Will Cole practice today? No he won’t. Then we move right on to a safe feelings question. How about - Hey Coach it’s been a four days now, what is Cole’s injury? On Tuesday you said you didn’t have the details, do you have details yet? Is it Season-Ending? Dude is our #2 WR and it’s non-chalant here. Unless you are betting on the game, what difference does it make how much the beat reporters probe in regards to the injury? Edited January 1, 2021 by Back the Blue

I think he has a point. A lot of people would like to know.

Clearly, the Bills received information on his recovery today that wasn't available yesterday... I think everyone knew he was out for this Sunday's game, considering he's injured and it's a meaningless game. Not sure what declaring it yesterday would have changed. 2

It might change fan’s expectations of the post season if they know whether Beasley is done for the year or not...he was a major part of the offense... 1

Not sure what declaring it yesterday would have changed. Pretty much this...nobody thought he was playing this week...need to see what happens next week... That would be a huge loss if he can't go or is ineffective.

Right - as you said, everybody knew that he was out against Miami, so it just seemed silly to have not declared him out yesterday, as they did with Gilliam

I realize he is a big part of the offense, but Beane and McD should be more forthcoming because fan expectations might change? Sorry, I have no problem if they are being hush hush about it.

No need to tell Miami anything before you have to, and even then being vague is the best course of action. Sean is doing it the right way. Go Bills!!! 1 2

Once Thursday rolled-around and he still couldn't practice, McD probably pulled the plug. So it might have been "new" information of sorts. Edited January 1, 2021 by Doc 1

A week to week leg injury is the best we’re going to get. 1
Charles Romes Posted January 1, 2021 Posted January 1, 2021 It’s a great feeling not knowing anything. Much better that nonstop leakage of the Rex Whaley era. 1

That seems more like a day to day scenario, hopefully we'll hear that next week. Maybe the OP should add a injury diagnosis poll so we can take our shot at guessing. 1
