Welp, my “worried about Beasley” light is blinking.

 

it wasn’t with Stills cause that made sense a month ago. Now it is.

Yep and the official designation is a Knee. Guess we will see how it progresses.

Could also be they want to have some good fits lined up ready for quick signings in case they need to rush someone in between playoff games. 
 

Someone goes down on Sunday,  you don’t want to have to try someone out and then get them in protocol. 
 

This makes sense given Josh’s familiarity and chemistry with him.

Well he is an outside WR too. Not a slot guy so there is that as well.

One has to wonder if this visit has to do with something like Josh Allen’s voice in the organization pulling some weight. 
 

IE “Beane we need to bring in my old teammate for a look. He could add to us”. 
 

 

That seems like a pretty big stretch to me, looking at a guy you know your QB has had good chemistry with as a bubble player makes plenty of sense.

What goes on when a player comes in?

 

Would allen throw to a player like stills during the visit?

 

I ask because maybe they didnt have chemistry or maybe stills is looking for a long term or more money than the bills are willing to give

 

Or maybe its another practice squad player that knows Allen and this is a nothing burger

I think that is exactly what he would be. On the PS and a call up if needed during Playoffs. And a Futures contract to see what he brings with a full offseason.

Aren't there different rules governing practice squad call ups and such for the playoffs?  Teams are going to have increased flexibility to carry more guys and move them around without the risk of losing them?

 

I suspect we're seeing the Cleveland Browns effect in full operation here.  They lost all four starting WR's to covid.  If it could happen to them it could happen to anyone.  It's almost as if the Bills are assembling a shadow receiving group just in case.

My understanding is that usually a PS player would be doing the throwing. Sometimes, in other years, they’d bring in multiple guys to get a look at having one throw to the other

We said this years ago but Gentry makes a lot of sense for the Bills.  The connection him and Allen had in college was fun to watch.

Gentry can play the slot and Wyoming used him in the possession receiver role quite a bit.  It was even stated in the article you posted:  

  • Has experience in playing in the slot and wide as well and also ran all routes on the route tree.
