Bills' Cole Bishop: Past injury
Cole Bishop (lower leg) was not listed on the Buffalo Bills' estimated injury report Wednesday.Bishop missed a portion of Buffalo's Week 15 win over the Lions due to a lower leg issue, but his omission from Wednesday's injury report suggests that he's already recovered. The rookie safety from Utah played 46 defensive snaps while Taylor Rapp (neck) was sidelined Sunday, recording five total tackles. Bishop could have another opportunity to start in the Week 16 matchup against the Patriots if Rapp is unable to suit up.

Bills' Cole Bishop: Participates in full
Cole Bishop (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.The 2024 second-round pick out of Utah dealt with a shoulder injury throughout August, but it appears he's moved past the issue after a full practice Wednesday. Bishop is currently slotted as Buffalo's second-string free safety behind Damar Hamlin, but don't be surprised if Bishop's playing time increases as the season progresses.

Bills' Cole Bishop: Dons red non-contact jersey
Cole Bishop (shoulder) returned to practice Tuesday and did not participate in contact drills, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.Bishop suffered a shoulder injury at the end of July, which has kept him from participating in practices and preseason games. He's progressed enough in his recovery to take part in walkthroughs and individual drills, but he will avoid engaging in contact and will likely not suit up for Buffalo's preseason finale against Carolina on Saturday. Once healthy, Bishop -- the Buffalo Bills' second-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft -- could see some meaningful defensive snaps early in the regular season due to injuries to safeties Damar Hamlin (hamstring) and Mike Edwards (hamstring)

Bills' Cole Bishop: Showing improvement
Cole Bishop (shoulder) is slated to take part in walkthroughs and parts of individual drills at practice this week, Maddy Glab of the Buffalo Bills' official site reports.Bishop injured his shoulder during practice in late July and hasn't been able to participate in any capacity since. His impending return to limited practice participation suggests that the rookie is improving, but it seems unlikely that he'll be able to suit up for the Bills' exhibition finale against Carolina on Saturday. As a 2024 second-round pick, Bishop is still likely to make the 53-man roster, and he's expected to work in a backup role while also serving on special teams.

Bills' Cole Bishop: Buffalo bound in second round
The Buffalo Bills selected Cole Bishop in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 60th overall.Bishop has big shoes to fill as the Bills attempt to replace both of their longtime standout safeties (Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde), and it won't be easy to imitate their high level of play over the years. With that said, coach Sean McDermott is a scholar of defensive backs, and there's no doubt his coaching helped maximize both Poyer and Hyde. What makes Bishop especially interesting is that, unlike Poyer and Hyde, he's a big-time athlete. At 6-foot-2, 206 pounds, the Utah standout logged a 4.45-second 40-yard dash in addition to a 39-inch vertical. The challenge for McDermott will be to harness Bishop's superior athleticism and transform the rookie into the technicians both Poyer and Hyde developed into. Bishop could soon establish a major presence both on the field and in IDP fantasy formats.
