Training camp had already exposed cracks in the Bills’ roster, raising questions about depth and durability. Injuries kept piling up at lightning speed. But now, HC Sean McDermott just received a double dose of good news regarding injured players, which should give the Bills Mafia some hope to breathe easier.
According to sources, Bills center Connor McGovern, who had tweaked his hamstring during a practice session at camp, revealed that he was only sidelined as a precaution. McGovern has even insisted that he would have played now if it had been a regular-season game. That’s a promising sign for an O-line already under the microscope.
Bills center Connor McGovern said that he tweaked his hamstring in Friday’s practice, so he was held out as a precaution. Said he was feeling good and would have played (or in preseason terms warmed) up if it was the regular season.

Adding to that good news, cornerback Jordan Hancock calmed fears after exiting the recent preseason game against the Bears with a shoulder injury. Hancock, who stood out with a game-high 8 tackles, confirmed that he’s “feeling pretty good.” His return would be a huge lift for Sean McDermott, especially after his defense failed to step up against Chicago.
The Bills’ head coach didn’t hide his frustration after the 38-0 loss to the Bears. Post-game, Sean McDermott revealed to the reporters that he expected the players to seize the opportunity in preseason action, but he “didn’t sense that.” Could this spark roster shake-ups before Week 1?
This story is still developing. Stay tuned for more updates…
