Buffalo Bills Wednesday injury report

We’ve got some good news and some bad news for Buffalo Bills fans today.

Starting Tackle Cordy Glenn did not practice on Wednesday. Glenn missed a shortened Monday practice, as well, due to lingering foot/ankle soreness.

"He’s got some soreness in there and we’re just trying to take it one day at a time," said head coach Sean McDermott.

Following a knee injury sustained against the New York Jets last Thursday night, starting WR Zay Zones also did not practice. Like Glenn, Jones was also held out of practice on Monday.

Coming to the good news part of the day, the possible loss of Jones this week could be mitigated by the return of Charles Clay. Clay, the Bills most established tight end, was able to participate in his first practice today since injuring his knee in Week 5. Although not a full participant, this is encouraging news. As of right now, Clay is expected to return to the lineup this week.

Kelvin Benjamin also set to make his debut for the Bills, there’s a lot to look forward to this weekend.

E.J. Gaines also made his way back to practice today after hurting his hamstring against the Oakland Raiders. The Bills secondary has felt the loss of their starting CB. With the New Orleans Saints coming to town in just a few days, a return this week would be fortunate to say the least.

Second, the Saints, a dome team, is forecast to play in inclement weather in Buffalo could neutrailize thespeed, quickness of its talented backfield...

Three, Bills Head Coach Sean McDermott, a former Panthers Defensive Coordinator, will have ten days to prepare for the his familiar foe...

No matter, it's another excellent test to see if this Saints is progressing into a legit contender...

It's also a huge test for a D that hasn't seen the speed at the QB position that Tyrod Taylor has. He has made D lineman look awful at times and we need to be on point.

Cam was no slouch; but you're right that Taylor is better than people often give him credit and will be a threat as Trubiskey showed we are vulnerable to mobile QBs...

Re: On To Buffalo

Obviously, all games are important especially from here on out. I think we are better team than either the Bills or the Jets. I do feel we will need to show up in a big way. They provide a running attack and those teams with a strong runner and a running QB have given us issues in the past. The Bills can play well, they are inconsistent. The D will show up but their running will still be a concern. The O needs a great game.
