‘“I didn’t know what the mood of the fans and the city of Buffalo would be because I had said I wouldn’t be a Buffalo Bill,” Kelly said, “but the reception I had at the airport and coming down the Thruway with all the banners and the people lined up on the overpasses waving to me, it was very exciting, unbelievable. I never thought I’d get that kind of reception. It was nuts. I’d always heard Buffalo fans were crazy, but you can’t imagine what that day was like.”’

Buffalo Bills’ kicking concerns realized as Bass heads to IR before Ravens matchup

Bills safety Cole Bishop is eager to notions he's not up for the challenge to be a starter

How I became a Buffalo Bills fan – and learned what home means
‘That’s because the Bills are Buffalo. They’re the spirit of the city, and for many Buffalonians, a metaphor for it too. Buffalo’s boom times are long behind it, though the architectural marvels built by the money flowing through the Erie Canal speak to its former importance as an industrial hub. The city is generally depicted as hard on its luck, featuring in the news usually only when there’s a disaster, like the shooting of 10 Black people in 2022, or the more recent bus crash that killed five. But what that narrative misses is the story of a town that’s quietly been undergoing an economic and cultural revival thanks to significant public spending and committed local preservationists.’
Bills place kicker Bass on injured reserve, likely turning to veteran Prater to start season
‘Bass, who has been with the Bills since 2020, will be eligible to return after four games. Prater, who is trying to resume his career after suffering a knee injury in Week 4 last season with the Arizona Cardinals, will likely kick for the Bills in their season opener against Baltimore on Sunday.’
Bills' re-signings crucial for next chapter
‘Cook is part of a 2022 draft class that saw four of its eight members — himself, cornerback Christian Benford, wide receiver Khalil Shakir and linebacker Terrel Bernard — receive four-year extensions this offseason, as did 2021 first-round pick defensive end Greg Rousseau.’
Bills put Bass on IR; Prater to handle kicking duties
‘Bass initially was dealing with pelvic soreness during training camp and missed the first two preseason games with the injury. He returned for the third preseason game and made 3 of 4 field goal attempts. The kicker, however, was limited on the team’s injury report (left hip/groin) and did not participate in practice Thursday or Friday. Coach Sean McDermott described Bass as dealing with a continuation of his soreness.’
Bills CB Tre'Davious White 'doubtful' for season opener against Ravens
‘White started in just eight games over the past two seasons. He was a two-time Pro Bowler and a 2019 first-team All-Pro after leading the NFL with six interceptions in his first stint with the Bills. He also started 72 games in his first five seasons in Buffalo and had multiple interceptions in each of his first four years with the franchise.’
Who is the Bills' kicker? Buffalo makes major Tyler Bass injury announcement before Week 1
‘Tyler Bass was placed on Injured Reserve on Friday. He’s out a minimum of four games before he can return.’
Bills QB Josh Allen will wear unique jersey patch in 2025
‘Per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN, Allen, as well as other former MVPs, will wear a special gold shield logo on the collar of his uniform that highlights the fact he has won an MVP. Offensive and Defensive Players of the Year will also have the gold shield.’
Bills already facing severe disadvantage vs. Ravens in Week 1
‘Buffalo is dealing with a long list of injuries in the secondary. Christian Benford has been limited in practice, and rookie first-round pick Max Hairston will be out for at least the first four games due to a knee injury. On top of that, veteran Tre’Davious White has missed practice all week. This means that rookie Day Three draft pick Dorian Strong will likely be the CB2, or perhaps CB1 if Benford cannot go. That said, Benford was a full participant on Thursday. That said, the lack of depth behind him is a real issue.’
