Bills rule out Lotulelei vs Steelers; Sanders questionable

The Buffalo Bills have ruled out starting defensive tackle Star Lotulelei from their season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday

SEPTEMBER 10, 2021 • Associated Press

Questionable for Week 1 Sanders (foot) will be limited at practice Friday and listed as questionable for Sunday's season opener against the Steelers, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Fortunately for those considering Sanders in Week 1 lineups, the Bills kick off at 1:00 p.m. ET on Sunday. If the team's No. 2 receiver is limited or out this weekend, Gabriel Davis would be in line for added opportunities in a wideout corps headed by Stefon Diggs that also features slot man Cole Beasley.

Listed as limited again Sanders (foot) is listed as a limited participant for the second straight day Thursday on the team's estimated practice report.

Impact We'd be very surprised if the veteran receiver and No. 2 receiver is unable to suit up for his Bills debut against the Steelers, though a full practice Friday would give everyone rostering Sanders in Week 1 a little more comfortability in starting him.

Limited Wednesday Sanders was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a foot injury.

Impact This has been lingering for the veteran since the beginning of August and his limited participation Wednesday could be more health management at this point, as the Bills are prone to do with senior players. We'll see if Sanders is able to practice fully Thursday or Friday, at which point he'll be a safe bet to make his Bills debut Sunday against the Steelers.

Targeted eight times Sanders caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in the first half of Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay.

Impact Stefon Diggs (knee) didn't play, and the Bills came out with a pass-heavy gameplan that allowed Josh Allen to throw 26 passes on three drives (including eight to Sanders, five to Gabriel Davis and five to Cole Beasley). The throws to Davis and Beasley were more productive Saturday afternoon, but it's nonetheless interesting to see how frequently Sanders was targeted. Of course, Diggs should be back for Week 1 against Pittsburgh, coming off a 2021 campaign with 29 percent target share and a league-high 1,535 receiving yards. Diggs is the sure thing, while the division of snaps/targets between Sanders, Davis and Beasley will need to be monitored throughout the year.

Should make Buffalo debut Saturday Sanders (foot) is likely to play in Saturday's preseason finale against the Packers, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Signed as a free agent during the offseason to take over for departed stater John Brown, a foot injury has cost Sanders some time getting familiar with the high-powered Buffalo offense. With Josh Allen scheduled to play at least a series or two, we imagine coach Sean McDermott would like to see his veteran receiver get at least a lick of game action with his new quarterback ahead of the Week 1 opener against the Steelers. The Bills have stated they intend to give most of the starters some amount of game action Saturday.

Not in line to play Saturday Sanders (foot) is not in uniform for Saturday's preseason game against the Bears, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

Impact The same applies to fellow key wideout Stefon Diggs, who is dealing with a knee issue. As far as Sanders is concerned, he's been managing a foot injury of late, per Matthew Fairburn and Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, so it appears as though he's being held out Saturday for precautionary reasons.

Back to practice Sanders (foot) returned to practice Monday, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact The veteran now can resume getting to work familiarizing himself with quarterback Josh Allen and a new offense. Sanders is bound to get plenty of looks during practice in the near term while Stefon Diggs rests a knee injury. Diggs, Cole Beasley, Sanders and Gabriel Davis are expected to form the Bills' main receiving corps this season.

AUGUST 9, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Misses Saturday's session Sanders did not practice Saturday due to a foot injury, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

Impact Sanders reportedly practiced in limited fashion Friday, so perhaps the Bills are just managing the injury for a veteran player certain to make the team.

AUGUST 7, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Back in limited fashion Sanders (foot) was able to do some positional work during Friday's practice, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Impact While this doesn't clear Sanders completely yet, it affirms this shouldn't be a serious injury and he should have plenty of time to get up to speed with his new teammates.

Dealing with foot injury Sanders missed Thursday's practice with a foot injury, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports that Sanders got hurt during the previous practice but then rejoined the session after a brief absence. He'll now miss at least one day, and likely more than that, though the injury doesn't sound too serious.
