‘When the Bills decided to let Levi Wallace leave via free agency, it opened up a starting spot at CB2. At this point, based on usage in the first two preseason games and comments from defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, it appears Dane Jackson has won that competition.’

‘McDermott went on to say that part of his decision to play his starters last week also had to do with the fact that they would have had more time to come back for opening night against the Los Angeles Rams, in the event anyone went down with an injury. No starters left Saturday’s game against the Broncos with an injury.’

‘Allen and the rest of the starting offense were on the field for the majority of practice, facing the first-team defense. While it wasn’t a completely live, tackling-to-the-ground setting, it was still a full-speed practice with full blocking and contact.’

‘That move can happen at any time between Tuesday, Aug. 23 and Tuesday, Aug. 30. If that were to happen, White would not count on the 53-man roster. However, that would mean he’s ineligible to play, or even practice until after the team’s Week 4 game against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 2.’

‘Ford now has the opportunity to be reunited with former college teammates Kyler Murray and Marquise “Hollywood” Brown in the desert. Ford was able to help protect Murray on the Sooners’ offensive line and help him win the 2019 Heisman Trophy.’

‘As for Austin, the 31-year-old was the former eighth overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, who signed with the Bills in June. During Saturday’s contest against Denver, Austin had two receptions for 18 yards.’

‘While that’s the date so many fans are wondering if White will be ready by, there’s actually a much more important date for the Bills to have to make a decision by – Tuesday, August 30, at 4 PM ET. That’s when all NFL teams must get down to the maximum 53-man final roster limit.’

‘The Bills got off to a very strong start with their starters, but most importantly, got out of the game healthy.’

‘”I do know that Brandon Beane has a tough job ahead of him, and I’m sure he wants to see guys that haven’t been out there enough or guys that want to be out there more,” said Allen following the 42-15 win on Saturday.’

‘As the game went on it got better, but the Bills’ tackling wasn’t good overall, especially by the first team defense early in the game. Too many missed tackles, including those in the open field that led to gains that should have been stops.’

‘Can the 2022 rookie draft class back up their strong performances from last week’s game against the Indianapolis Colts?’

‘“I’m not going to get into how much they’ll play. I would just say the starters will play a healthy amount this week,” said McDermott on Thursday.’

‘Defensive tackle Tim Settle, Jr. (calf), offensive tackle Tommy Doyle (foot), and defensive end Kingsley Jonathan (ankle) all missed once again, while Knox was also, understandably, not at practice.’

‘After three seasons at Ole Miss, the linebacker/tight end transferred to Florida International University for this season. Bills coach Sean McDermott was very somber to open his Thursday press conference.’

‘Leslie Frazier said he knows what Taron Johnson and Dane Jackson can do, so he wanted to see the rookies, “We wanted to take a good look at the young corners. We have a pretty good feel for Dane and he’ll get some work before the preseason is done, but we wanted to get as many views of our young corners as we could and it’ll be the same way in these final two preseason games. We need to get a real good evaluation of the two of them.”’
