He was thought of as a really nice signing but hasn’t played much if at all. Numbers really...they have quality Dlinemen and someone is going to have to sit, usually 1 interior and 1 edge guy...Ford will play, just has to wait his turn for a bit.

Jonathan is not a bad option to play more Sunday. He brings heat. Maybe it's just as insurance should Rousseau not be ready to go, but Miller made the trip over with the team. 1
That Aud Smell Posted October 6, 2023 Report Posted October 6, 2023 I saw somewhere that Rousseau’s injury isn’t looking good for this week. Rough news, especially if it’s anything serious. The guy has been a revelation so far this season. 1
That Aud Smell Posted October 6, 2023 Report Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) Rousseau officially out for Sunday. Bummer. From what I gathered on (fka) Twitter, he got stepped on in the Miami game. But he then played through that for much of the game. Hopefully it's just a contusion/bruising that swelled up once he took his cleats off. Fingers crossed that there's nothing broken. Per McDermott, Rousseau's status will have no bearing on whether Miller plays. If they activate Miller, they will need to waive someone. Based on snap count, I'd guess they'd waive Kingsley Jonathan and hope he goes unclaimed (although I think that unlikely). I like Jonathan's upside more than Shaq Lawson's known skill set (which is solid, but unspectacular), but I think McDermott would want to keep the steady veteran as one of his ends.

Wow. And yikes. Maybe they’ll be palatable with some Frank’s?

You waive the player that is last on the depth chart in a position that is not in a critical state - especially if there are people on the PS in that position that are capable. I don't know enough about every player to name who that is, I just think that Jonathan would get picked up because he is an edge rusher with upside. 1

mjd1001 Posted October 6, 2023 Report Posted October 6, 2023 I'm feeling really good about the Bills right now, more than I thought I would. Sure, they could lose this week, and if they have a major injury again that can change, but after the Miami game, I don't think there is a team that they cannot beat. If, IF Buffalo plays their best game and any other team plays their best game, right now I think Buffalo wins those games against anyone else. Of course the issue like always is...how often does Buffalo play their best. Its like Josh Allen vs Mahomes. Take both of them playing their best game and I think Allen is just as good, maybe better...BUT the issue is Mahomes plays closer to his ceiling more often. After Buffalo, I think its San Francisco, then KC, then Philly, Baltimore, Dallas, and Miami as the teams I would be the most worried about giving the Bills problems in a matchup (in that order). Seattle, Cleveland, Detroit and even Jacksonville are 2 steps behind but they might still give the Bills trouble. A healthy Josh Allen just gives the bills at worst a 50-50 shot against any team (and likely more than that) on any given week. 1

Scottysabres Posted October 6, 2023 Report Posted October 6, 2023 I'm recanting my post season opener rant, maybe we shouldn't trade Allen. But as with any Bills fan, I reserve the right to over-react on any given ass kicking the team may take. My 4 Super Bowl losses in a row life time therapists, Jim Beam and Jack Daniel's (2 upstanding model citizens I might add) tell me this is a natural reaction.

But as an alternative I suspect there will be some 'gymnastics' with the practice squad rules tomorrow afternoon - especially because they are allowed to travel with the team for overseas games. Or they just waive Josh and hope he clears.

Scottysabres Posted October 8, 2023 Report Posted October 8, 2023 Injury bug hitting at a bad time. Hoping these are just dings and nothing long term. But the defense is getting banged up a bit.
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 8, 2023 Report Posted October 8, 2023 So far, so not so great. I am sticking by my predicton though.

Teams can elevate two practice squad players without waiving anyone, effectively increasing the roster from 55 to 57 players and increasing the gameday active roster, also by two. 13 hours ago, That Aud Smell said: This ⬆️ seems prescient.
