‘“He’s just getting here, getting into the physical and all that stuff, but assuming all that goes well,” said Beane, who left the door open for Douglas to suit up as soon as Sunday when the Bills will head to Cincinnati to take on the Bengals at 8:20 p.m. “Hopefully we can get him out there at least to watch at some point, and then we’ll take it one day at a time. That’d be up to Sean and the coaches how much his game reps would look like this week.”’

‘“Obviously, unfortunate when it’s your throwing shoulder,” Allen said. “As a thrower, you don’t like feeling any sort of, I wouldn’t even call it pain, just discomfort in there. So we’re just trying to stay on top of it and get ahead of it when we can. Obviously, I hate not practicing, I hate not being involved in what we’re doing, but at the same time I know this is probably what’s best and putting myself in the best situation to make sure that I’m ready to go tomorrow and for Sunday.”’

You just instinctively know what to do, because you understand how it all fits together.”‘
