‘The Bills are eligible to add up to eight players to their practice squad starting Sunday at noon.’

‘RB Joe Burns was put on the reserve/injured list.’

‘George Wilson – A player who truly deserves to be on the roster, but keeping seven receivers was not an option. Fortunately he still has practice squad eligibility and should provide valuable insurance provided another team doesn’t grab him for their active roster first.’

‘”When I looked at the tape of last year, he was inaccurate on his throws to the left,” said Bills quarterbacks coach Turk Schonert. “His shoulders and hips were closed [not pointed left enough], and when he tried to throw to the left he couldn’t get around.” “We changed his get-away from center a little bit and changed his footwork a little bit,” Schonert said.’

‘The WNGS replays barely are getting any viewership. The Browns game had a .3 last Sunday.’

‘”I was confident coming into this week,” said Davis, a free agent who signed with Buffalo in March after spending last season with rival New England. “I needed to do something today and hopefully it was enough (to make the team). “You just have to realize that you’re playing for 31 other teams as well. Any time you’re out there on the field and performing, you want to make sure you’re putting your best foot forward. I feel I was able to do that.”‘

‘The Buffalo Bills offer this facility free of charge for youth and high school football groups to play their games.’

‘This is going to be a fun team to watch. They’re going to make some big plays on both offense and defense and special teams. I think they’ll be well coached and fundamentally sound.’

‘Antowain Smith and Sam Cowart were among players cut by the Houston Texans on Friday. Domanick Davis was not. Also among the Texans cuts was former New Orleans Saints linebacker Courtney Watson, whom the Texans claimed off waivers from the Buffalo Bills last week.’
