Some key injuries to tell you about in this game and we will get to all of that. Plus pick the game. That's coming your way just a little bit later in our G stadium. Jeremy Fowler is with us, and we've got a lot to get to. As I said, Jeremy, the bills entering tonight's game, missing a couple key pieces on that offense. What do we need to know? Laura, the bills are thin at the receiver

playmaking positions. Tight-end Dalton Kincaid is out. Wide receiver Curtis Samuel out. McCall

0:44.9

Hardman out so they could move up Gabe Davis, the veteran from the practice squad.

0:49.1

Also, Keon Coleman could be benched for the second consecutive week. Head coach Sean McDermott

must make that determination before game time. And so very thin in that area. You can see the running backs. James Cook and third downback, Ty Johnson, more involved in the passing game. They had big gains last week against the bucks with those two running the screens, trying to get them involved because the bills are trying to sustain drives. They know they're really beat up on defense with a lot of different lineups, so they want longer drives. So you're going to see those running backs in the passing game, and then they're going to have to press the number 17 button when they need it for Josh Allen to bail them out with his legs. Expect him to run a decent amount. They don't want to overuse that, but through the course of a week when they're depleted, they're going to need to. But either way, the pass rush for the Texans is coming,

1:31.9

Laura, DeNeal Hunter, Will Anderson, Jr. probably the best duo in the league. I spoke with Hunter

1:36.6

recently about this game and how the bills might play him. He said, if they try to chip block me,

1:41.5

I eat chips for breakfast. Oh, that's a great line. Jeremy, really interesting stuff. Keep an eye on that Keon Coleman situation. It'd be pretty interesting to see when active and inactive's come out. James Cook, by the way, already with over 200 touches this season, one of only five players who can say that. And look at this. The driving force behind this Texans team has been their defense that Jeremy was just referencing tops in the league in points per game, yards per game, also allowing the second fewest yards per play. All of those franchise records through 10 games of the season. We're all here today. We got Dan Orlovsky, Peter Schrager, Jason McCordy, boys a lot to to get to. Adam Schaefter. We'll join us a little bit later with some news.

2:19.4

Peter, we just heard about all the injuries for the Bill's pass catchers, plus the Keon Coleman situation if he ends up being benched again in this game. What does it mean for tonight? Well, what do we know? We know that there's no true number one wide receiver. We know there's probably no number two receiver. We also know

2:34.2

there's no McCull Hardman. We know there's no Curtis Samuel. And we might not have the guy

2:40.1

Keon Coleman who they drafted the second round and had a healthy scratch last week. So what's that

2:43.7

mean? Everyone else has to step up. And everyone else to do this again week after week.

2:48.0

Take a look last week in a game where they scored 44 points.

2:52.9

The amount of players who had targets and the names were relying on guys like Dawson Knox

2:59.6

to have three big plays. Gabe Davis, who was off the team and on the practice squad. Again,

3:04.3

we don't know if Keon Coleman's going to dress tonight. He was a healthy scratch last week. It's a short week. They might need him to dress, even if they wanted to make

3:10.0

a disciplinary action. We don't know if Gabe Davis is going to dress. We imagine he will, even if
