‘His actions are inspirational’: UC Medical Center ready for Hamlin, Bills return to Cincinnati
‘“I think what his actions are is what you’d call inspirational because he didn’t just give back to the health system that responded, he’s giving back to the country,” Dr. Saad Ahmad, interventional and heart failure cardiologist at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, said.’
CB Kaiir Elam, still in Bills plans, could be headed to IR
‘Elam was inactive until Week 5 after Tre White suffered a season-ending Achilles tear. He has played in three games this season, starting two of them. After the Bills signed 35-year-old Josh Norman to the practice squad on Oct. 10, he was active for last Thursday’s 24-18 win against Tampa Bay, while Elam went back to the inactive list. Elam did not practice on Wednesday due to the ankle injury.’

‘“I got to know Leonard back in the (2017) pre-draft process… spent a lot of time with him and Christian (McCaffrey) down in Baton Rouge,” Beane said. “Good to see him again. He obviously has had a nice career. He’s won a Super Bowl… at this point, he’s waited long enough, he’s ready to join the team, so I’m excited to get him here.”’

‘“I think right now, our focus is that we know we got an opponent and we’re trying to focus on that,” Beane said, adding “Obviously, you’re human, you’re not gonna walk in there and not think about it, but everyone’s going to compartmentalize it and do their job.”’
Allen sits out of practice Wednesday, should be fine for Sunday as he nurses shoulder injury
‘”I don’t think it’s going to linger too much,” Allen said. ” If I had to practice today, I absolutely would have. If the game was today, I’m playing in the game. But (I’m) just trying to make sure it’s not super sore and we’re just trying to stay on top of it and get ahead of it while we can.”‘

Buffalo Bills add starting-caliber cornerback with deal for Green Bay's Rasul Douglas
‘Douglas, 28, is a big cornerback with 57 career starts and a reputation as a quality defender in a zone-heavy coverage scheme, which is what the Bills play.’
Ryan O'Halloran: Avoiding rental market, adding player with 2024 value equals win for Brandon Beane
‘Douglas is a player who can contribute for the rest of this season (can you be up to speed by 8:20 p.m. Sunday in Cincinnati, Rasul?) and projects as a starter next year. And that should have been Beane’s main goal. If he were going to give up a premium draft pick, it would have to be for a player with term on his contract.’
Jim Kubiak: More up-tempo and three and four wide receiver sets, please
‘He was masterful in hurry-up mode, calling out and changing protections, audibling plays, and in absolute operational command of everything that was happening at the line of scrimmage. In my opinion, Allen’s performance was the most significant and perhaps the best of this season. Considering several significant defensive injuries; the slow starts against the Jaguars, Giants, and Patriots; the short week; and the emotional fervor that would have accompanied a loss on Thursday Night Football, Allen’s performance was beyond sensational. His decisiveness was remarkable as he picked apart the Bucs, taking what was given through the air and with his legs (seven rushes for 41 yards). Credit offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey for utilizing the no-huddle, hurry-up mode to get off to a fast start and keeping Allen in an attacking mode.’
