The heartbreaking news on Ed Oliver has been processing for #BillsMafia the past 24 hours. I wrote about the loss, what it means, what the Bills can do and where the spotlight will shine the rest of the way for Buffalo’s defense. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Bills DC Bobby Babich describing Michael Hoecht, who attended IVY League Brown, as a player: "If you compare it to music, he's a composer for classical music when it comes to scheme. But then when you put him out on the field, it's like heavy metal."

Could Max Hairston return Sunday against the Panthers? Sean McDermott isn't ruling it out. My story on the rookie first-round pick who's ramping up this week at Bills practice. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

WR Joshua Palmer (ankle), DT DaQuan Jones (calf) and S Taylor Rapp (knee) are all OUT this Sunday vs, the Panthers, Bills coach Sean McDermott said on WGR 550. Rapp is headed to injured reserve. The Bills will now have two open roster spots to fill.

The Buffalo Bills' plan to remake their defense began in March, when Brandon Beane signed Larry Ogunjobi & Michael Hoecht. After 6 games watching from home, the two big FA additions are ready to return. “Defensive football, it’s juice and energy." www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Bills open 21-day practice window for Maxwell Hairston. Rookie CB can now return at some point in the next 3 weeks. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

There are plenty of reasons for concern with a Bills team that enters the bye with two straight losses. Here are 4 major questions the powers that be must answer before the Panthers game. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo/2025...

Bills injury list continues to grow. T.J. Sanders and Damar Hamlin set to go on injured reserve & Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo's best weapon in the passing game this season, is dealing with an oblique injury. Here's more. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

What Sean McDermott and Joe Brady said about Keon Coleman getting benched on first drive against the Patriots. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Ed Oliver WAS NOT injured by one of his horses. Here's my story after we caught with the Bills DT ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Mitch Morse & David Edwards formed a lasting bond after just one year together. Morse returned to Buffalo this weekend and I caught up with Edwards, who explained how one night at a pool table w/ Morse changed everything. #BillsMafia www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Terrel Bernard found Cole Bishop after his 1st NFL interception to deliver a message: "He saved points. That play that really changed the game.” Bernard said the Bills know Bishop is going to continue to get better - and they need him to do just that. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Latest Bills injury update ahead of Sunday’s game against the Saints ⬇️ www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Ed Oliver (ankle) & Matt Milano (pectoral) have been ruled out and won't play Sunday against the Saints, per Sean McDermott on @WGR550. Spencer Brown (calf) and A.J. Epenesa (pectoral) will be limited today in practice and questionable for Sunday's game.

Bills coach Sean McDermott provided an update on injured CB Max Hairston on Wednesday. The timeline remains unclear as he slowly begins ramping up from a knee injury back in July. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Buffalo Bills OC Joe Brady explains lack of deep passing game against Miami Dolphins. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Some encouragement from a teammate helped rookie Deone Walker flush a early-game mistake to be ready for his moment in the 4th quarter. “I was just telling Deone, like, I ain’t gonna lie, bro. The guys out there, nobody can block you.” www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Bills execute late as James Cook had it going again on the ground & Terrel Bernard calls game late in the 4th quarter. Buffalo wins turnover battle for 25th consecutive game. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Matt Milano is injured again. He sustained a pec injury Sunday against the Jets. Here's a look at how the Bills will proceed without him if he can't play Thursday night and beyond. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Here’s my story on Bills’ Joey Bosa from East Rutherford. 2 forced fumbles, a sack, 2 QB hits & 6 QB pressures vs. Jets. “I think he had the mindset like, I’m gonna take this over and I think he did that very early on.” www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Bills dominated the Jets in every way and answered plenty of questions about their run defense — for now. Impressive showing from Buffalo defense without Ed Oliver and Taron Johnson. James Cook was spectacular. My story from MetLife. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

T.J. Sanders, come on down. With Ed Oliver now ruled out for Sunday vs. Jets, the rookie will get even more opportunities. Sean McDermott said Sanders did some good things in his debut but learning how to compete at NFL level is a process. Here's more. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Bills DT Ed Oliver (ankle) WILL NOT play this week against the New York Jets, per Sean McDermott on @WGR550. Oliver's foot was stepped on during Wednesday's practice.

Sean McDermott says no true update on rookie CB Maxwell Hairston (knee) other than he's off the crutches and starting to move around a little. On if injured reserve to start season could be in play: "Due to the timeline, there may be a conversation had at some point."

James Cook is expected to practice today, per Sean McDermott. "I would say that things have changed. Yes, we've had conversations with James. The information that we're getting is that he's moving in the direction of practicing today."

Josh Allen spoke passionately today about his teammate James Cook after the final practice of Bills camp. "We desperately want him there with us, and hopefully something can get done.” Here's my wrap-up from the final day at St. John Fisher. www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bill...

Josh Allen fully supports James Cook as hold-in continues. Allen said business side is hardest part of NFL. “This is generational stuff. It's for you & your family. He’s still going through mental reps. He's a pro; he knows what he's doing. We desperately want him out there.”
