After an exhilarating Monday night showdown, the Bills returned to the grind with a walk-through on Wednesday. The first injury report of the week is, hence, a mere estimate — but it does carry some weighty news.
Neck Injury Sidelines Cornerback Kaiir Elam
News flash: cornerback Kaiir Elam is on the injury report, marked as limited owing to a neck injury. Head coach Sean McDermott revealed on Wednesday that this unfortunate knock occurred during the Bills’ thrilling victory over the Jaguars on Monday night.
Bernard, Grable, and Johnson: The Unlikely Trio
On the “wouldn’t-have-practiced” list are linebacker Terrell Bernard with a pectoral injury, offensive lineman Tylan Grable nursing a groin strain, and cornerback Taron Johnson sporting a bruised forearm. The trio forms an eclectic band of brothers stuck on the sidelines for now:
- Grable is expected to be out for quite some time, stirring concern among the Bills’ faithful.
- There’s a glimmer of hope for Bernard and Johnson, as they might lace up their cleats for practice in some way, shape, or form this week.
All Hands on Deck for Allen, Morris, and Trubisky
But fear not, Bills Mafia! There’s some good news on the horizon:
- Quarterback Josh Allen — despite a left hand injury — is reportedly ready to roll, like an unstoppable freight train.
- Our tight end heavyweight, Quintin Morris, should hold the line with his shoulder issue.
- Backup quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is raring to go, knee injury be darned.
As the team gears up for another week of gridiron gladiatorial combat, Coach McDermott and his crew will undoubtedly be strategizing and scheming. We’re crossing our fingers and toes that the injured lads can leap back into action. So, faithful Bills fans, buckle up and hold onto your hats; this season continues to deliver one thrilling ride after another!
