While McDermott didn’t get into specifics when addressing the matter of how much playing time Josh Allen and Buffalo’s starters will get vs. the Denver Broncos on Saturday, it seems apparent that Buffalo plans on treating its second preseason game as the dress rehearsal game in advance of the 2022 regular season. Whether that means edge rusher Von Miller makes his Bills debut against the team that drafted him 11 years ago remains to be seen.

Luke Knox, Dawson’s younger brother, passes away

Florida International football player Luke Knox, the younger brother of Bills tight end Dawson Knox, died Thursday at the age of 22. The cause of death was not immediately provided.
