‘Some of the notable names that will remain with the Bills going forward includes quarterback Matt Barkley, running back Raheem Blackshear, and wide receivers Isaiah Hodgins and Tavon Austin.’

‘The earliest White will be eligible to begin practicing would be Monday, Oct. 3 after missing games against the Los Angeles Rams, Tennessee Titans, Miami Dolphins, and Baltimore Ravens.’

‘Unless something goes wrong, Poyer believes he’ll play against the Rams, “I expect to be out there as long as there’s no setbacks. It feels really good now and I’m working hard to try to get it to 100% before the first game.”’

‘Of course both were very somber as they spoke and Beane said, “The last 48 hours has been very difficult for a lot of people and we sympathize with this whole situation, all the parties involved, this young woman, what she went through, you really feel bad for that whole situation and ultimately, this is a legal situation and we don’t know all the facts and that’s what makes it hard, but at this time, we just think it’s the best move for everyone to move on from Matt and let him take care of this situation and focus on that so we’re going to part ways.”‘

‘Poyer wore a red-non contact jersey during the roughly hour and ten minute session just outside the ADPRO Sports Training Center.’

‘Ultimately, the Bills were not able to produce anything offensively all game. Despite flashes late in the third quarter and early on in the fourth, the team would fall short every drive.’

‘”I can tell you this, my heart and my thoughts and prayers go out to the people involved. That includes Matt, that includes both sides here.”‘

‘When asked how the mood of the team was after the news broke Thursday night, “ It’s hard to gauge, It’s been a weird day and a half, ” said Keenum. “ Most everyone is trying to focus on the game, guys’ livelihoods that are competing out there, and I’ve been in a lot of 3rd and 4th preseason games.”’

‘Bills quarterbacks Matt Barkley and Case Keenum were under pressure all night long. They were sacked a total of three times and hurried four times. The starting offensive line made up of particularly struggled against the Panthers first-unit defense.’

‘“I’m getting a little older now, so I just try to take what I’ve learned in my four or five years and try to pass it down,” Johnson said. “[Elam and Benford are] young guys, so they’re eager to learn. That’s a testament to [Brandon] Beane and the players that he’s bringing in here, because they’re always ready to learn.”’

‘According to NFL Network reporter Tom Pelissero, the Bills have restructured offensive lineman Dion Dawkins’s contract, converting most of his salary into a signing bonus to clear over $5.6 million in cap space.’

‘Devin Singletary and James Cook are obviously entrenched on the roster. It appears Zack Moss has secured his spot after a strong preseason. Taiwan Jones is a running back by trade, but of core special teams player. Fullback Reggie Gilliam isn’t going anywhere after signing his contract extension. Blackshear should get plenty of opportunities tonight to see if he can force the team to find a spot for him in some capacity.’

‘According to the lawsuit filed on Thursday, the alleged incident took place in the early morning hours of Oct. 17, 2021.’

‘When the Bills decided to let Levi Wallace leave via free agency, it opened up a starting spot at CB2. At this point, based on usage in the first two preseason games and comments from defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, it appears Dane Jackson has won that competition.’

‘McDermott went on to say that part of his decision to play his starters last week also had to do with the fact that they would have had more time to come back for opening night against the Los Angeles Rams, in the event anyone went down with an injury. No starters left Saturday’s game against the Broncos with an injury.’
