‘According to the letter sent to McKenzie, the 26-year-old was seen on two separate occasions by league personnel visiting Orchard Park on Wednesday not wearing a mask. The first instance came at approximately 2:15 p.m. ET when he walked through the fieldhouse and into the training room. Then at around 4:35 p.m. ET, McKenzie was seen again without a mask for “several minutes” while in a meeting area of the weight room with other players.’

‘If all five Bills players were both vaccinated against COVID-19, they would not have to go through the five-day waiting period to return to action. However, according to the league’s COVID-19 protocols, unvaccinated players must undergo the five-day period if they are deemed close contacts of someone who has tested positive for the virus.’

‘The Bills had until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday to trim the roster down to 81 players. All 32 teams around the league must trim their rosters down to 80 players by that time, but the Bills have one roster exemption with running back Christian Wade still a part of the International Pathway Program.’

‘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.’

‘”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.”‘

‘In two seasons with the Bills, Williams dressed for five games and caught twelve passes for 166 yards and a touchdown.’

‘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.’

‘”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.”‘

‘”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.”‘

‘Wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie was a particular standout on offense. He was on the receiving end of several passes from Trubisky and other quarterbacks, and also showed his quickness and elusiveness with the ball in his hands.’
