‘Buffalo general manager Brandon Beane told pool reporter Mar Gaughan that Miller didn’t have a setback but added “we don’t want to rush him back.”’

‘“Just going to wait a little bit, wait a little bit, let the swelling go down for about seven to 10 days. And hopefully right before the Jets game, I will be back.”’

‘Per Schefter, Miller did not tear his ACL, but doctors are still evaluating the damage done to his knee and will eventually determine how much time is missed. The timeline for his return is uncertain, with Schefter noting that the linebacker could only miss few weeks or could be out for the season.’

‘“GET RID OF TURF,” Beckham tweeted.’

‘The injury came in the second quarter of the Thanksgiving game while Miller was going to sack Detroit quarterback Jared Goff. As he broke through Lions linemen, Miller seemingly slipped on the turf and fell immediately. He was later carted to the locker room just a few minutes before halftime.’

‘KHOU meteorologist Tim Pandajis cut into the broadcast of the game to inform viewers about severe weather that included a tornado warning in the Houston area. The station did not incorporate a picture-in-picture treatment or split-screen format to allow viewers to continue watching the game while the weather report was issued.’

‘A sliding door on the side of Dawkins’s house had been sealed shut behind a wall of snow and, if he’d not had a small, elevated patio, with steps that spared one door from the worst of the accumulation, he’d have had an even harder time getting out. “If my back door was my front door,” he said, “it would’ve been impossible.”’

‘The Bills are scheduled to leave from Buffalo Niagara International Airport at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday. Whether that is feasible is a fair question. The runways at the airport reopened at 9:25 a.m., the airport announced, after closing at 5:30 a.m. with a reported 25 inches of snow falling on the tarmac by Saturday morning. Even so, flights out of Buffalo have been subject to significant delays and cancellations throughout the day so far.’

‘The Bills said in a statement that the decision was made due to “public safety concerns and out of an abundance of caution,” as the Buffalo area is expected to receive as much as six feet of snow from the incoming storm.’

‘On the play after Minnesota receiver Justin Jefferson hauled in a 24-yard pass on the sidelines, the Vikings lined up on first-and-goal on the Buffalo 2-yard line with 5:17 remaining in the extra period. Tailback Dalvin Cook took the carry but was tackled for a three-yard loss, pushing the Vikings further away from the end zone.’

‘The Buffalo quarterback was dominant at times, but he turned the ball over twice during crucial stretches where his team could have sealed a thrilling win. After the loss to the Vikings, Allen took the blame.’

‘But that didn’t stop the Vikings from scoring. The Minnesota defense then forced a fumble and recovered the ball in the end zone for a touchdown with 48 seconds left. The ruling on the field stood after review.’

‘Reporters on the scene shared that Allen was not seen on the field at the beginning of the team’s workout on Friday. The star quarterback already missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday of this week with a right elbow injury, according to the Bills’ official injury report.’

‘“Josh Allen, believed to be dealing with an elbow sprain, a UCL sprain, which is something he’s had in the past,” NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday morning. “Not considered to be a major, major injury which means the belief is it is something he can play through.”’

‘Allen is expected to be limited in practice this week, but NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Buffalo doesn’t believe the injury will keep him out of a game at this moment. If Allen’s injury does force him to miss games, backup quarterback Case Keenum will likely get the start.’
