Updated Bills' Upcoming Media Schedule for the Week


Recommended Posts

Quick Hits: Status updates on Kyle Williams and AJ McCarron

 

He was able to walk off the field under his own power Friday night, but veteran DT Kyle Williams will not be practicing for the foreseeable future after head coach Sean McDermott provided a timetable on his potential return to the lineup.

 

“He’s more along the lines of week to week at this point,” McDermott said. “I have a lot of confidence in Kyle, both as a player, a person, healing, but for right now, he remains week to week, so we’ll take it one week at a time.”

 

McDermott was not going to address whether Williams would be ready for the season opener, which sits three weeks away.

 

“I know if Kyle can be out there, he’ll be out there,” he said.

Sean McDermott: "Time to Move Forward" (15:52)

Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott addressed the media before practice on Sunday, August 19th.

 

Joe B: 5 takeaways from Buffalo Bills HC Sean McDermott (8/19/18)

 

(WKBW) - Following their second preseason game of 2018, the Buffalo Bills returned to Orchard Park for the next phase of their build-up to the regular season. Training camp is no more, which also means the same access media received during camp exits along with those summer practices.
 
Practicing full-time in Orchard Park, the Bills now open up their practices only for the first 20-to-25 minutes and then go through their usual team drills without anyone external from the organization watching. Now, all we have to go by is the word of the head coach -- who will speak almost every day until the end of the regular season.
 
What did Sean McDermott say that stood out this time around? Five takeaways from the man in charge of the Bills:
 
1) Bills won't rule out McCarron just yet
2) McDermott keeps pumping up Peterman
3) Some optimism with Kyle Williams
4) Phillips' jump up the depth chart confirmed
5) Another rookie getting closer to landing a pivotal role?

QB competition continues, but just Allen and Peterman practicing

 

Bills head coach Sean McDermott wants injured QB AJ McCarron to complete his second round of testing and finish getting his second opinion before he alters the course of Buffalo’s three-man quarterback competition. But McCarron is currently not fit to practice, which left just Josh Allen and Nate Peterman as active participants in the battle to be the Bills starting quarterback in practice Sunday.

 

“Definitely different because I’ve been playing in the league five years and I’m used to seeing three guys out there,” said Logan Thomas of the two-man quarterback rotation Sunday. “So, it was different, but it was good for Josh and Nate to get extra reps and learn a little bit more and see a little bit more out there.”

The interesting thing was he really did not like Sal's question about the punter and whether they would give him an injury settlement and I felt like it put him in a mood that continued throughout the presser. Then as he walked off stage at the end he audibly shouts over to Sal. 

 

I am not sure if he was pissed at being asked the question or whether he is still pissed at the ridiculous incident that took away a young guy's shot with a needless hit in a pre season game.

Quick Hits: Josh Allen Working with the Starters on Monday

 

There are only two healthy quarterbacks in Buffalo’s current rotation, but head coach Sean McDermott is still alternating Josh Allen and Nate Peterman with the starters. Today’s practice will have Allen with the ones.

 

“(Josh) will be working with the ones and Nate will be working with the twos today,” said McDermott. “We’re staying with the rotation. Nate had the reps with the ones yesterday. Josh will have them today. After today we’ll start to move into a blend into a normal week as we prepare for the next game. Part of that is so our players can get acclimated to the routine of a normal regular season week.”

 

McDermott said he has not yet determined if one of the two quarterbacks will get all the time with the starting unit during the third preseason game, which typically is the final dress rehearsal for the starting unit for the regular season.

Kyle Williams out week-to-week; McCarron still being evaluated

 

Buffalo Bills' head coach Sean McDermott updated the staus of several injured players Sunday, following the team's 19-17 preseason victory over the Cleveland Browns Friday night.

 

Quarterback A.J. McCarron left the game in the first half, but never came out of the locker room after halftime. The Bills announced he was being evlauted for a shoulder injury. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams injured his knee in the second quarter and was taken to the locker room. Punter Cory Carter was carted off the field with a knee injury.

 

Here's what McDermott had to say about each situation:
