‘Josh Allen and the first team offense started the day with a touchdown pass on the very first play as the teams worked a goal-line situation. Allen hit running back James Cook for ftwo touchdown passes on the first.’

‘“It’s different players that you’re going against and we know these guys, we’ve played them quite a few times in the last few years. They’ve got one of the greatest coaches of all-time (Mike Tomlin) and some really special players on defense, so it’s good to go up and practice against them to gauge where you’re at.”’

‘DiNucci has played three games in his NFL career, starting one game in 2020 for the Dallas Cowboys. In that game, he completed 21-of-40 passes for 180 yards with no touchdowns and no interceptions. The game was a 23-9 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.’

‘As first reported by ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler on Monday, the Bills have signed wide receiver Damiere Byrd, who was recently let go of by the Washington Commanders back on July 31. In addition, the team has added wideout Deon Cain to the fold.’

‘However, the team can work out an injury settlement within the next seven days with either player. If that happens, they would be released with that settlement and eventually able to re-sign with the Bills for whatever amount of weeks that settlement is, plus an additional three weeks. The amount of weeks of the settlement is not made public.’

‘The Buffalo Bills only had one quarterback at practice on Monday in Orchard Park after Mitch Trubisky was excused for personal reasons, and third-string quarterback Shane Buechele hurt his neck during Saturday’s preseason game against the Chicago Bears.’

‘McDermott revealed on Monday that third-string quarterback Shane Beuchele suffered a neck injury, which will put him out of the lineup for an “extended period of time.”‘

‘According to a report from ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler on Monday, the Bills are signing wide receiver Damiere Byrd, who was recently let go of by the Washington Commanders back on July 31.’

‘Bills quarterback Josh Allen played only two series completing two of three passes. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams led all quarterbacks in passing with 95 yards.’

‘”The standard is the standard. It’s the standard even in a preseason game, preseason week one,” McDermott said, adding “I don’t care who it is, where we’re playing, what time of day we play, or in this case preseason game number one, there is a standard and an expectation when you put the colors on of the Buffalo Bills to come out and play a lot better than we did and coach a lot better than we did.”‘

‘”The first first drive three. Now, got to get a good first down there, and then that second drive”. Allen said postgame. “It was only three plays until I got yanked. So whole lot of effort getting ready to play and getting those few snaps, but I understand the reasoning behind it.”‘

‘The Bills got stuffed most of the afternoon, gaining a total of 77 yards on the ground and averaging just 3.0 yards per carry. Outside of quarterback runs, they totaled 36 yards and 1.89 yards per run.’

‘”At first, it was a crash course, and I’m still learning as much as I can. But this is football, and sometimes you’ve just got to roll with the punches,” said Burgess following Thursday’s final practice of training camp at St. John Fisher University. “I’m just blessed to have another opportunity, and I just love playing football.”‘

‘Along with the starting offense will come several different wide receivers who should get a crack at playing with Allen. The top four seem pretty set. Curtis Samuel, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Mack Hollins. After that, Tyrell Shavers is making a really strong case to make the team. In addition, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, KJ Hamler, Andy Isabella, and several others will be looking to make an impression.’

‘When all was said and done, Howard picked the Bills to finish the 2024 campaign with a 10-7 record. However, he was rather uncertain as to if that would be enough to win the AFC East once again.’
