‘”They are really important because we do run the football, we do throw it and that’s the sort of in-between play. It’s a pass, but it’s the way of getting the ball in the hands of somebody you think can go make a play for you,” Gailey said. “So we try to devise as many different ways as we can to get the ball in the hands of playmakers. Screens are one good way to do it, and we’ve been fortunate to be very successful with them thus far. Hopefully it keeps up.”‘

‘Kelsay said the injury has started to feel much better with rest and has been assured by the team’s training staff, including Dr. Andrew Cappuccino, he’s not putting himself at additional risk of injury by playing.’

‘In revealing the nature of the injury for the first time, Kelsay says he’s been assured by team doctors that he doesn’t risk further damage. The 10-year veteran plans to test his neck while taking part in individual drills on Monday. If all goes well, he expects to practice Wednesday and be ready for Sunday, when the Bills (4-6) play at Indianapolis (6-4).’

‘Caussin accepted the team’s decision, saying his knee was not yet strong enough to handle the extra workload of practice over the past three weeks.’

‘Kyle Williams got his body recharged and is ready to get back to work, “It’s good for us. I think the later you get in the year, those Thursday night games are tougher to get ready for physically. It’s more mental preparation. Having the weekend off and getting back to work today, give us a chance to get our legs back under us. It’ll be good.”‘

‘Kelsay is happy because there’s been good improvement, “I’m feeling a lot better. The week in and this past week, I’ve seen significant progress, so I look forward to get back out there.”‘

‘The Bills are one of five teams with a 4-6 record along with the Jets, Miami, Tennessee and San Diego.’

‘According to the league’s bylaws, these are some of the factors that must be considered when a team is looking to move…’.

‘Orchard Park’s Police Chief Andy Benz says he likely drowned or died of hypothermia.’

‘”It’s just a great opportunity for me to share my blessings with the Buffalo community. We started out three years ago with around 100 families and now we’ve grown to over 150 families. So the more I’m continuing to being blessed the more I’m willing to share my blessings with others,” Wilson said.’

‘”I’m feeling a lot better. The weekend and this past week I’ve made significant progress and I’m looking forward to getting back out there,” Kelsay said Monday prior to practice. “I’m going to go out there today and do some individual and start moving around. Then by Wednesday depending on how it feels today, which I’m expecting it to feel great, I’ll be practicing.”‘

‘(Chris) Kelsay went through individual, but did not do any team. Looked like it went well and we will find out what he can do Wednesday. It looked promising. Fred (Jackson) has not completed everything. Supposedly he will complete everything tomorrow, but everything is on track for him to be ready to go Wednesday.’

‘The main thing is if we want to get to the playoffs every team that we play from here on out is going to be on course to be in the way. We just have to take it one game at a time. We know that each week is tough and it is no exception this week. In order to give yourself a chance to win, you have to have a great week of preparation. I have all the confidence in the world that our guys will have a great week this week leading up to the game.’

‘Torn ligament in my neck, just kind of a freak deal that happened at practice. There is no real rhyme or reason, just turned funny and strained it. It is what it is and I have rested it. Feel a lot better than what I had been feeling. Like I said, look forward to getting back out there and helping my teammates get on this run.’

‘I think the one thing we talked about is the big thing is they hang their hat on is their run game and their play action game. So we have to play good run defense and put them in positions where we know what they are going to do. Try to get them one-dimensional and make them throw the ball.’
