‘Wide receiver John Brown returned to the field after missing Wednesday with a calf injury, but appeared to possibly re-aggravate it during a rep. Brown was listed as limited on Thursday.’

‘Starting in Tennessee, the Titans have had two more players test positive for COVID-19 after two consecutive days of negative tests throughout the organization. ESPN NFL reporter Dianna Russini at first reported that it was one Titans player to test positive, but senior NFL reporter Albert Breer later added that an additional player also tested positive for the coronavirus.’

‘At the time of the alleged workout, the Titans’ facility was closed due to their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers being postponed after the initial outbreak. According to Kuharsky, a group of players worked out at a local private school after being told not to.’

‘Cornerback Josh Norman made his Bills’ debut Sunday after Wallace went down and is now expected to start opposite Tre’Davious White. However, White was one of nine players who did not fully participate in practice on Wednesday. He was listed on the team’s official injury report as having a back injury.’

‘”Talking about Josh Allen, man he looks awesome,” Favre said. “That kid is a tremendous talent, he can sling it, he can move. For a big guy, he can really move. But more than anything… what we’re seeing now is he’s taking it to the next level. He’s winning games.”‘

‘Wallace injured his ankle on the Raiders’ first offensive series and was replaced by Josh Norman, who made his Bills’ debut after being on injured reserve for the first three weeks of the season with an injured hamstring.’

‘“Absolutely,” NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport said Monday on The DA Show. “Absolutely I [think they are]. Yesterday was good. I thought that was a nice, tough win yesterday. I don’t quite know what the Raiders are yet. They feel kind of like a 7-9, maybe 8-8 team. We’ll see, but that’s kind of what they feel like. So it was a totally fine, good win.”’

‘Thanks, in large part, to the guy pulling the trigger, the Bills now have an offense that will give opposing defensive coordinators nightmares. The Bills are now the team where the opponent talks about needing to shorten the game against them, keep their offense off the field, and how field goals won’t be enough to beat them. Basically all the things we would say about other explosive offenses over the years.’

‘There are a few other new realities going on that everyone needs to get used to. Not just in Buffalo, but around the country. Heck, those outside of Buffalo probably need to get used to them even moreso because they either didn’t believe the change, weren’t paying attention enough, or flat out resisted it.’

‘I don’t know how hard it might have been for McDermott to choose this path. Remember, how we all may have felt about the style points, the Bills coach has been in the playoffs two years out of three. I have no idea if McDermott was resistant at all to turning the Bills into a passing machine, but continuing to favor a conservative approach certainly wouldn’t have been indefensible, especially to a defensive minded head coach.’

‘For the majority of the game, the Buffalo Bills found themselves in another wire-to-wire battle. But another fourth quarter resurgence led to a hard-fought victory on the road.’

‘The Bills ran for only 2.6 yards per carry. That’s not a really low number and one that would certainly be noticed a lot more if Josh Allen wasn’t throwing the ball so well and the passing game not carrying the offense.’

‘Prior to Washington, Norman had spent his first four NFL seasons in Carolina after the Panthers selected him in the fifth round (143rd overall) of the 2012 NFL Draft. Those four years were all spent playing under current Bills head coach Sean McDermott, who was the team’s defensive coordinator at the time.’

‘The Bills had a tough time stopping the run last week against the Rams, giving up 167 yards rushing and 5.2 yards per-carry. The big, physical Rams offensive line dominated them at the point of attack. The Raiders also have a big and physical line and are averaging 125 yards per game on the ground.’

‘The Buffalo Bills have released their final injury report of the week and defensive end Mario Addison was a surprise addition with a knee injury. He is listed as “questionable” for their game this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.’
