Joe Buscaglia

Bills HC Sean McDermott said WR Khalil Shakir is cleared for contact at Friday's practice.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said on WGR-AM that TE Dalton Kincaid and DT Phidarian Mathis are OUT vs. the Buccaneers.

WR Khalil Shakir is "heading in the right direction and should be in a good spot for the game." That's a bit of a surprise.

Some Bills changes on the way in Week 11? After a humbling loss to the Dolphins, the Bills return home to take on a talented Buccaneers team in Week 11, but might some lineup changes be on the way this week? The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia…

Bills vs. Buccaneers on Sunday...And it's about that time for our weekly Live Room episode of #TheBuffaloBeat podcast!

I'll be taking all your Bills questions for the next 40 or so minutes.

Bills notebook: Lineup shakeups loom, Shakir’s Week 11 status, Mecole Hardman outlook The Bills will have their hands full against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are coming off a loss and have yet to lose back-to-back games.

After a humbling loss, the Bills have a tough game with the Buccaneers up next.

But after that kind of loss, as it's been in the past with McDermott, changes could be coming.

Why I think we could see some lineup switch-ups this week, where we could see them & why: www.nytimes.com/athletic/680...

Bills WR Khalil Shakir remained in a non-contact jersey on Thursday, but practiced. He’s listed with ankle and ribs injuries.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said he's excited about new practice squad WR Mecole Hardman. He talked about the speed element and positional versatility.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said DE A.J. Epenesa will practice in full Wednesday. He missed last week's game with a concussion.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said CB Christian Benford, LB Terrel Bernard, DE Joey Bosa, NCB Taron Johnson, NCB Cam Lewis, WR Khalil Shakir, LB Shaq Thompson and LB Dorian Williams will all be limited participants during Wednesday's practice.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said TE Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and DT Phidarian Mathis (upper body/shoulder) will not practice Wednesday.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said rookie DT TJ Sanders will practice in full on Wednesday. They just opened up his 21-day practice window.

WR Joshua Palmer will practice in full and is "looking like he's on schedule and ready to go."

We know the Bills passing offense & WRs are struggling.

However, the buzz is building in-house for Gabe Davis. I caught up with a few long-time Bills DBs last week on how Davis has looked on the field.

Plus some other ideas on how they pivot.

All here: www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

Bills HC Sean McDermott said of the idea of adding the recently fired Giants head coach and former Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll to the staff this year that "at this point" it isn't a consideration. He was very complimentary of Daboll.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said they are committed to OC Joe Brady the rest of the way.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said TE Dalton Kincaid is week-to-week with a hamstring injury. Rookie DE Landon Jackson will be out this week at a minimum with a knee injury, though they don't have a timetable on him at this point.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said rookie DT T.J. Sanders will have his 21-day practice window opened this week. He's spent four games on IR.

The Bills are at a painful crossroads with their offense.

They preach two-dimensional football but are anything but. Answers must follow… and quickly.

My thoughts on an unexpected and humbling Bills loss to the previously 2-7 Dolphins: www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

Another week, and more of the same for the Bills in a humbling loss.

The passing offense just isn't good enough. Period.

My thoughts on a quickly heightening problem that has been the identity of the Bills 2025 campaign: www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

Bills rookie DE Landon Jackson is on crutches with a brace on his right knee

The Bills have signaled the white flag. QB Josh Allen's day is done. Mitchell Trubisky is in.

Bills RB Ray Davis is attempting the onside kick

Dalton Kincaid is standing on the sideline, no helmet and a towel over his head. No signs of return right now.

Bills TE Dalton Kincaid just limped and hopped to the sideline

Current Bills MVP vs. Dolphins: P Mitch Wishnowsky. Two punts, with a net average of 52 yards.

Yep. That's how it's going right now.

Cleared to return, Bills starting CB Tre'Davious White has indeed re-entered the game to begin the upcoming defensive series.

Bills DT DaQuan Jones just took a snap at DE with the Bills already down to three DEs

Landon Jackson is now headed to the locker room with his arm around a member of the athletic training staff to help him there.

Rookie DE Landon Jackson is being helped to the sidelines by the athletic training staff and doctors. If he can't play the rest of the game, the Bills are down to only three defensive ends for the game. He's in the blue medical tent now.

Bills rookie DE Landon Jackson is down on the field after the second down play.

This could potentally be a Terrel Bernard situation from the Panthers game. Bernard was active for the game but did not get any snaps and was active for emergencies only. Jones only returned to practice on Thursday from a multi-week layoff.

Bills DTs on the first rep of 11 on 11s in warmups: Deone Walker and Jordan Phillips.

Notably, it is not DaQuan Jones, who is active for the first time since the Atlanta game in Week 6, in which he popped his calf in pregame warmups and could not play.
