‘Right tackle Spencer Brown (calf) and defensive end AJ Epenesa (pectoral) will be questionable vs. the Saints (1 p.m. ET, CBS). Oliver, Milano and Brown did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but Brown is set to be limited in Friday’s practice, per McDermott. Epenesa has been a limited participant throughout the week.’

‘The Buffalo Bills running back has already made an offensive impact in the team’s first three games, picking up where he left off last season. Cook is second in the league in rushing yards (284), tied for the most rushing touchdowns with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (four) and, in part thanks to another strong start by the Bills’ offensive line, leads the league in rushing yards before first contact (145).’

‘But the Miami Dolphins gave the Bills their best shot and kept the double-digit favorites close most of the way.’

‘The restaurant is about a six-minute drive from the team’s stadium and practice facility. Allen, drafted by the Bills at No. 7 in 2018, has been going for years, including a time when he used to be able to go with family and friends and sit in the open dining room — something that can’t happen anymore.’

‘The Bills officially ruled both players out on their injury report Wednesday after coach Sean McDermott said in his weekly radio appearance on WGR 550 that they would not play. Milano suffered a pectoral injury in Sunday’s win over the New York Jets and did not play in the entire second half. Linebacker Dorian Williams is set to start in his place.’

‘Allen suffered a bloody nose late in the first quarter of the Bills’ 30-10 win over the New York Jets on Sunday but missed only two plays before returning to the field with gauze stuffed in his nose. He went on to play until many of the team’s starters were pulled with the game out of hand.’

‘”Pulled it when I probably should have handed it off,” Allen said. “I tried to throw it, and I saw him push, decided to tuck it. I don’t know what hit me. It was a knee, it was a hand, it was somebody, helmet. It just kind of came down right on the bridge of my nose and just started leaking.”‘

‘Coach Sean McDermott ruled out Oliver on Friday and said that he was accidentally stepped on during Wednesday’s practice. Oliver was wearing a boot on his left foot in the locker room Thursday and using a medical scooter to get around further distances. He did not participate in the team’s walk-through Thursday.’

‘Several Bills players thought that Prater was a coach when he arrived at the special teams meeting, but then the veteran’s name put it all into place.’

‘The Bills became the first team in NFL history to overcome a 15-point deficit in the final four minutes of the fourth quarter to win a season opener, per Elias Sports Bureau. The team extended its 12-game home win streak and also won the turnover battle for the 23rd consecutive game, the longest streak in NFL history (including playoffs). Since 2000, teams have won only three of 2,315 games when trailing by 15-plus points in the final four minutes of the fourth quarter.’

‘Cook is part of a 2022 draft class that saw four of its eight members — himself, cornerback Christian Benford, wide receiver Khalil Shakir and linebacker Terrel Bernard — receive four-year extensions this offseason, as did 2021 first-round pick defensive end Greg Rousseau.’

‘Bass initially was dealing with pelvic soreness during training camp and missed the first two preseason games with the injury. He returned for the third preseason game and made 3 of 4 field goal attempts. The kicker, however, was limited on the team’s injury report (left hip/groin) and did not participate in practice Thursday or Friday. Coach Sean McDermott described Bass as dealing with a continuation of his soreness.’

‘He’ll corral another one in November as the University of Wyoming is set to retire Allen’s No. 17. The Buffalo Bills quarterback will be the first Cowboy to have their jersey retired.’

‘In an interview that appeared on HBO’s “Hard Knocks” on Tuesday night, Allen discussed his wife, actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld’s, performance in the movie, “Sinners.” The Buffalo Bills quarterback — a noted movie buff — gave the movie an A-plus grade.’

‘Davis, 26, visited the team Aug. 20 following a visit with the Pittsburgh Steelers, a team he visited twice. The wide receiver is continuing to recover from a torn meniscus in his left knee suffered in November.’
