Bills TE Dalton Kincaid was on the practice field in a non-contact jersey, so good chance he'll be listed as limited Thursday. He was not mentioned by Sean McDermott ahead of practice.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said injured reserve is not a consideration at this point for LB Matt Milano, from what he's been told. Milano is week to week with a pectoral injury.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said "we expect more" and that Keon Coleman has shown growth this year, but they want consistency. The disciplinary action stemmed from something during the practice week.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said WR Keon Coleman did not play in the first offensive series for disciplinary reasons. It was a coaches decision.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said rookie CB Dorian Strong will see a specialist for his neck injury. McDermott said nothing can be ruled out at this point, including shutting Strong down for the year, but added it's still early. Strong was placed on IR Saturday.

Bills HC Sean McDermott said they are "hopeful" for DT Ed Oliver this week against the Falcons. LB Matt Milano is "week-to-week" with the pectoral injury. DT T.J. Sanders is not yet ruled out for the game, but they are taking it day by day.

On a night where the Bills could have made a statement to the NFL, they sputtered and were outplayed during a disjointed effort.

To put it bluntly, the Bills were out-Bills'd by an up-and-coming Patriots team.

Disjointed Bills can’t get back on script in surprising loss to Patriots

Josh Allen: "It was a pretty pivotal game in terms of what we could have done with this. And we didn't take advantage of our opportunity."

Still no Matt Milano in the second defensive series. He's just standing on the sidelines. Officially questionable to return with the pectoral injury, but it doesn't appear there's any urgency on the sidelines to get him back at the moment.

10. You're damn right. It's ready for Mitch Wishnowsky's debut

9. I'll guess somewhere between 15-20 snap, with Javon Solomon going back to a ST only role unless the game goes into garbage time.

8. My guess is they'll work him back in slowly. In on base and 3rd and short, and possibly out on 3rd and long to pave the way for their dime look

7. Picking only one is legitimately horrible. I suppose I'll go with broccoli in all of its forms.

3. They have really only kept three up for game day this entire season. If it gets to that point, I'd guess Cam Lewis is probably the next man up.

6. Phillips was not at practice at all this week. Excused for a personal matter.

5. He's likely a low snap one-technique. They are really shorthanded this evening. All four of their DTs play 1T as their primary position. DaQuan Jones will be playing a lot of 3T, I think.

4. Special teams, and special teams only. But he'll play a lot of them tonight. Likely a core four ST guy tonight.
