‘McDermott said that the Bills will open the 21-day practice window for linebacker Matt Milano while adding that he will not face the Chiefs. Milano has yet to play this year after undergoing surgery to repair a torn biceps back in August. Like Milano, rookie wideout Keon Coleman will also not be available for Sunday’s game. Coleman, who was inactive for this past Sunday’s win over the Colts, will continue to miss time as he deals with a wrist injury.’

‘Join Matt Ryan, Bill Cowher, Nate Burleson, James Brown and J.J. Watt — who may or may not jump through a table at a Bills Mafia tailgate — and CBS Sports NFL insider Jonathan Jones in Lot 6 at Highmark Stadium. The show will of course be broadcasted on CBS.’

‘When NFL on CBS’ Andrew Catalon was telling the story of Flacco and Hamlin during Sunday’s broadcast between the Colts and Bills, Hamlin ended up recovering a fumble by Flacco. In an incredible sequence, Bills pass rusher Gregory Rousseau forced a fumble on Flacco and Hamlin was there to recover in the third quarter.’

‘One of the most exciting games over the next few weeks is between the defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills. The NFL flexed the Cincinnati Bengals-Los Angeles Chargers game to “Sunday Night Football” that same week, meaning CBS will have a standalone national game in Week 11.’

‘Miami should be able to run the ball against Buffalo, which is currently 27th in the NFL in average yards-per-carry allowed. The question is whether or not the Dolphins can parlay that success into points. Miami’s offensive line also needs to hold its own against a defense that has sacked opposing quarterbacks 28 times.’

‘Miller’s suspension was handed down following allegations that he assaulted his pregnant girlfriend in November 2023. Miller turned himself in for a charge of third-degree felony assault of a pregnant woman. He was booked before being released on $5,000 bond. Miller said the allegations were “100% false” and that the case was closed. While no charges were filed, the NFL, of course, investigated the matter.’

‘Halloween may not be until Thursday, but the Buffalo Bills were downright scary during Sunday’s 31-10 thumping of the Seattle Seahawks.’

‘By reputation, Seattle’s Lumen Field is among one of the toughest places for visiting teams in the NFL thanks to both the play of the Seattle Seahawks and the rabid support of their fans. But as of late, the visiting team has found Seattle to be a much more comfortable place to play than expected — much to the detriment of this year’s Seahawks.’

‘In the social media promo, Coleman visits Niagara Falls with the help of Booking.com, and he puts on a performance worthy of an “I Think You Should Leave” sketch. Between a comically large tie, his outtakes being left in the video and the late-night infomercial graphics, Coleman should get a few laughs out of this ad campaign.’

‘On the same day his old quarterback Deshaun Watson went down with an injury for the Cleveland Browns, Amari Cooper found himself on the receiving end of a touchdown from his new signal-caller in Buffalo. Days after arriving via trade, the Bills pass catcher helped put his team ahead with his first catch in new threads, securing a 12-yard pass from Josh Allen to give Buffalo a third-quarter lead.’

‘”He will have an impact,” Barber told CBS Sports Thursday. “I don’t know how big it will be early on with Josh Allen and that different system they are likely going to be running. You know, for sure a guy who gets separation the way he does, for a big play target who is a smart, seasoned veteran. he will have an impact. The question is how big will it be?’

‘Bass is still the kicker in Buffalo, but he’s definitely on thin ice. Bills general manager Brandon Beane said that if he can find a better kicking option he’d have to at least consider it.’

‘In Buffalo, Cooper should seamlessly slide into the WR1 void left by Stefon Diggs offseason departure to the Houston Texans. His air yards made up the fifth-highest share of team air yards (46.9%) in the first six weeks of the 2024 season, and the Bills were the only team in the entire league without a receiver over 26%, per the NFL’s Next Gen Stats. Mack Hollins’ 21.4% air yards team share ranked as the highest by a Bills receiver entering Week 7. Cooper also has more career receiving touchdowns (62) than every other wide receiver on Buffalo’s roster combined (61). His production should slot in similarly or more better than what Diggs produced across the last three seasons with Cooper having the edge in yards per reception.’

‘He has 188 career receptions for 3,181 yards and 16 touchdowns. He has just two receptions for 26 yards this season.’

‘The 30-year-old Cooper just reworked his contract with the Browns ahead of the 2024 season, but will now go from one of the NFL’s worst teams to a potential AFC title contender in Buffalo, which bested the Jets to stay atop the AFC East on Monday night. He sought a pay raise in Cleveland over the summer, and had struggled to stay on the same page as quarterback Deshaun Watson during the Browns’ 1-5 start.’
