Report: Isaiah McKenzie to have MRI on shoulder
‘After catching a pass, McKenzie took a hit from Bills safety Jordan Poyer, who appeared to be trying to stop as to not hit the wideout. However, McKenzie ran into him pretty hard and stayed down on the field for several minutes while being tended to by trainers. He walked off on his own power, but very much favoring his left shoulder area as he headed into the team’s facility.’
Beane: ‘This can happen in the regular season’
‘”The unfortunate part of it is, this can happen in the regular season, even if you’re not positive,” he said via a Zoom conference call. “If you are a close contact to someone who [tests positive], depending on when that contact is, it’s five days from when you were in close proximity to them.”‘

Opinion: Bills at Bears: Arrow Up/Arrow Down
‘Fromm didn’t have a very good game throwing the ball, finishing only 3-for-7 for 20 yards, but he was also under duress and sacked twice. While Fromm was playing quarterback, the Bills only had two possessions, gained 28 total net yards, and punted on both possessions.’
Kumerow: I’m always trying to be ‘humble and hungry’
‘”It’s kind of a mindset we use here as a team: Be hungry and humble. That’s kind of how I take my career. Whether I’m with a new team, in a new town, new place, coming from college to the NFL, I’m always trying to stay hungry, try to always earn my spot and never taking anything for granted. And then you’ve got to stay humble too. You’ve got to make sure that you’re out there working hard and being a good teammate. Football is a lot of fun for me, so I just enjoy being out there and doing my thing wherever I’m at.”‘
Wilkinson: ‘Pegulas would love to do what it takes to keep the Bills in Buffalo’
‘”The Pegulas have made a proposal. They would like to build [the stadium] right there [in Orchard Park], and we need to hear back. You can’t really do plans and designs on things until you have a deal. Right now, the City of Buffalo and the state are going to have to decide if they want a team.”‘

Josh Allen continues hot training camp
‘At one point it appeared some defensive players were getting visibly frustrated with not being able to stop Allen and the passing offense, which wasn’t full of big plays, but just hit completion after completion down the field.’
Bills’ Allen hasn’t been told if he’s playing Saturday in Chicago.
‘If it were up to Allen he’d play. He said, “I love playing and I want to be out there with my teammates, but again, if I don’t I get to, I’ll sit back and watch my teammates make some plays.’
Dion Dawkins returns to action; Stefon Diggs still out
‘Left tackle Dion Dawkins saw his first team reps of camp, rotating in several different times during 11-on-11 work against the defense. Dawkins had missed roughly the first two weeks of training camp while on the Reserve/COVID-19 list, and had only been doing conditioning and individual position work since returning last week.’
Bills release five players
‘With these moves, the Bills now have 86 players on their active roster, counting running back Christian Wade, who is exempt from the roster limit as part of the International Pathway Program. So the team doesn’t have to make any more moves prior to Tuesday’s deadline.’
