‘”We continue to wish John and the Murphy family the best in his recovery,” the Bills said in a team statement.’

‘In updated betting odds for where Hopkins will play his next snap, Buffalo is still listed as one of the favorites, only trailing the New England Patriots, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.’

‘The second-year safety was administered CPR on the field, while also requiring the use of an AED before being transported to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where he spent just one week recovering in the ICU.’

‘As it turns out, the Sabres and Bills are slated to play on the same day three times this season, starting on Sunday, Nov. 19.’

‘As for Beane, he was tasked right off the bat to re-tool the team and their salary cap situation, while also finding a franchise quarterback of the future. Some of Beane’s finest moments as general manager was the drafting of All-Pro quarterback Josh Allen in 2018m, along with trading for wide receiver Stefon Diggs in 2020, and signing pass rusher Von Miller in 2022.’

‘During his time in Buffalo, the Bills defense finished first in points per-game allowed in 2021 (17.0) and fourth in 2022 (19.1).’

‘In addition, Aug. 4 marks the annual “Return of the Blue and Red” practice held at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park at 5:30 p.m. ET.’

‘To make room on the 90-man roster for Guggemos, the team has placed tight end Zach Davidson on Injured Reserve with a knee injury.’

‘After leaving the team facility Tuesday just before practice at mandatory minicamp in Orchard Park, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Stefon Diggs was on the field for Wednesday’s practice with the rest of his teammates.’

‘While Diggs was in attendance, he did not take any reps with the offenses against the defense during the team portion of the session. He did take plenty of individual reps, running routes and catching passes from Allen.’

‘“And so those conversations have gotten us to what I think is a great spot, and sometimes you’ve got to have conversations, you need to communicate and I appreciate Stef being willing to communicate and you guys need to understand, Stef’s a valuable member of this football team, he’s one of our captains and a leader on this football team, he work extremely hard as hard as any player I’ve been around to be elite and that’s what he is and I love him.”’

‘”When I work out in the offseason, I’m thinking about the season,” said Rousseau on Wednesday during an appearance on the “Jeremey White Show” on WGR. “If I’m not doing that, I’m really just wasting time.”‘

‘Leading up to the opening of Tuesday’s mandatory minicamp, many within the organization had expected the 29-year-old to be in attendance.’

‘”We continue to work on our fundamentals, the foundation we’re building, getting the guys back out there and executing,” said McDermott on Tuesday during his press conference with the media. “I think we’ve had a good offseason to this point. This time of year, you’re putting in new things and you’re trying to look at them and decide if this is something we want to take into training camp.”‘

‘”Internally we’re working on some thing, not football-related,” Allen told reporters Tuesday just after the team wrapped up their first of a three-day mandatory minicamp. “‘Stef’, he’s my guy, I f****n’ love him. He’s a brother of mine. This does not work, what we’re doing here, without him.”‘
