Buffalo Bills exclude Cole Beasley

ORCHARD PARK, NY – The Buffalo Bills have ruled out wide receiver Cole Beasley for Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins, a result of the knee injury he sustained against the New England Patriots in week 16.

Beasley, the team’s second leader, left Buffalo’s victory over New England late in the fourth quarter and did not return. Coach Sean McDermott called Beasley ‘week by week’. The Bills will host their first playoff game in 25 years next weekend.

In his sophomore year with the Bills, Beasley has made career highs with 967 yards and 82 catches on 107 goals. If he lost it for an extended period of time, Buffalo would be left without his top slot receiver, but the Bills activated wide receiver John Brown from the reserve / COVID-19 list on Friday.

The Houston Chronicle first reported that Buffalo will sign wide receiver Kenny Stills once he clears COVID-19 protocols, but McDermott cited the Bills’ interest in Stills that had nothing to do with Beasley’s injury.
