‘The idea of keeping things in perspective is certainly something McDermott has learned to do over his five years as head coach of the Bills. Since he has taken the helm, his teams have gone 3-2 in Week 1 matchups, with all three wins coming against the New York Jets.’

‘“I wanted to thank everybody. I’ve really felt a lot of love and support the last few weeks with my brother,” said Knox on Monday. “My family’s been very thankful, and just everybody in Buffalo have been incredible. The amount of texts I’ve gotten, the messages, the posts, the moment of silence for the preseason game. It’s just been everything that I’ve expected out of Buffalo and more, because this city’s incredible. It’s meant the world to me, and I think they raised over $200,000 for the P.U.N.T. Foundation in my brother’s name. It’s really mind blowing the support that I’ve had, so it’s just an absolute blessing.’

‘This is Dorsey’s first season as offensive coordinator and the Rams are defending Super Bowl Champions and he said there aren’t too many secrets on that side of the ball either, “They’re incredibly talented all over the board and he’s (Aaron Donald) one of the best players in football. They pose a lot of different problems, not only personnel wise, but scheme, so it’s not only trying to slow him down, but that front is a very talented group.”’

‘Only two players did not practice on Monday. Backup offensive tackle Tommy Doyle and backup tight end Quintin Morris worked with trainers off to the side as the team worked just outside the ADPRO Sports Training Center.’

‘Wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie and defensive tackle Tim Settle, Jr. were both back on the field after missing time recently due to injuries.’

‘Those nine players include quarterback Josh Allen, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, center Mitch Morse, linebackers Von Miller and Tremaine Edmunds, safeties Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer, and special teamers Taiwan Jones and Tyler Matakevich.’

‘”Tre’s in a good spot, he’s working hard.” Beane said of his All-Pro cornerback. “Remember, it’s a long season so he’ll still play a considerable amount of games, and far he’s experienced no setbacks. We’ll start trying to get him ready as soon as he is able. He’s still doing all the drills that you saw him doing in training camp.”‘

‘The Buffalo Bills filled out their practice squad on Thursday by announcing the signing of tight end Zach Davidson, cornerback Kyler McMichael, and offensive tackle Ryan Van Demark.’

‘The Fayetteville, Georgia native can also handle kickoffs. He served as the Lions primary kickoff specialist throughout his nine years in Detroit.’

‘Some of the notable names that will remain with the Bills going forward includes quarterback Matt Barkley, running back Raheem Blackshear, and wide receivers Isaiah Hodgins and Tavon Austin.’

‘The earliest White will be eligible to begin practicing would be Monday, Oct. 3 after missing games against the Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, and Baltimore Ravens.’

‘Unless something goes wrong, Poyer believes he’ll play against the Rams, “I expect to be out there as long as there’s no setbacks. It feels really good now and I’m working hard to try to get it to 100% before the first game.”’

‘Of course both were very somber as they spoke and Beane said, “The last 48 hours has been very difficult for a lot of people and we sympathize with this whole situation, all the parties involved, this young woman, what she went through, you really feel bad for that whole situation and ultimately, this is a legal situation and we don’t know all the facts and that’s what makes it hard, but at this time, we just think it’s the best move for everyone to move on from Matt and let him take care of this situation and focus on that so we’re going to part ways.”‘

‘Poyer wore a red-non contact jersey during the roughly hour and ten minute session just outside the ADPRO Sports Training Center.’

‘Ultimately, the Bills were not able to produce anything offensively all game. Despite flashes late in the third quarter and early on in the fourth, the team would fall short every drive.’
