‘“It’s been great,” Stroud said. “I think he got a bad rap just by the media and by people. He’s been nothing but just amazing to this team and to his teammates. … I’m glad that he’s finally having fun playing the game and doing what he loves to do, because he loves football a lot.”’

Bills-Texans numbers to know: These 4 stats could shape Buffalo’s game at Houston

Bills Mailbag: What Von Miller’s suspension means for his contract status
‘The easiest way to put it regarding Miller’s suspension and his future contract status is this: It doesn’t do much to change things. If the Bills cut Miller after this season, they’ll be on the hook for $15.417 million on the 2025 salary cap, but will save $8.457 million. If they designated Miller as a post-June 1 cut, he’ll count $6.374 million on the 2025 cap and $9.043 million on the 2026 cap, but the savings in 2025 would be $17.5 million. Any incentives that Miller earns this year based on his sack total will count on the Bills’ 2025 cap. The overwhelming likelihood remains this is Miller’s final year in Buffalo.’

Five Takes: Bills enter revenge game vs. Diggs banged up; Will BUF have enough to overcome HOU?
‘Defensively, two rookies will likely be thrust into the starting lineup, with S Cole Bishop already declared the Week 5 starter by head coach Sean McDermott and DT DeWayne Carter set to slot in alongside DaQuan Jones along the interior of Buffalo’s front four. Bishop looked uncomfortable at times after seeing an increase in playing time following Rapp’s injury against Baltimore, while Carter recorded a tackle for loss late in the game, but has put a small sample size on tape in terms of playing meaningful snaps through four games.’
