games and 295 starts. Watching from the sidelines has given Bishop a different perspective as he tries to learn Buffalo’s defensive system.’
Bills QB Josh Allen Blindly Guessing Different Types of Milk Is Just Too Funny
‘The 28-year-old is a dream player for the Bills’ social media team, too, because he’s seemingly always up for doing whatever wild thing they ask of him. The most recent one had Allen blindly tasting different milks while trying to guess what they were.’
The Bills should enter the Brandon Aiyuk trade saga
‘I know, I know – it’s basically a two-team staredown between Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Omar Khan and San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch. However, wouldn’t you like them to at least call? It’s not every day that a star of Aiyuk’s caliber is seemingly available, and the Bills’ biggest need right now is receiver. And while they are clearly leaning into a more efficiency-over-knockout blow type of offense, you can still do that with Aiyuk on the roster. He’s spent his career in that exact type of offense anyway.’
Should Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott be on the hot seat?
‘It could happen. In addition to all the turnover and newness of Buffalo’s roster and coaching staff, this is a team that continues to have hard luck in the injury department. It isn’t inconceivable that the Bills will regress, rather than progress, in 2024.’
Tom Brady labels Bills as biggest threat to the Chiefs
‘“I think it’s still the Bills or the Bengals,” Brady said.’
Bishop, Toohill return to Bills practice on Tuesday
