‘While linebacker Christian Kirksey might be the newest face in Buffalo, he goes way back with his friend Bills safety Micah Hyde. “(One of) my best friends. Our families are entwined,” Hyde said. “Just seeing him walk in this building — I walked in this morning, and he was in the training room — it’s just pure excitement.”‘

‘”We sit in the team room and they show pictures on the screen and everybody screams whenever they show them,” Davis explained. “I was the last pictures, and everybody was like ‘Woah!” and I started clapping, too, and waved to everybody. It was just kind of funny to know that I’m going to have a C on my chest, because everybody knows that I’m a goofball and I play around a lot, but I’m glad those guys look at me as a guy who can lead the team.”‘

‘”I was looking at my phone all day yesterday and the day before, just looking at it and praying,” said defensive end Kinglsey Jonathan, who went undrafted out of Syracuse in 2022.’

‘Buffalo cut linebacker A.J. Klein, who was competing for the starting middle linebacker job, along veteran long snapper Reid Ferguson. Klein and Ferguson are candidates to be re-signed by the team. Wide receiver Andy Isabella and safety Dean Marlowe were also among those released.’

‘Miller, 34, has not played since tearing an ACL last Thanksgiving during a game in Detroit. He’s unable to practice with the team but has been seen working out individually in a helmet and pads during the team’s recent practices.’

‘”I was from the New York City area, so I was first a Giants fan,” said Ted Desoto, a resident at the Watermark Legacy. “Then I went to college at Geneseo and started watching the Bills, so I became a Bills and Giants fan. When they met at the Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, I had to make a decision, and I decided I’ll root for the Bills.”‘

‘”Everybody wants to be a starter, but I’m [just] looking forward to fulfilling whatever role it is the team has for me,” Morris said. “If that’s strictly special teams, I’m here for it.”‘

‘”He’s come in and he’s just been great,” said offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey. “He’s provided a lot of energy for us every single day. There hasn’t been a day that practice has rolled around and he doesn’t want to be here. He has attacked every single day with a great attitude, great energy and great leadership.”‘

‘He was just working to the side, and is still on the PUP list, which means he can’t practice or play until he’s activated.’

‘”For personal accolades and achievements, I don’t really care for any of that — it’s more team-oriented stuff,” Kincaid said. “Personal goals — I’ll set some things and write them down, things I want to achieve, but that’s not nearly as important as what I want to achieve with the team.”‘

‘His response was pretty clear, claiming the report is 100 percent not true in a post on X, formerly Twitter.’

‘”It’s kind of fun to just be able to tie two totally different sides of my life in a really cool way,” Jessica said. “It’s always really cool — I love sports, I love learning about other athletes, their process and how they handle things. So, to me, it’s really fun to come out and watch a practice.”‘

‘”There is a lot to learn from” Allen added. “I’m glad we’re going through this now, opposed to during the season. I don’t think it was all bad — the first half, we wish it was prettier, but we’ll learn from it.”‘

‘”I would not want to tackle him,” coach Sean McDermott said. “He’s big, and he runs big.’

‘In 2021, Allen played a substantial amount in the preseason. Last year, he played just a few series.’
