One week ago, I left for vacation as the Buffalo Bills and Chicago Bears met in a preseason game. The Bears played some key starters. The Bills did not. Buffalo came out on top in convincing fashion, winning 41-15. The result means absolutely nothing. What does matter, though, is that the Bills suffered plenty of injury concerns in that contest.
Of Buffalo’s eleven presumed offensive starters (I’m counting the “11” package—three wideouts, one tight end, one running back—as the starting group), only five played: Dawson Knox, Dion Dawkins, Jon Feliciano, Cody Ford, and Devin Singletary.
