The Buffalo Bills were back on the practice field and the initial report has plenty of positives.

The Buffalo Bills were back on the practice field two days after their first loss of the season, which was a 42-16 defeat to the Tennessee Titans. The Bills entered that game without a number of their starters that included All-Pro Tre’Davious White, starting wide receiver John Brown, running back Zack Moss and starting linebacker Matt Milano.

The good news for the Buffalo Bills is that all were able to practice in some capacity. This included John Brown and Zack Moss practicing in full while Matt Milano and Tre’Davious White were limited on Thursday.

While this doesn’t guarantee that they will be ready to go for Monday night’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs, this is a great sign. If they are not able to play then the team will once again look to linebacker Tyrel Dodson and cornerback Cam Lewis to start once again.

Another player not previously mentioned was Quinton Spain, who was a surprise inactive due to a foot injury prior to the Titans game. The foot injury doesn’t appear to be a lingering issue as he was able to practice in full on Thursday.

The Bills also only had one player that missed practice entirely which was Dawson Knox. The team’s starting tight end left the game early against the Tennessee Titans after only one catch for 15 yards.

If Knox is not able to play this would be his second game missed this year and will give veteran Tyler Kroft another opportunity to start. Kroft had an excellent game the last time he started, which was against the Los Angeles Rams. In that game, Kroft caught two touchdown passes including one in the final 30 seconds of the game.

The Buffalo Bills will have two more practices on Friday and Saturday ahead of their game on Monday night against the Kansas City Chiefs at 5 PM.
