‘That’s a much different stretch than earlier in the season, facing three teams who made the playoffs, and four with a combined record of 43-25 last season.’

‘In total, the Bills will play five prime-time games this season, with four of those games being played before their Week 7 bye. Buffalo will play under the bright lights of prime-time in Weeks 1, 3, 5, 6 and 12.’

‘Before the Bills move into their new home across the street come July 2026, the team will close Highmark Stadium with a commemorative Farewell Season logo that the will be worn as a jersey patch during a select home game to be announced later.’

‘“I was like a little kid before Christmas last night, very anxious and it’s OK to be anxious, but to still go out there and be confident. To know what to do and execute, it’s all just a learning process, but it was exciting, I finally got there, get some action, go against offense.’

‘Players will be back on the field on Saturday for another practice, which will not be available to the media.’

‘Rogers was an undrafted free agent signing of the Giants last season out of the University of Oregon. Despite spending most of the 2024 season on the practice squad, Rogers did make an appearance in two games, where he blocked a field goal against the New Orleans Saints.’

‘That leaves only three of Buffalo’s draft picks in the 2025 NFL Draft without a contract: First-round cornerback Max Hairston, second-round defensive tackle T.J. Sanders and fourth-round defensive tackle Deone Walker. However, all three players are present for rookie minicamp this weekend.’

‘The Bills currently have 89 players on their active roster. Because offensive lineman Travis Clayton counts as an international player, the team is allowed to carry 91 players throughout the offseason. That leaves a couple of spots open if they decide to sign anyone who impresses over the two-day camp.’

‘The 6’3″, 204 pounder then transferred to the University of Maryland and in two seasons with the Terrapins, he recorded 98 catches for 1,290 yards and nine TD’s. Prather was honorable mention All Big Ten in 2023 when he finished third in the conference in average yards per catch(15.9). Last season he led all Big Ten receivers in total snaps outside with 484. In addition, Pro Football Focus gave him the fourth best hands grade among all Big Ten pass catchers.’

‘Strong was one of three corners drafted by the Bills joining first round pick Maxwell Hairston and Jordan Hancock who was chosen in the fifth round. A native of Upper Marlboro, Maryland, Strong didn’t have to wait long to get on the field for the Hokies, starting five games as a true freshman in 2020.’

‘He played in 29 games during the Yale portion of his college football career, caught 35 passes for 371 yards and six touchdowns and was second team All Ivy in two of his three seasons. In his one season at Georgia Tech, the 6’4″, 253 pounder caught just 16 balls for 195 yards. He was more of a blocking tight end and anchored the edge in the Yellow Jackets offense which leaned on a downhill, power running game.’

‘Moore, 25, spent the past two seasons with the Cleveland Browns totaling 120 catches, including 61 last season. Moore was originally a second round pick of the New York Jets in 2021, but was traded to Cleveland following the completion of his second season.’

‘The 6’0″, 195 pound Hancock emerged as a key defender in his nickel cornerback role in 2023. He could have declared for the draft after that season but opted to return for his senior year. It turned out to be a good decision as the Buckeyes would go on to win the national championship and Hancock would earn Honorable Mention All Big Ten status.’

‘Well respected by his teammates, which included Bills first round pick Maxwell Hairston, Walker was twice named a team captain. He told reporters he models his game after longtime NFL defensive lineman Calais Campbell since they are similar in height.’

‘At 6’4″ and 300 pounds, Sanders is not the prototypical run stuffing defensive tackle that many Bills fans were hoping for. But he does have the sought after long arms, measuring at 33 5/8 inches.’
