Top Bills News

  • Bills' Greg Rousseau: Dominant in season opener

    Rousseau logged four tackles (four solo), including 2.0 sacks, during Buffalo's win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Rousseau was dominant in the season opener, racking up two of the Bills' three sacks of C.J. Stroud. His four solo tackles were also tied for the third most on the team. The 2021 first-round pick will look to build off this strong performance and keep producing during the Week 2 matchup versus Detroit on Thursday.

  • Bills' Terrel Bernard: Limited in consecutive sessions

    Bernard (calf) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Bernard was estimated as a limited participant Monday, following the session up with another limited practice when the Bills were back on the field Tuesday. The linebacker played every defensive snap in the team's 36-31 victory over the Texans last Sunday, proving he will play through the calf injury as long as it is managed. The defensive captain had 12 total tackles and a fumble recovery and will likely suit up against the Lions in Thursday night's home opener.

  • Bills' T.J. Sanders: DNP with illness

    Sanders (knee/illness) did not participate in Tuesday's practice.

    Sanders has come down with an illness and is not ready to suit up as he battles both his immune system and a lingering knee issue. The defensive tackle was inactive for Buffalo's Week 1 game against Houston and is trending towards missing Thursday night's game against Detroit as well.

  • Bills' Cole Bishop: Limited in Tuesday's session

    Bishop (groin) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Bishop was projected as a full participant on Monday's estimated practice report. The realization of limited participation in Tuesday's complete session means the starter is likely working through a minor injury. The safety will likely log a limited session Wednesday before ultimately suiting up for Thursday's contest anyway. If the issue proves too much for the third-year player, Damar Hamlin is set to start at strong safety in his stead.

  • Bills' Ty Johnson: Limited in Tuesday's practice

    Johnson (hamstring) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Johnson has opened Week 2 prep with back-to-back limited practices, and Wednesday's report will provide clarity on whether he'll be available for Thursday night's home tilt against the Lions. The veteran running back is currently working through a right hamstring injury, and he's been dealing with lower-body issues since early training camp. Frank Gore would likely be elevated from the practice squad and serve as Buffalo's RB3 behind James Cook and Ray Davis if Johnson is not cleared to play against Detroit.

  • Bills' Jackson Hawes: No output in box score Week 1

    Hawes didn't record any offensive snaps during Buffalo's win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Hawes was in the starting lineup alongside both Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox but served mainly in a blocking capacity, as he failed to record any targets across 25 offensive snaps. The 25-year-old also saw eight snaps on special teams and should continue to see similar usage going forward unless either Kincaid or Knox is forced to miss time.

  • Bills' Joshua Palmer: Produces game-winning TD

    Palmer caught one of his two targets for a 34-yard touchdown in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.

    Palmer's only targets in Week 1 came on the last two offensive plays of the game for the Bills. Josh Allen missed the wide receiver on a deep ball he couldn't quite react to before delivering a laser between Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock to Palmer for what ended up being the game-winning touchdown. Palmer's 18 offensive snaps prove the wide receiver has some week-to-week upside despite not being a primary option in Buffalo's offense.

  • Bills' Tyler Bass: Makes three FGAs in win

    Bass went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts while making all three of his PATs in Sunday's 36-31 win over the Texans.

    Bass was perfect in Week 1, making field-goal tries from 46, 34 and 33 yards in the victory. The Bills figure to be one of the league's more prolific offenses again in 2026, and as a result, Bass will have a relatively safe floor from a fantasy perspective.

  • Bills' Keon Coleman: Operates as WR3 in Week 1

    Coleman caught his lone target for one yard in the Bills' 36-31 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Buffalo continued to use a rotation at wide receiver to open the 2026 campaign. While DJ Moore paced the group with 26 routes on Josh Allen's 32 dropbacks, Khalil Shakir (20), Coleman (19) and Joshua Palmer (13) fell in line behind him. Between Coleman and Palmer, it was the latter who had the big play, recording what proved to be the game-winning 34-yard touchdown catch with 1:37 left in the fourth quarter. Coleman was targeted on the subsequent failed two-point conversion, and he'll likely need an injury ahead of him to have any fantasy appeal.

  • Bills' Dawson Knox: Catches one pass in Week 1

    Knox caught his only target for seven yards in the Bills' 36-31 win over the Texans on Sunday.

    Buffalo started the game in 13 personnel, featuring all three of Dalton Kincaid, Knox and Jackson Hawes at tight end. Knox ended up playing 38 of 57 offensive snaps and blocked on 23 of those, as he ran just 12 routes overall. Knox and Hawes allow Kincaid to focus on his role as a pass catcher, and the latter ended up leading the team with a 5-130-0 receiving line on six targets.

  • Bills' Ty Johnson: Estimated as limited Monday

    The Bills listed Johnson (hamstring) as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

    After missing the Bills' first two practices of Week 1, Johnson returned to the field Friday as a limited participant and took a questionable tag into Sunday's season opener versus the Texans. Johnson ultimately was inactive for the 36-31 win, but he'll have a stronger chance of making his 2026 debut Thursday against the Lions if he can upgrade to full participation in practice at some point over the next two days.
