‘The Bills have plenty of depth at outside cornerback with former first-round pick Kaiir Elam and surging former UDFA Ja’Marcus Ingram. Ultimately, it appeared to be just a simple numbers game, and Hardy may not have done enough to secure return duties.’

Bills name 16 players to practice squad, injury reports from Wednesday practice
‘There were several injury updates stemming from Wednesday’s practice, with the most significant of which regarding two of the team’s five rostered wide receivers. Curtis Samuel and Marquez Valdes-Scantling both participated during the media-viewing portion of Wednesday’s session, which included positional work and throws from the Buffalo quarterbacks. Samuel and Valdes-Scantling had missed several days of practice, with Samuel recovering from a turf toe injury sustained before the Bills’ second preseason matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Valdes-Scantling going down with a neck injury against the Steelers.’

Kelly: Mike White’s nestled into the arms of the enemy with Dolphins’ secrets | Opinion
‘I can picture the scene in Orchard Park right now. Bills head coach Sean McDermott and Bobby Babich, Buffalo’s defensive coordinator, probably have White in some dark room, sitting on a metal chair at the end of a folded table with a bright light shining down on him, requesting he tell his new team everything he knows about Mike McDaniel’s offense, and Tua Tagovailoa’s tendencies. After all, it was White who assisted Tagovailoa with a good percentage of his film breakdown.’

Though QB Josh Allen remains a fixture in Buffalo, roster overhaul leaves Bills with question marks
‘A patchwork and young secondary that lacks the leadership and experience Poyer and Hyde provided in the past. Milano’s injury leaves Buffalo counting on second-year player Dorian Williams to fill the spot in the defense’s two-LB system. A receiver group that lacks a bona fide threat, and being asked to replace the void left by Diggs, who topped 100 catches and 1,100 yards in each of his four seasons in Buffalo.’
