'Bills coach Rex Ryan says Williams' back locked up on him Thursday night, placing his availability for the game in doubt.'

'"This experience right here could be the start of something new," Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander said. "That's what we're trying to do and trying to establish. Take seize of it right now, this opportunity that we have. If we can do that, things start to turn around."'

'"No, no, no," Whaley told WGR 550 when asked if any decision had been made about retaining Taylor for 2017. "We've said from Day 1 that we're going to give him this whole season, and after that, we'll sit down with the coaches, the ownership group and make the decision."'

'Along with Williams, Watkins, and Woods, linebacker Brandon Spikes (illness), tight end Charles Clay (knee), and offensive tackle Cordy Glenn (back) are also questionable. Spikes and Williams were the only players on the list who missed practice Friday. The rest were limited.'

'“We're going to give him this whole season and after that we'll sit down with the coaches, the ownership group and make that decision.”'

'Williams is listed as ‘questionable,’ and there is still at least some time for the injury to improve. However, it’s really just a wait-and-see for all parties involved. If he is unable to play, that’s a huge blow against a Steelers team that boasts one of the best running backs in football: Le’Veon Bell.'

'Brown is one of the most consistent receivers in the league. Tops in receiving touchdowns (11), tied for the league lead in receptions (88) and fourth in receiving yards, Brown usually gets his. Gilmore will have to do something to ensure that he doesn’t.'

'The Bills are going against the ninth-ranked pass defense on Sunday, and will need all hands on deck. Pittsburgh has allowed only four pass touchdowns in the last three games and have held two of the last three quarterbacks they’ve faced to under 200 yards.'
