Team news: Buffalo Bills | Page 31

When it comes to the Bears’ quarterback situation and who plays next against the Lions at Soldier Field on Sunday, don’t be surprised if coach Matt Nagy plays it out all week as he tried to do last week.

This week should include some legitimate intrigue. Nick Foles has a chance to practice in some capacity as his hip improves, while Mitch Trubisky seemingly did enough for the Bears to seriously consider giving him another start.

The story makes points on why both QBs could end up the starter. The author said Foles might not start against the Lions but we probably haven't seen the last of him this season. The Bears are desperate for wins and that might mean another quarterback switch is needed. So there could be a short leash for Trubisky.

In a game where the Bills struggled to move the ball through the air, rookie Gabriel Davis was one of the lone bright spots. His highlight-reel 44-yard reception showed that he can make difficult catches in contested situations and can be a dependable, field-stretching target for Josh Allen.

With Brown now on the IR, Davis has a chance to step up. The story also went on to say the Bills could save over $8 million by releasing Brown (who turns 31 in April) in the offseason, one that’s expected to be cap-strapped. The only reason they would do that is if they knew they had a solid X-receiver player to replace Brown, which is where Davis comes into play.

Overall, the Bills revived their run game Sunday. But at what cost? The Bills are at their best on offense when throwing the ball and making the attack run through Josh Allen, and it never seemed in sync Sunday. Allen never got on the same page with Stefon Diggs except for some forced short-yardage targets. Cole Beasley was essentially a non-factor other than his touchdown throw.

The author added you never want to take away the best part of your own offense, and that’s what the Bills appeared to do Sunday. The Bills can still be an impactful running team without having a balanced approach. The story also said it’s all about the timing of run calls and the effectiveness of them and the run game likely will not be the reason the Bills have success in the playoffs. While it's just the author's view and the Bills may see things different, it's perhaps something to keep in mind, especially if you're a Moss or Singletary owner.

Bears QB Nick Foles is doubtful to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Mitch Trubisky does not carry an injury designation and is expected to start.

Trubisky time in Chicago. The fourth-year QB is playing for a new contract with any team that wants him, so expect him to play with the reckless abandon we love to see.

Jets rookie RB La’Mical Perine has a high ankle sprain.

The tweet went on to say Perine will miss some time. High ankle sprains are generally a multiple-week injury and it's possible Perine ends up on the IR depending on how serious the injury is. Look for the veteran Gore to take over with Johnson and Adams possibly also in the mix.

Schefter said Bears’ HC Matt Nagy declined to name a starter for Sunday’s game in Green Bay, saying a QB change is still "on the table," according to Schefter's tweet. If neither QB can go, it would be Bray's job against Green Bay in Week 12.

NFL Network reported Tuesday morning that initial tests on Nick Foles' hip indicated he did not fracture it and the injury might not be as serious as it looked.

Foles will have more tests done, but the hope is he escaped serious injury. Trubisky is battling a shoulder injury and it's unclear if he'll be ready for Week 12 at this point, after the Bears have a bye in Week 11. If he can't go, Bray could get the start but would present a huge fantasy downgrade for an already struggling offense.

Matt Nagy said Nick Foles is being evaluated for a hip or leg injury: "I hope he's okay but he was in a lot of pain."

In other tweets from Maske, he said Nagy believes it's possible that Trubisky will be ready to return from his shoulder injury after the Bears' bye week, but he doesn't know that for certain. It's possible we won't know Trubisky's status until well into next week. Bray looked shaky in his limited time and would be a downgrade for a Bears offense that's struggling to begin with.
