We’ll cover this in a separate article, but injuries are the biggest news for Buffalo roster-wide right now. The Bills are banged up, especially at wide receiver and tight end. Much of it can be chalked up to players having quickly ramped up their efforts, such as with wide receiver Elijah Moore (general leg soreness), wide receivers Curtis Samuel and Kaden Prather sustaining hamstring injuries, and Tyrell Shavers suffering an ankle injury that has him day to day.

Tight end Dalton Kincaid is dealing with some type of knee injury. Additionally, while Dawson Knox was activated from the non-football injury list, he was also a non-participant on Monday thanks to hamstring trouble.

Elsewhere, two of Buffalo’s top three linebackers are ailing — Terrel Bernard has his own hamstring injury, while Dorian Williams has an unspecific lower leg concern. Neither ‘backer practiced on Monday.

But all’s not doom and gloom around One Bills Drive East.

Wide receiver Keon Coleman continues to impress, with plenty of camp highlights showing just how valuable his basketball background is for the offense. Reports on wide receivers Joshua Palmer and Elijah Moore, new additions to the team in 2025, have painted pictures of a strong connection building between the pair and quarterback Josh Allen.

Rave reviews continue flowing in about linebacker Matt Milano, who just turned 31 on Monday. Several have stated that he looks back to his former All-Pro self. Buffalo will be a far more dangerous team if Milano is able to stay healthy and available all season.

Cornerback Christian Benford continues dominating the competition, with a clear physical advantage against most receivers matched up against him (including Coleman). Nickel cornerback Taron Johnson had a message for the media about Benford:

Testing everything out now and those results should not be viewed as a barometer for how the regular season will play out. If we understand anything, it’s that offensive coordinator Joe Brady will do all he can to put Allen in the best position to succeed.

That said, there have been several highlight-worthy play made against Allen, such as this:
