The Buffalo Bills just wrapped up training camp for 2025, now set to fly south for a preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The bulk of Buffalo’s starters won’t see action on Saturday night and, in fact, quarterback Josh Allen and a select few others won’t have seen a preseason snap before the regular season begins.
It’s a bit of a change in philosophy by head coach Sean McDermott, who noted that the reigning NFL MVP has proven exempt of playing exhibition football. Will this plan impact the Bills and [what does FanDuel Sportsbook have to say about the...
The Buffalo Bills final training camp session of 2025 proved to be a tense and concerning affair, per reports from various members of the media on August 21. Tension is building with key roster decisions just days away. Also building, appears to be Buffalo’s already lengthy list of injuries. Bills reporter Sal Capaccio shared a massive update out of the final session, noting:
“Bills CB Tre’Davious White hopped off the field on one leg today and was immediately looked at by trainers. He stood by the outside wall with them for several minutes before walking slowly (on his own,...
NFL teams have less than a week to trim their rosters down to 53 players, and Saturday night’s road game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers represents the last meaningful chance for members of the Buffalo Bills to make an impression and state their case to earn a roster spot.
With competition to make the active roster expected to once again be intense, today’s edition of Buffalo Rumblinks leads off by examining the latest batch of 53-man roster projections to see who is in and who is on the outside looking in following the team’s first two preseason games.
Who’s in...
The Buffalo Bills have dealt with myriad injuries at the wide receiver position this summer. Truthfully, they’ve dealt with injuries everywhere, but at wideout, there seems to be a bigger issue involving players who have a good chance at making the roster this season.
As for how many receivers will make the roster, there really isn’t any way to tell that as of yet. The Bills won’t keep fewer than five, but they are unlikely to keep seven, too. With twelve receivers in camp, the competition for those final two or three spots on the roster will be intense.
Some...
There are still two weeks before the 2025 NFL Season opens, and the Buffalo Bills have already listed 28 different injuries. Sure, some of them are probably nothing to worry about, but there are some that are concerning. And the trend — the Bills getting banged up and missing key players — continues.
While a new strength & conditioning coach is in place, which had some of us thinking maybe new programs would be in place to get guys stronger and more resilient, that appears not to be the case. Here’s a look at what injuries Buffalo’s training staff has...
I wrote an article after the Buffalo Bills played the New York Giants in the first week of the preseason. In it, I said the following:
“The biggest takeaways from preseason games usually revolves around how a specific player plays. It’s a qualitative conversation. The focus is on the quality of the passes they threw, the quality of the routes they ran, the quality of the reads they made, or the quality of the reps they took. And that’s awesome. It’s great to have actual (kind of) football to analyze again.
But the most predictive observations from...
The Buffalo Bills have made three new additions to their roster ahead of Wednesday’s practice session, on-boarding running back Elijah Young, cornerback Zy Alexander and offensive lineman Rush Reimer.
In corresponding moves, Buffalo released kicker Caden Davis and waived/injured running back Jarveon Howard, the latter of whom was hurt in his first practice with the team. Davis’ release certainly suggests that starting kicker Tyler Bass is nearing a return to the field after being sidelined for nearly a month with a pelvic injury.
The new additions are all undrafted free agent rookies and will help the team round out their...
The Buffalo Bills and general manager Brandon Beane caught some heat over the offseason for not doing enough to upgrade their offense. Many fans and media members felt that the team should have done more to give NFL MVP Josh Allen more weapons to throw to in the wake of a season where Allen and offensive coordinator Joe Brady made sure that “everybody ate.”
Beane even caught some strays during Buffalo’s second preseason game, as sideline reporters Pam Oliver asked Allen about his feelings on that exact question. Of course, Allen didn’t take the bait, instead saying that he trusts...
The Buffalo Bills are coming off an embarrassing showing in a 38-0 rout at the hands of the Chicago Bears last Sunday night. Some of the Bills’ rookies were given extra playing time and reps within the blowout as the team scratched and clawed for positives to take from the performance.
Let’s talk about who showed out on Sunday night amongst the 2025 rookie class and who still has plenty more to prove heading into the team’s regular-season opener against the Baltimore Ravens.
The Bills’ first-round selection is still nursing an LCL injury he picked...
The NFL preseason game between the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears was a brutal watch for the record Fox audience of 5.1 million viewers. Luckily, preseason games aren’t known for game planning. That means the collective effort is less important than individual efforts.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at rookie defensive back Jordan Hancock to see how he played. The Bills have been known to find/coach-up gold in the secondary, and perhaps the fifth rounder has some bright spots for us to review.
One of the first things to note is that Hancock...
While the Buffalo Bills as a team endured a miserable performance during their 38-0 loss to the Chicago Bears in Week 2 of the NFL’s preseason, one area in particular was frustrating for Bills coaches and fans alike: how Buffalo’s safeties fared during their time on the field.
Cole Bishop, last year’s second-round pick and the presumptive starter alongside returner Taylor Rapp, struggled mightily in his first action as he works his way back from a quad injury, while veteran Damar Hamlin also played poorly in starting alongside Bishop.
Who will start next to Rapp is still one of the...
Most predicted the Buffalo Bills would struggle to replace the production from the safety tandem of Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. The two were as set-it-and-forget-it as things get in the NFL, but all things end, in time. The brought in safety Taylor Rapp, and have been high on him at the free safety spot since day one.
Rapp may struggle to stay on the field thanks to injury, but his status as a starter isn’t up for grabs. It’s all those in the room with Rapp who remain in unknown territory, with head coach Sean McDermott revealing to media...
