‘Linebacker Matt Milano (hamstring), defensive end A.J. Epenesa (foot), and running back/special teamer Taiwan Jones (hamstring) all practiced in a limited capacity on Friday, but are questionable to play in the game.’

‘”I think it goes back to respecting each week, respecting every opponent each week and just trying to grow as a football team,” McDermott said with Sal Capaccio and “Sneaky Joe” DiBiase. “We certainly acknowledge where we were last year with this team and at the end of the season how it ended our year. That’s the human part of it. The other side is we have to focus on one week at a time and get ourselves ready to go this week.”‘

‘Milano was working off to the side with trainers, as most of the rest of the team was on the field just outside the ADPRO Sports Training Center.’

‘It is the first time in Edmunds’ career that he has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. He is the first Bills defensive player to earn the weekly honor from the National Football League since linebacker A.J. Klein in Week 12 last season against the Los Angeles Chargers.’

‘There will be plenty of talk about the dominance of this Bills defense through these first four games, and it certainly deserves plenty of recognition. But a broken down Ben Rothelisberger, a Tua Tagovailoa/Jacoby Brissett combo, Taylor Heinicke and finally Davis Mills on Sunday are far from measuring sticks.’

‘Meanwhile, the defense smothered a Texans offense that has basically one legitimate weapon and is struggling with a rookie quarterback.’

‘Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott told the media on Monday afternoon that linebacker Matt Milano, safety Jordan Poyer, and cornerback Taron Johnson are all day-to-day headed into this week as the team prepares to take on the defending AFC Champion Kansas City Chiefs Sunday night in Kansas City.’

‘Buffalo cruised to a win over the hapless Houston Texans on a rainy Sunday at Highmark Stadium. The weather was a factor, with both teams losing possession of the ball due to the wet conditions. It was the Bills who could capitalize on their opportunities.’

‘Remember the Zach Ertz trade that never ended up happening? Well, thank god, huh? Knox has looked like the type of player Bills fans hoped they were getting out of college. Most inside the organization had preached patience and for good reason. He was a walk-on quarterback at Ole Miss and had a dramatically raw skillset, so patience was going to be key to his development.’

‘The Bills fumbled the ball three times, and not just due to the weather.’

‘We already know the Bills will be without starting safety Jordan Poyer, as well as starting offensive guard John Feliciano. Jaquan Johnson is most likely the replacement for Poyer. He’s been in the organization for over two years and knows the system, but it’s hard to imagine Johnson being able to disguise all of the coverages and being as adept at the non-verbal communication as Poyer is with partner Micah Hyde.’

‘McDermott also said cornerback Taron Johnson (groin) and defensive end Efe Obada (ankle) are both questionable to play in Sunday’s game at Highmark Stadium.’

‘”He looks like he can make every throw,” McDermott said during his weekly appearance on the “Extra Point Show” with Sal Capaccio and “Sneaky Joe” DiBiase. “He’s tough. I mean, he’s taken some shots and gotten up. And [he’s] a smart, smart player. He played at a great school like Stanford and a great institution educationally like Stanford. I know he’s off to a great start. He’s got one of the highest, if not the highest rookie passer rating this season above all those other well-decorated and highly-celebrated players. We have a lot of respect for him, and that’ll be a challenge for us.”‘

‘Cornerback Taron Johnson (groin), guard Jon Feliciano (concussion), and defensive end Efe Obada (ankle) all missed practice after participating in some capacity on Wednesday. Safety Jordan Poyer did not practice for a second day in a row with an ankle injury.’

‘Poyer’s starting safety partner, Micah Hyde, was limited on Wednesday with a quad injury. Guard Jon Feliciano (illness) and cornerback Taron Johnson (groin) were also limited.’
