CB Maxwell Hairston injury: Buffalo Bills CB evaluated for concussion

CB Maxwell Hairston injury: Buffalo Bills CB evaluated for concussion

The injuries just keep piling up for the Buffalo Bills. Midway through the third quarter, it was rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston who couldn’t get up off the turf as teammates waved for training staff to come to his aid.

Hairston missed all of preseason and the first six games of the regular season as he recovered from a PCL injury he picked up in July. Eventually, the cornerback walked off the field accompanied by trainers and headed to the blue medical tent. After time in the medical tent, he was sent to the locker room to be evaluated for a...

Terrel Bernard injury: Bills LB taken to locker room with arm injury

Early in the third quarter with the Buffalo Bills trailing the Houston Texans 20-16, linebackers Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano combined to drop Nick Chubb a yard behind the line of scrimmage. However, the result for Buffalo was the loss of their defensive captain.

Bernard immediately began rolling on the ground in obvious pain as he held his right arm close to his body. After a few minutes on the field, trainers had the fourth-year linebacker, who has already been hampered by an ankle injury for weeks this season, on his feet. The Buffalo training staff escorted Bernard straight to...

Bills game discussion: Buffalo fans chat during Texans game second half

In what began as a low-scoring, tough and physical game between the Buffalo Bills and Houston Texans, very quickly evolved into an explosion of points during the final two minutes of the first half. After the Texans kicked a field goal to take a 13-9 lead, Buffalo responded in explosive fashion on the ensuing kickoff return.

Running back Ray Davis got the message, running straight into conflict and quickly up the field to leave everyone else on the field behind him en route to six points. Inside of two minutes, the Bills now held a 16-13 lead.

But not so...

Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans Week 12 news, game coverage

Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans Week 12 news, game coverage

The Buffalo Bills are in H-Town for Week 12, looking to take home a W at the Houston Texans’ expense. A win in NRG Stadium would be a first for head coach Sean McDermott and quarterback Josh Allen, among other long-tenured players and team personnel at One Bills Drive.

Buffalo’s top-ranked offense goes up against Houston’s top-ranked defense, and something has to give. Does Allen have to do it all alone again this week? Offensive coordinator Joe Brady would be wise to try leaning a bit on running back James Cook III early and often, allowing Allen to complement that...

Buffalo Bills live updates: Highlights from the Texans game in Week 12

The Buffalo Bills are squaring off against the Houston Texans in a primetime Thursday night clash and things should be interesting. Last week, the 7-3 Bills struggled at first against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, once the team shifted to allow Josh Allen to play slightly unhinged, the offense came alive. By the end of the game, their 44-32 victory seemed like an absolute thrashing.

If the Bills have any hope of stacking their wins, they have to play similar this week against the Texans. While on defense, they will be facing backup QB Davis Mills, on offense they will...

The Buffalo Bills are set to face off against the Houston Texans for the second consecutive season. It’s also the second consecutive season where the Bills have traveled to Houston for the contest. Last year, Buffalo played horribly in a 23-20 loss at the Texans.

Houston has not been a friendly venue for Buffalo, as the Bills haven’t left the city with a win since November of 2006. In that game, J.P. Losman threw touchdown passes to Lee Evans and Peerless Price, with the latter securing a game-winning grab with just 14 seconds remaining to give the Bills a 24-21...

Keon Coleman headlines Buffalo Bills’ Week 12 inactives at the Houston Texans

The Buffalo Bills and the Houston Texans are around 90 minutes away from kickoff this evening, which means that each team has released its respective list of inactive players. Buffalo had declared three players out, but one of those players—wideout Mecole Hardman Jr.—was placed on injured reserve earlier this evening. With two players elevated from the practice squad, that means that the Bills needed to list a total of six players out this evening.

Which six players aren’t going to dress for the game tonight? Here is the full list.

Buffalo Bills at Houston Texans Week 12 ‘TNF’ pregame coverage

The hurdle that it often is adequately covering the Buffalo Bills, Thursday Night Football claimed this week’s intended Five Questions with Battle Red Blog (BRB). Since we were able to get through my half of the exchange in discussing the Bills, I didn’t want to let this content pass Buffalo Rumblings readers by completely.

So here now is what Scott Barzilla of Battle Red Blog wanted to know about the Buffalo Bills ahead of Week 12 with the Houston Texans. This content was supposed to run on BRB, which instead I’m sharing here.

Following my responses, I’ve also shared the...

Buffalo Bills wideout Gabe Davis elevated from practice squad

The Buffalo Bills announced that they have elevated veteran wide receiver Gabe Davis from the practice squad ahead of their Thursday night matchup with the Houston Texans. Buffalo also elevated rookie tight end Keleki Latu from the practice squad. It’s the second elevation for both players.

Davis, 26, caught three passes for 40 yards last week in his 2025 debut against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He saw four targets from quarterback Josh Allen on 23 offensive snaps. While he played fewer snaps than every wideout other than Mecole Hardman Jr., it was clear that Allen trusted Davis in big spots....

Buffalo Bills place WR Mecole Hardman Jr. on Injured Reserve

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Mecole Hardman Jr. is headed to Injured Reserve (IR) after suffering a calf injury during Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That means Hardman will at least miss the next four games on Buffalo’s schedule.

It’s not an entirely surprising roster move given the news that the Bills brought back cornerback Brandon Codrington to the practice squad. His return likely meant Hardman’s injury was going to be more than just a simple day-to-day monitoring situation.

Hardman had not played football at all prior to joining Buffalo ahead of Week 11. Did the Bills put him...

Buffalo Bills playoff odds & Week 12 NFL power rankings

The Buffalo Bills played a chaotic brand of dominating football against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past Sunday. It was the sort of game that endears quarterback Josh Allen to his faithful fans, where an ugly turnover or two prove mostly meaningless in the big picture. Most of all, Buffalo fielded a competent passing attack the likes of which has gone missing too many times in 2025.

Their win wasn’t without criticism, and skeptics remain — especially among those who power rank the NFL each week. We’ll skip much of the bravado this round given the Bills play their Week...

Keon Coleman status: Bills WR will be benched again and not playing

We are hours away from Thursday Night Football between the Houston Texans and Buffalo Bills. The talk leading into the game should be about Josh Allen’s six-touchdown game and how the offense should be back on track. However, the talk is about Keon Coleman once again.

A report from Cover 1 says the second-year receiver will once again be a healthy scratch for the second week in a row. This comes after Coleman was apparently late to a team meeting this past Friday which was at least the third time in his young career. (Cover 1 was also first on...
