In the latest news from the Buffalo Bills training camp, wide receiver Bryan Thompson has been waived/injured, adding to the team’s injury woes. This comes after quarterback Shane Buechele suffered a neck injury during the Bills’ crushing 33-6 loss to the Chicago Bears over the weekend.
Buechele, who was injured during the blowout defeat, managed to complete 6-of-10 passes for 53 yards with an interception. He also contributed 22 rushing yards on three carries, but was sacked six times by the Bears’ defense. The young quarterback’s performance was cut short due to his injury, adding more uncertainty to the Bills’ quarterback situation.
In addition to Buechele’s injury, wideout Bryan Thompson also suffered a hamstring injury during the preseason loss. Despite playing just eight snaps in the game, Thompson was not targeted in the passing game before being sidelined with the injury.
The team made some roster moves to address the recent injuries, including signing wide receiver Deon Cain. The 28-year-old former sixth-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts brings some much-needed experience to the Bills’ receiving corps. Cain has nine catches for 124 yards in his NFL career, with all of them coming during the 2019 season. This signing provides the Bills with depth at the wide receiver position as they look to fill the void left by the injured Thompson.
The Bills’ training camp has been marred by injuries, with players like Buechele and Thompson going down with various ailments. Despite these setbacks, the team remains focused on the upcoming season and working towards getting healthy before the start of the regular season.
In other news, there was a correction to a previous article regarding injured players. The editorial team clarified that injured players like Claypool would need to be carried through roster cuts and appear on the initial 53-man roster in late August in order to be eligible to return later in the season. This clarification sheds light on the process of bringing injured players back from injured reserve and the criteria that need to be met for them to return to action.
The Buffalo Bills continue to navigate through the challenges of training camp, with injuries impacting key players and the team making adjustments to their roster in response to these setbacks. As the regular season approaches, the Bills are looking to regroup and put their best foot forward as they prepare for the upcoming season.
