Cook rushed 19 times for 108 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 10 yards in the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

Cook served as the ideal complement to the exploits of Josh Allen through the air (228 yards, three touchdowns). The star running back had a game-long run of 26 yards, so he was able to consistently find running room throughout the night. The 2022 second-round pick also recorded his fourth rushing touchdown of the season on a two-yard run to cap off the first drive of the second half, and he'll take a stellar figure of 5.4 yards per carry into a Week 4 home matchup against the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 28.

Allen completed 22 of 28 passes for 213 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions while adding four rushes for 25 yards in the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night. He also fumbled once but recovered.

Allen finished with a sparkling 134.1 QB rating in the divisional win, which may have been more tightly contested than initially expected. As a result, the star signal-caller was appreciably more involved through the air than during a comfortable Week 2 win against the Jets, completing passes to nine different targets overall. Allen's first two scoring tosses went to tight ends Dalton Kincaid (20 yards) and Jackson Hawes (five yards), the latter a nifty heave while on the run. Allen closed out his night with a 15-yard strike to Khalil Shakir midway through the fourth quarter to snap a 21-21 tie, and he'll head into a Week 4 home date against the Saints on Sunday, Sept. 28 with an unblemished 5:0 TD:INT and career-best 69.7 percent completion rate through his first three contests.

Dodson recorded 11 solo tackles, including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed in Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Bills.

Dodson reached double-digit solo tackles for the first time in his six-year NFL career, one of which was a sack of quarterback Josh Allen in the third quarter. The linebacker has now registered 33 total tackles (23 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over three contests this season.

Bernard finished with seven tackles (five solo), including one for a loss, and an interception in the Bills' 31-21 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.

The middle linebacker's fourth-quarter pick of Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa allowed the Bills to drive down for a game-clinching field goal. Bernard now has 14 tackles (nine solo) on the season to go along with the interception and a fumble recovery.

Brooks recorded four solo tackles in Thursday's 31-21 loss to the Bills.

Brooks was unable to repeat his elite performance from Week 2, finishing tied for fourth on the team in takedowns against Buffalo. The linebacker has seen his tackle production drop each week this season, but he's now compiled 26 total tackles (13 solo), including 1.0 sacks, to this point in the year.

Patterson converted all three of his extra-point tries in Miami's 31-21 loss to Buffalo on Thursday night.

The kicker, who was again elevated from the practice squad ahead of the contest to fill in for Jason Sanders (hip), has now made both of his field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries in 2025. Sanders remains on injured reserve and therefore has to miss at least one more game, meaning Patterson will likely be called on again in a Week 4 home matchup against the Jets on Monday night, Sept. 29.

Prater went 1-for-2 on field-goal tries and made four PATs in Thursday's 31-21 win over the Dolphins.

Prater was unable to remain perfect in 2025, missing a 39-yard field-goal attempt wide left in the second quarter. He later redeemed himself, connecting on a 48-yard field goal to put the Bills up 31-21 with 22 seconds remaining in the game. Prater has now made seven out of eight field-goal tries and all nine of his PATs over three contests with Buffalo this season.

Marshall (hamstring) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday night's matchup with the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The cornerback exited in the second quarter after making one solo tackle. Dante Trader should handle Miami's slot corner role with Marshall out.

Marshall has a hamstring injury and is questionable to return to Thursday night's matchup with the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

The cornerback recorded one solo tackle before exiting in the second quarter. Marshall played on 52 combined defensive snaps across the first two games, making two tackles (one solo). Dante Trader should see more snaps in his absence.

Nowaske (elbow) was a full participant in practice Thursday.

The linebacker missed each of Detroit's first two games with the elbow issue, though he appears on track to return for the team's Week 3 showdown with Baltimore. Nowaske played about equally on special teams and defense in 2024, and he's likely in line for a similar role in 2025 with Derrick Barnes, Jack Campbell and Alex Anzalone ahead of him on the depth chart.
