junior Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Same could be said for the Bills: Quote The Buffalo Bills received some good news on the injury front when wide receiver Stefon Diggs returned to practice Monday. But in today’s edition of the Bills daily links, we discuss the growing list of Bills who are sitting out with various injuries. The list includes wide receiver John Brown and defensive end Quinton Jefferson, who are out with illnesses that are not believed to be COVID-19-related, along with defensive tackle Vernon Butler, tight end Tyler Kroft, guard Quinton Spain, cornerback Josh Norman and more.

If true, that's actually a huge relief. Kroft needs to stay healthy so we can actually see what he can do in this offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I've been reading Jets forums and camp reports just about every day. Most Jets fans are convinced that this type of injury rash is happening all over the league. I disagree. While there are lots of soft tissue injuries so far this year, I haven't seen any other team suffering the same level of bad injury luck as the Jets so far. I remember when it used to happen to the Bills every single year, and I thought it was just dumb luck. Then the Bills brought in a completely new strength and conditioning staff and nutritionists and spent a bazillion dollars building state-of-the-art training and rehab facilities at One Bills Drive. Lo and behold, Bills players stopped getting injured at such high rates -- knock on wood. Anyway...in 12 days, the Bills actually get to play these jokers. It's gonna be a laugher. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they have a revamped OL. While they may be better on paper, the lack of practice time and preseason games will make it almost impossible to develop chemistry. Playing the Bills and 49ers the 1st two weeks is not an ideal situation for them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgotBILLStopay Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Injuries noptwithstanding, I still expect Greggo's defense to be good. It is their offense we should take advantage of.

TigerJ Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 The Jets have lost some key pieces, but this latest is relatively minor. Yeah, the linebacker will mist the game with the Bills, but the others look like day to day injuries, the kind every team is dealing with. The Bills are going to crush them in any case.

It was not every single year until 2003 or so. Bills USED to have some of the best conditioned players due to Rusty Jones but then he was "promoted" away from players and got tired of being in front office. Ruben Brown who saw what Rusty did told Chicago Bears to bring him there and he left promotion to go back to old job with Bears and their players got healthier. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right about that. But these players need the reps and practice/preseason games to get back into "football shape" Getting used to hitting or being hit. I do think the preseason is to long. I wouldn't mind them cutting back to two preseason games in the future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont Stop Billeiving Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I've been scouting the threads/practice reports on the Jets Nation forum for the past week or so and while their current injury list is long, it sounds like they are expecting a lot of guys back before the season begins to be fair. Poole and Van Roten are back already, Mims and Desir are expected back by end of the week, Perine's injury wasn't as serious as originally feared etc. The missed reps especially by rookies like Mims and Perine have to take a toll though. And if Maye and Perriman miss Week 1, those would be significant losses for them. With such a weird off-season, continuity is that much more important. Injuries aside, the Bills having the most continuity in the league compared to the Jets' turnover is a major advantage in our Week 1 match-up.
