Your Buffalo Bills take the fieldturf at Highmark Stadium this afternoon for a 1 p.m. EDT scrimmage against the Carolina Panthers to wrap up the 2024 NFL preseason. Quarterback Josh Allen will be absent entirely this afternoon, given an excused absence that takes him away from Orchard Park, NY.
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters early in the week that Buffalo’s starters wouldn’t play in today’s game. That means aside from key special teams contributors, today’s affair will feature a near-exclusive dose of Bills backups and roster hopefuls trying to make one last good impression ahead of the 2024 NFL regular season.
