‘Raiders general manager Mike Mayock was also a fan of Jones coming out of college when he worked as a draft analyst at NFL Network. He had Jones as his fourth-ranked wide receiver in the 2017 draft, ahead of JuJu Smith-Schuster and Cooper Kupp.’

‘The defensive tackle wrote that Lewan should get drug tested again and called him a “soft cry baby.” Phillips then shared a couple of videos of Lawson tying up Lewan so Phillips could get his second sack, followed by a tweet with a screen grab of a story about Lewan failing a drug test earlier this year with “People don’t forget (at)taylorlewan77.”‘

‘Buffalo released offensive lineman Conor McDermott on Thursday, prompting speculation that the team would add a quarterback to its 53-man roster before Sunday’s game. Allen’s clearance from concussion protocol likely means that final roster spot will be used on another position.’

‘”We’ll get them both ready — I mean, as much as we can with Josh being in the protocol,” McDermott said. “He’ll do some drill work out there, some individual drill work, but other than that all I can see is he’s in the protocol.”‘

‘Of the hit on Allen, Brady said: “You never like to see anyone get hurt out there. Football is a contact sport. It’s part of football. … Those defensive players are very fast and very physical.”‘

‘Allen remained motionless on the turf for a few moments early in the fourth quarter following a helmet-to-helmet hit from Patriots safety Jonathan Jones, who was flagged on the play but not ejected. Matt Barkley nearly led a scoring drive on his first series but threw an incompletion on fourth down from the Patriots 3-yard line.’

‘In his second season out of Stanford, Phillips established himself as a key player on the Bills’ interior defensive line through three games in 2019.’

‘”I absolutely wanted to stay away from Buffalo,” Megan says. “The organization just didn’t have a great reputation. When you’re in the league, you hear things, and records show things.”‘

‘”Um, [there’s] one New York team,” he said, pointing and winking at the reporter. “I’m just kidding. But I care about what the Bills are doing, how our teammates respond, how I play. To have a ‘C’ on my chest and to go out there and put everything on the line for those guys is what I’m striving to do.”‘

‘The suspension stemmed from Dodson’s offseason arrest in Scottsdale, Arizona, in May on domestic violence and disorderly conduct charges, after his girlfriend told police he became violent with her during an argument and stole money from her.’

‘”Yesterday she got a call from her doctor that the cancer is gone and nothing lit up,” Peko said Wednesday. “I’m super ecstatic about it. My wife called me later on that day crying, super happy. She called me crying, so I wasn’t sure what was going on, I wasn’t sure what news I was about to hear. But then I got a smile out of her and she told me all the good news.”‘

‘Buffalo realistically could win six of its first eight. Factor in games against the Dolphins, Broncos and Jets in the second half of the season, and a nine-win season is more conceivable than a seven-win season.’

‘The six-time Pro Bowler and two-time All-Pro appeared destined to wind up with an AFC West team as a source said the Los Angeles Chargers were the other team pursuing him following his release.’

‘Morse, the highest-paid center in the league, suffered a concussion July 27, the Bills’ third day of training camp and first day in full pads.’

‘”If it’s something she really wants to do, not only will I help her out — if she wants it — but I hope she goes for it. I do think it’s possible to kick well in this league as a female. It’s a very mental position, it’s physical, it’s technical and I think it could be done eventually.”‘
