Sunday wasn’t a great day for the Buffalo Bills on many levels. The scoreboard wasn’t friendly, but neither was the fire.
We found out that DJ Moore is not Ironman after all, and the Bills ran out of cornerbacks before the game clock ran out of minutes. The result: back up safety Damar Hamlin entered the game at nickel.

We have a lot to watch this week as the Bills prepare to head west for their Monday night showdown with the Los Angeles Rams.
Here’s what we know after day one of practice.
*Couch is on the practice sqaud so frequently not listed on the daily injury reports. However, he was not seen during the portion of practice open to media according to multiple sources.
CB Christian Benford – ankle
ILB Terrel Bernard – knee
OLB Bradley Chubb – thumb
ILB Joe Andreessen – knee
WR Keon Coleman – ankle
RB Ray Davis – hamstring
OG Ar’maj Reed-Adams – eblow
DT T.J. Sanders – illness
LB Dorian Williams – hip
Benford practicing is going to be a big positive this week. Yes, he’s not been stellar, but he’s better than whatever that was Buffalo was doing on Sunday. If he’s unable to run, however, the Bills did sign A.J. Woods to their practice squad this week, giving them another young option at cornerback. Likewise, if Alford can’t go, we could see Geno Stone called up to help that very confused looking back seven.

On offense, the question will always be can Moore go. The 29-year-old wide receiver thinks he’s Ironman, and he never misses games – like seriously, never. And Joe Brady told us today that if Moore says he can go, he will be active. But if not – will we get to see rookie Skyler Bell wear a game day jersey this week?
