Bills and Saints Utilize Bye for Key Returns

The Buffalo Bills are poised to benefit greatly from their Week 12 bye as they prepare to face the San Francisco 49ers on December 1. Key players, tight end Dalton Kincaid and wide receiver Keon Coleman, are expected to return after recovering from knee and wrist injuries, respectively, which are not considered long-term issues. The team is also optimistic about the return of linebacker Matt Milano from a torn bicep and defensive tackle DeWayne Carter from injured reserve. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints enter their bye week on a positive note after a two-game winning streak and hope to regain some players for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams, though wideouts Chris Olave and Bub Means, along with running back Kendre Miller, remain on injured reserve. The Atlanta Falcons also aim to heal during their bye, with potential returns for safety DeMarcco Hellams and rookie defensive tackle Ruke Orhorhoro expected soon. These teams all look to use the bye week to rest and recover, setting the stage for a stronger performance in the latter part of the season.
