Bills Monitor Injuries Amid 3-0 Start

The Buffalo Bills have started 3-0, ranking first in the NFL with 1,260 offensive yards through three games while their defense sits ninth in yards allowed. Rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston remains sidelined after a training-camp knee sprain, was seen rehabbing in a brace, and coach Sean McDermott said he is moving in the right direction but offered a cautious when-and-if timeline for a return. The team is also monitoring injuries to Ed Oliver, Matt Milano, Spencer Brown (calf; missed practice, with Chase Lundt a possible fill-in) and A.J. Epenesa. Despite those uncertainties, the Bills’ offense has protected Josh Allen well, with only four sacks through three games. The Bills have been linked in trade rumors to Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, though analysts say a trade is unlikely; Hill missed a Saturday practice for personal reasons but is expected to play Monday. Veteran lineman David Edwards has revived his career in Buffalo, taking on a selfless role that has included tight end work in jumbo packages.
