‘Lotulelei was placed on the COVID-19 list the day of the Bills’ Week 10 game against the New York Jets. He has missed the last three games after opting out last season due to COVID-19 concerns and was a key missing component to the Bills’ run defense. He has two sacks this season.’

‘The injury happened in the second quarter of the team’s 31-6 win over the Saints. White was able to walk off the field on his own with a limp, but eventually was ruled out of the game. Dane Jackson replaced him and will be expected to do so going forward. White, a Shreveport native and former LSU player, was visibly emotional coming off the field.’

‘When White is the nearest defender this season, the All-Pro corner is allowing a 50.8% completion percentage and 58.9 passer rating, both fourth-best among defensive backs with 50-plus targets this season, per NFL Next Gen Stats.’

‘Without Brown — who has started four games this season — the right side of the line will have to adjust yet again. Right guard Daryl Williams could move to the third-round pick’s spot at right tackle if needed. Cody Ford, a 2019 second-round pick, started at right guard in the 9-6 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and underperformed. Ryan Bates is another candidate at guard.’

‘The defensive tackle opted out last season because of concerns related to COVID-19. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky and wide receiver Jake Kumerow remain on the list, while quarterback Jake Fromm and wide receiver Tanner Gentry, who are on the practice squad, came off the list this week.’

‘The Bills’ offense has struggled in the past two games, averaging 16 points per game compared to 32.7 over the first six games. Knox has become one of quarterback Josh Allen’s go-to targets, catching five touchdowns over a four-game stretch. The Bills’ needed Knox to step up at tight end this year, and so far he has.’

‘The Bills were without two starting offensive linemen because of injuries — right tackle Spencer Brown and guard Jon Feliciano — and it showed. Allen finished the day completing 31 of 47 passes for 264 yards, and ran for 50 yards on five carries. Buffalo’s running backs, who have struggled this season, didn’t help matters. They were held to 22 yards on nine carries.’

‘Two of the team’s four quarterbacks are now unavailable. Practice squad quarterback Davis Webb was elevated to the active roster to back up Josh Allen for Sunday’s game at the Jacksonville Jaguars, with Buffalo’s decision to keep two quarterbacks on the practice squad paying off.’

‘”When I first got here, I got away from [social media], and then things happen,” Beasley said after the Bills’ 26-11 win over the Miami Dolphins. “And the issues that we have at hand, and I just felt like I needed to take responsibility for the guys that couldn’t.”‘

‘Smith wanted to show Garrett “what a real graveyard looks like,” according to WAVY.’

‘There is not significant concern over the injury, and Knox will be aided by the Bills being on their bye week before a Week 8 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. All three of Buffalo’s next opponents have only one win apiece (Dolphins, Jaguars and Jets).’

‘”If we went down, we’d go down fighting,” former Bills coach Marv Levy said. “I just was immersed in the game itself. What should we do next? And the game isn’t over. [New York Yankees catcher] Yogi Berra once said, ‘It’s not over ’til it’s over.’ And so, we kept plugging away.”‘

‘Firebaugh has a population of about 8,300 and is located west of Fresno, California. The school has around 650 students. It has not been announced yet what the proceeds will go toward specifically.’

‘All proceeds from the sale went toward supporting the high school, per Allen’s request. Thus far, hoodie sales have generated over $80,000 in donations for Firebaugh High School, ESPN confirmed. The hoodie is being sold for $40. Sweatshirts remain available for presale purchase until 5 p.m. ET Monday, per the high school.’

‘Johnson was set to become a free agent when his rookie contract ended after this year.’
