That would be so messed up in the game against his brother.

Lot of speculation that Cook is inactive, can't see that happening.  Just wondering if they are using Duke as "insurance", in case something unlikely happens pregame (ie: injury).  Or perhaps someone came down sick today, that we don't know about.

 

For Rhodes, Elam is very very likely out.  I'm wondering if both Rhodes and Tre dress.  Both these guys haven't played in a full NFL game in quite a while.  They have 1 extra game day roster spot, by dressing just 8 DL.

Cook? Can’t see it. Could see someone like Jones inactive. Yes he’s a special teamer, but he did have that awful fumble against Pittsburgh.

Will be interesting tomorrow. The duke thing doesn’t make sense. Either they needed a ST guy or we have an unexpected inactive RB. Can’t see the Bills having 5 active backs.

Doesn’t anyone recall the Bills will elevate a player from PS randomly to show them “appreciation” but likely not make the player active

[2020 Our Year For Sure]

I think players leaked smoke to Erik Turner and others to convince people Joshua Patrick wasn't playing. Awesome.

No, it’s clear the coaches have been reading TSW and decided to play Duke to see if it’s really the RBs or OL that sucks. Judging by TSW, it’s both.

My money is McKenzie is inactive and Hines is in the slot with Duke

Line jumped to - 6.5 Bills

[Dablitzkrieg]

Allen's parents are at Bar Bill so hopefully that means he's playing

[NewEra]

I’ll be disappointed in McD if Cook is inactive.  That would be effed

[Bangarang]

Duke Johnson? But why?

[Rc2catch]

Sounds like maybe there’s gonna be more emphasis on the run and short pass game if Duke ends up active. Would make sense with Keenum or if they don’t want Allen throwing 30 yard lasers and he’s forced to take it easy 

[Buffalo_Stampede]

It would be nice to have Xavier Rhodes and Tre White on the field. Our secondary is very young without Poyer. We forget that sometimes.

Jim Miller on Movin' the Chains of SiriusXM NFL Radio just said he is changing his pick from the Vikings to the Bills now that they think Josh is playing.

Duke elevation:
 

1. one of the RB’s or Kumerow is sick

2. “Appreciation” elevated but inactive

3. Hines large O role, Duke Punt Return

 

[Chandler#81]

I agree. No more tummy aches, Matt!😡

Factor in the 17 game season and soon to be 18 game season plus the additional wild card seed and there is less urgency to get players back out there immediately. 

 

 

The NFL believes in player safety.

My take is less #6
