‘The Bills didn’t get a tackle from Sanders during his brief appearance in the preseason finale Saturday, but he cleared the way for Walker to show why his college coaches expressed confidence that he’ll make an impact as a rookie in the NFL. Tampa Bay’s backup offensive linemen couldn’t win one-on-one blocks against the 6-foot-7, 301-pound mauler.’

Bubble watch: Plenty still at stake for Bills in preseason finale
‘If the Bills were to find a trade partner, that would seem to clear a path for Moore to make the team as the No. 4 receiver. Moore is the top backup to Shakir in the slot. While he’s had some uneven moments in the preseason, including a pair of drops against Chicago, he’s had a good deal of time with the starters, including Allen. After that, the question becomes do the Bills keep five or six players at the position? Special teams will factor into the answer. Shavers again has made a strong push this summer. How much the Bills trust him to be a “core four” special teams player might answer the question of whether he’ll crack the roster. Shenault, meanwhile, has had some nice moments and has been used as the primary kick returner. If the Bills think he can return punts and kicks, it could be enough to convince them to keep six receivers. DuBose suffered an injury to his collarbone in practice that will require surgery.’
Bills Mailbag: With injuries mounting, would a pair of familiar faces provide reinforcements?
‘It’s a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league, Doug. The last time we saw Douglas on the field for the Bills, he struggled in the AFC championship game. Cooper was basically a bust as a trade addition last year. The lack of interest in both of them as free agents speaks loudly. I’ve not followed Simmons’ career closely enough to know whether he would be an upgrade over what the Bills currently have at safety.’
