Bills vs. Titans injury update: Buffalo gets two starters back, bad news for Tennessee
Something happened for the first time this season at a Buffalo Bills practice. Everyone on the team practiced in some capacity Wednesday.
It was a walk-through session but there were no DNPs on the injury report.
However, DaQuan Jones did not practice on Thursday after a limited practice on Wednesday.
The Bills have been beleaguered by injures all year.
Running back James Cook popped up on the injury report last week and, along with defensive tackle Ed Oliver, missed the 23-20 win over the New York Jets in Week 6. Buffalo got back wide receiver Khalil Shakir, nickel back Taron Jones and safety Taylor Rapp in that game.
Buffalo has a short week and hosts the Tennessee Titans at 1 p.m. Sunday.
In addition to injuries, edge rusher Von Miller is serving a four-game suspension.
NFL teams have to submit a report on practice participation on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday for a Sunday game. There are three levels of practice participation that can be designated: did not participate, limited participation and full participation.
A game status report is due by 5 p.m. Friday for Sunday games.
Here is the Bills vs. Titans injury report for Week 7:
