Buffalo Rumblings
Plus, exploring what’s fueled Josh Allen’s improved awareness, execution, and ball protection
The Buffalo Bills (7-2) have a comfortable four-game cushion over the New York Jets in the race to win the AFC East, but despite Buffalo’s hot start, there is one area where the team is not feeling comfortable: the health of its wide receivers.
Today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by discussing how Buffalo’s wide receiver room is a mash unit, and who might be forced to step up with so many wide receivers injured.
The Bills are thin at wide receiver heading into Sunday’s clash vs. the Indianapolis Colts and several of Josh Allen’s primary targets are working their way back from their injuries.
The injury list is long for Buffalo’s wide receivers, and includes rookie Keon Coleman (wrist/hand), and veterans Amari Cooper (wrist), Mack Hollins (shoulder), and Curtis Samuel (pectoral).
Here’s the latest: Coleman did not practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but he was seen on the Bills practice field for the stretching portion of practice and did do some work with Buffalo’s trainers on the sidelines. Cooper was limited in practice for the second consecutive day, as were Hollins and Samuel, who were seen sporting the red non-contact jerseys during the portion of practice open to the media.
Head coach Sean McDermott hasn’t ruled anyone out yet for Sunday’s Week 10 contest in Indianapolis.
Examining the important roles that safeties Taylor Rapp and Damar Hamlin are filling in Buffalo’s secondary; what has fueled Josh Allen’s improved awareness, execution and ball protection; why former Bills Jordan Phillips and Quinton Jefferson are excited to be back in Buffalo, and more!
