‘To start, wide receiver Keon Coleman has no game designation and will make his return to the field on Sunday. His fellow pass-catcher, Dalton Kincaid, is questionable. Unfortunately, the Bills will be without one of their top defenders in the secondary. Cornerback Rasul Douglas is officially out against Detroit. This comes after he took a friendly-fire hit from Taylor Rapp as both were trying to break up a pass that was caught in the end zone by Cooper Kupp. Rapp himself will be questionable.’

Opinion: Expect plenty of points in 'Motor City' on Sunday
‘The NFC North-leading Detroit Lions are 12-1. The last and only loss this season came way back in Week 2 when Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers left the “Motor City” with a 20-16 victory. The 16 points were/are a season-low, and that is the only game this season where the Lions were held under 20 points.’
Bills CB Rasul Douglas out vs. Lions
‘Tight end Dalton Kincaid is questionable to return after missing the past three games with a knee injury. Safeties Taylor Rapp (neck/knee) and Damar Hamlin (back/ribs), defensive ends Casey Toohill (ribs) and Dawuane Smoot (wrist), tight end Quintin Morris (shoulder/groin) and offensive tackle Tylan Grable (groin) are also listed as questionable.’
Rasul Douglas ruled out, backup yet to be announced
‘“I have a pretty good idea, just don’t want to go there yet,” McDermott said. “I don’t think we’ll rotate. I mean, that’s not the initial plan. Ideally, we’ll have a good, good handle on it when we finish practice today.”’

PlayAction column: Receiving reinforcements key for Bills against blitz-happy Lions
‘The pass yards allowed are deceptive. Detroit has held the lead so much, opponents have had to throw in catch-up mode. If you look at efficiency vs. the pass (expected points added), Detroit is No. 1 vs. the pass.’
Heavy snow forces Bills to cancel practice in preparation for Lions
‘The Bills announced the players and coaches would conduct virtual meetings to install Thursday’s portion of the game plan for the Lions. There was no media availability of players on Thursday.’
Joining Buffalo Bills ownership group 'dream come true' for Sue McCollum
‘“To be a part of the Buffalo Bills is really a dream come true,” McCollum said. “It was joy (on Wednesday) and, ‘I can’t believe it.’ It was joyful because the Bills have been a part of my life growing up, and to do this at this point of my life, it feels full-circle. Even though I don’t live in Buffalo anymore, the connections remain deep.”’
Former Bills player Eric Moulds sued by woman who says he knowingly gave her an STD
‘The lawsuit said Moulds first contacted the woman in 2018 in an Instagram direct message, and the two occasionally exchanged messages until January 2023, when they entered into a long-term romantic relationship. Moulds paid for the woman to make trips to visit him in Charlotte, N.C., where he lives. The pair had their last sexual contact in November 2023, the lawsuit claims.’
Bills defense lives by its front four, which needs to show more consistency
‘The Bills have expended a lot of capital — financially and in the draft — on their defensive line, and in return, the scheme asks them to produce an awful lot. The defensive line has moments of being impenetrable and others when they are undesirable.’
