‘ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reports that Allen’s injury is to the ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right elbow. It is not considered major at this time, but his MRI will be sent to noted orthopedist specialist Dr. James Andrews for a second opinion, which has become standard operating procedure. One of the Bills’ orthopedic specialists, Dr. Leslie Bisson, completed his fellowship under Dr. Andrews.’

‘Allen shook his right hand as he ran to the huddle following his completion to Benjamin. After throwing an incompletion on the next play, Allen took a knee and was met on the field by trainers. He remained on the sideline for the remainder of the contest.’

‘The Eagles believe that they have the running back depth they need, and they wouldn’t make a trade unless it was similar to their deal last year that sent a fourth-round pick to the Miami Dolphins for Jay Ajayi, according to sources.’

‘Then, asked if McCoy was available in a trade, McDermott responded, “Men, this is why I came out and started where I started [in the news conference]. If you just want to hear the same reply, I’ll give you the same reply. I respect where you’re coming from and the jobs you have to do. Respect where I’m coming from. He’s a valuable member of our football team, and I’m gonna leave it at that.”‘

‘No deal has been finalized, and the Bills will have to make at least one roster move Monday to accommodate Anderson. The Bills also may have to assess their roster needs if more injuries surface from Sunday’s game against the Titans.’

‘Cordon had not previously accused McCoy of physical abuse against her, but she said during a news conference last week that other women had contacted her with claims that McCoy physically abused them. When asked at that news conference whether Cordon also experienced abuse by McCoy, Cordon’s attorney declined to answer.’

‘”Today was the first day I really ran hard,” he said. “Cutting was kind of a minor little setback. Other than that, I felt good. I felt fast. I felt rested. I’m excited.”‘

‘Buffalo signed Newhouse to a one-year contract in March that included a $1 million base salary and a $500,000 signing bonus. His trade could elevate Conor McDermott into the top backup offensive-tackle role for the Bills behind starters Dion Dawkins and Jordan Mills.’

‘The Bills, who were winless entering Sunday’s game in Minnesota, closed as consensus 17-point underdogs to the previously unbeaten Vikings. They are the 15th underdog of 17 or more points to win a game in the Super Bowl era and the largest underdog to pull off an upset since the Washington Redskins knocked off the Dallas Cowboys 24-17 as 17.5-point underdogs on Dec. 3, 1995.’

‘”In addition to Stephanie Maisonet, the mother of LeSean’s son, other women have contacted me about how LeSean has physically abused them, taken back gifts he has given them and exhibited other aggressive behavior toward them and towards his child,” Cordon said. “I am grateful for everyone who has contacted me about their experiences, and I hope that by seeing myself and Ms. Maisonet come forward, they too will gain the strength to come forward as well.”‘

‘”While Mr. McCoy maintains that he has been very forthcoming with his teammates and with his coaches, he has not provided any information whatsoever to the City of Milton Police, or assisted in the criminal investigation in any way, which will be discussed at [Friday’s] press conference as well,” her attorneys said.’

‘”I have tons of conversations with the team, the ownership, the owners, my coaches, my head coach, my teammates,” he said. “On Sundays I wear a ‘C’ on my jersey [as a captain] for a reason. Guys trust me. They believe in me. I’m honest to them.”‘

‘”I got a lot of respect for Vontae,” McDermott said. “He’s a good person. I certainly appreciate the way he worked when he was in here, but we’re moving forward as a football team. … You develop some personal relationships with these young men. You always want the best for them. It’s not a deal where we wish him anything but the best. We wish him the best. He’s had a heckuva career.’

‘”I felt comfortable for the most part,” Allen said after the game. “There’s some things that [Los Angeles] did that we didn’t see on film, and I didn’t see on film. But that’s being a rookie. That’s the part of it. A defensive coordinator is always going to try to throw you something different and get you out of your element, and I have to do better with the pass protection. I have to be better with getting the ball out quicker.’

‘Davis, a 10th-year veteran, said he meant no disrespect to his teammates and coaches, but that physically, he could no longer play at the standard he set for himself.’
