Breaking: Bills Backup QB to Miss Extended Time with Neck Injury; WRs Return to Practice

Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott revealed on Monday that third-string quarterback Shane Buechele is anticipated to miss an extended period due to a neck injury sustained during Saturday’s preseason opener against the Chicago Bears.

Buechele, who played the majority of the second half in the Bills’ 33-6 loss, faced a challenging outing. He was sacked six times and threw a pick-six interception, contributing to Chicago’s decisive victory. His injury is a significant blow to the Bills as they navigate through the preseason.

As the team shifts focus to preparing for their upcoming game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Buechele joins several other Buffalo players who will not be participating in practice on Monday. The loss of Buechele could impact the team’s quarterback depth, prompting potential adjustments as the Bills look to finalize their roster ahead of the regular season.
