Bracing for a blizzard warning with the potential to bring "historical snowfall" to Western New York in the next four days, the Buffalo Bills canceled practice on Wednesday due to an illness-related player shortage.
Head coach Sean McDermott would not divulge specifics regarding the illness but had to change his practice plan due to limited player availability. The Bills went from a full practice and team workout on the field to individual and position work with those available and healthy.
While quarterback Josh Allen (elbow) and safety Jordan Poyer (elbow) were among players who participated, McDermott summarized his team didn't have enough bodies for a normal practice.
