Chris Ivory – Noteworthy
RB Chris Ivory had a tough day as he gained only five yards on six carries and on one run, he was tackled by his dreadlocks.
Corey Bojorquez – Noteworthy
P Corey Bojorquez averaged 48.6 yards on the five punts he got off, but he did have one blocked, the first against the Bills since 2011.
Derek Anderson – Important
QB Derek Anderson will start Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts, coach Sean McDermott announced Wednesday. Anderson will get the nod after rookie Josh Allen injured his right elbow in last Sunday’s 20-13 loss to the Houston Texans. McDermott added there is no surgery planned for Allen, who was the seventh overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft. The 35-year-old Anderson signed with the Bills (2-4) last week after spending several seasons backing up Cam Newton with the Carolina Panthers.
Josh Allen – Noteworthy – Injury
QB Josh Allen did not practice, and his injured elbow was in a brace. He is expected to be out at least a month.
Kelvin Benjamin – Noteworthy
WR Kelvin Benjamin played only 71 percent of the offensive snaps and made just two catches for 43 yards, though one went for 39 yards.
Matt Milano – Noteworthy
LB Matt Milano played every defensive snap in Houston and it’s clear that the coaching staff has come to see his value. He was in on seven tackles and he had a huge pass breakup late in the game that prevented a go-ahead Texans touchdown.
Micah Hyde – Noteworthy
SS Micah Hyde had to be used as the punt returner after rookie Ray Ray McCloud lost an early fumble that set up a Texans touchdown.
Robert Foster – Noteworthy
WR Robert Foster was active, but he has had a difficult time adapting to the NFL game and he played only two snaps on offense.
TreDavious White – Noteworthy
CB Tre’Davious White had another excellent game. He did get nailed for a pair of holding penalties, but otherwise, he shut down DeAndre Hopkins, holding him to two catches for 23 yards when he was in coverage. One of those catches, though, was a brilliant TD reception by Hopkins despite blanket coverage.
