‘”I felt confident going into last season. I feel confident because of the guys that we have,” Brady said. “We have a great coaching staff. The players we get to work with, I believe in what we do here and how [Brandon] Beane evaluates in bringing guys in to fit what we’re looking for. But you’re always trying to find ways to get better. I’ve got to get better, our offense has to get better, but my approach and my mindset, I feel the exact same way going into this season.”‘

‘White injured his leg back on Aug. 23, and has not practiced since.’

‘As first reported by ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter, the Bills are set to sign Davis to the team’s practice squad, with the goal of ramping up his recovery from a torn meniscus last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.’

‘For a second-consecutive season, the Bills will lean on a pair of leaders, one on each side of the football, as quarterback Josh Allen and linebacker Terrel Bernard will be the designated captains once again in 2025.’

‘The Bills are, again, the favorite to win the AFC East, as they should be. I don’t think the division will be a cakewalk like it was in 2024, but anyone other than the Bills being on top when all is said and done would be very surprising.’

‘Buffalo Bills defensive tackle DeWayne Carter tore his Achilles tendon and will miss the entire 2025 season, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, who tweeted the report Sunday night, which was then seemingly backed up by Carter himself via a post and picture on social media.’

‘“When you have an MVP quarterback that’s comfortable in the pocket and knows exactly what his left tackle is going to do all the way to his right tackle, I just think it’s a comfortable feeling for a quarterback and when it comes down to it, football is all about protecting and effecting the opposing quarterback and if the quarterback comes to the line comfortable, it’s pretty cool.”’

‘”This is where my heart is. There is where home is. This is where I grew up in this game on and off the field, my daughters have grown up in this town, and I feel like this is a way for me to be able to give back to the community, to this team,” said Poyer on Wednesday after practice. “I feel like I can still give back to the game in many ways, whether that’d be on the field or off the field.’

‘Tre’Davious White, who left last Friday’s practice with a leg injury, wasn’t on the field in any capacity, while Christian Benford, who also left that practice early but said he was fine after, worked off to the side on an exercise bike.’

‘”We’re rehabbing him as much as we can, and Tre’s got a great attitude. He’s attacking it, and we’re going to take it day-by-day to see where it goes,” said Beane on Wednesday with reporters in Orchard Park.’

‘Among the notable moves made by the Bills on Tuesday includes rookie cornerback Max Hairston and offensive lineman Tylan Grable being placed on Injured Reserve/Designated to Return. This means they are both ineligible to play or practice with the team until after the fourth game of the season.’

‘The offense got to work right away and closed the book early on if it would be another shutout. Frank Gore Jr. punched in it for six and caped off a 12 play, 80 yard drive. Bills lead 7-0 with 5:32 remaining in the 1st quarter.’

‘It appears as though there were no significant injuries to any Bills players, a welcome outcome for a team dealing with several of them right now.’

‘With roster cut down day coming next week, McDermott spoke on what he saw tonight. “Just fun to watch these guys go play and lay it on the line, we’ve got tough decisions to make. I want for all these guys to play in the league. It’s been fun to coach them and a real joy.”’

‘Tyrell Shavers. Laviska Shenault. KJ Hamler. Even Elijah Moore and Curtis Samuel. All are still vying to be on the final 53-man roster, but all have different circumstances that impact them. Moore and Samuel are most likely ahead of the others, but how far, and how secure are they? Shavers has to show he can handle special teams duties, including covering punts as a gunner and covering kickoffs. Shenault and Hamler may need to do something special in the return game, if given the chance, to justify a spot over cornerback and punt returner Brandon Codrington. It will be really interesting to see who gets how many snaps and in what roles.’
