‘Strong is receiving more opportunities in practice because of the injury to first-round pick Maxwell Hairston. Dane Jackson is above Strong on the depth chart, but the rookie from Virginia Tech is likely going to play more in the preseason because the Bills want to see how he looks against NFL competition.’

Bills defensive end’s off-season hobby? Catching massive pythons with his bare hands
‘“I just told myself they’re not venomous, they can’t kill me with just biting me,” he said. “I was nervous going into it, but we got the first snake and there’s like six of us in our group and so once the dog would find it, we would surround it and kind of come up with a plan of attack.’
Bills waive oft-injured linebacker: Training camp injury updates from Day 10
‘This does not necessarily mean his time with the Bills is done. They could always re-sign him when he’s healthy again, perhaps to the practice squad, but waiving him Wednesday feels like the Bills have decided to move on.’
Bills training camp observations: Undrafted free agent WR is catching everything
‘The undrafted free agent wide receiver probably has no real chance to make the 53-man roster, but it certainly won’t be because he didn’t catch any passes in camp. Almost all of his reps have come against the second- and third-team defense, but there have been a few against the top unit, and one thing has been constant: He makes plays.’
Why Bills’ Spencer Brown gave his coach the middle finger on Day 11 of camp (Observations)
‘The plan was for the Buffalo Bills’ right tackle to ease his way back with 12-15 reps during practice. But Brown has missed the action. So when Bills offensive line coach Aaron Kromer tried removing him at one point, Brown made a gesture and remained in his position.’
Kincaid’s strong day, returns of Brown, Williams highlight second to last day at SJF
‘Kincaid is coming off a disappointing 2024 season, but he seems motivated to right the wrongs of a year ago.’
Bills’ A.J. Epenesa hoping to snatch quarterbacks the same way he did with snakes in contract year
‘“Hunting quarterbacks the same way,” Epenesa joked. “Just grab them and take them out.”’
Training camp observations: Dorian Williams returns as the Bills battle injuries at linebacker
‘After missing eight practices with a calf strain, Williams returned to practice for the first time Wednesday. Williams sustained his elbow and knee injuries last season but neither required surgery, while his calf injury came from just a small slip while running during the third practice of training camp.’
Running back James Cook’s contract standoff with Bills reaches 3rd practice
‘What’s more evident is how the team and player aren’t on the same page on various aspects of negotiations based on what people on each side of discussions told The Associated Press over the past two days. The people spoke to the AP on the condition of anonymity because the talks are private.’
Buffalo Bills release linebacker Baylon Spector following latest injury to 4th-year player
‘A seventh-round pick in the 2022 draft out of Clemson, Spector showed flashes of potential to fill the Bills primary backup linebacker spot behind starters Matt Milano and Terrel Bernard. Injuries, however, derailed his development. The 26-year-old Spector was limited to appearing in 26 games, including four starts, and spent four stints on the injured reserve list over three seasons.’
Josh Allen’s NFL success not a surprise to former teammate Eberhardt
‘Long before Allen led the Buffalo Bills to dominance in the AFC East, he spent three years (2015-17) at Wyoming, where he and Eberhardt were teammates for two years. The six-foot-one, 200-pound Eberhardt is in his third season as a receiver with the CFL’s B.C. Lions.’
Cook contract dispute brings drama to Bills camp
‘Another issue has to do with Cook’s workload with the Bills, which has been lighter than that of most feature backs around the league. Cook, who split time with rookie Ray Davis and veteran Ty Johnson last season, played just 48 per cent of Buffalo’s offensive snaps last season, often coming out for Johnson in third-down situations.’
Buffalo Bills release long-time linebacker ahead of preseason opener
‘The Bills’ linebacker depth is still very strong. Terrel Bernard and Matt Milano are one of the best duos in the NFL when both are healthy. Dorian Williams and hometown hero Joe Andreesen will hold down the No. 3 and No. 4 spots, respectively.’
Bills’ RB Ray Davis is a key backup for Buffalo at a different position
‘Davis was a kicker in high school.’
