Preseason Notebook

There hasn’t been any down time for the Bills in recent weeks. Here’s a quick recap of everything that took place shortly before press time.

Taylor injured vs. Ravens

Buffalo’s third week of the preseason quickly turned from bad to worse against the Baltimore Ravens on Aug. 26. Starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor suffered a concussion on Buffalo’s second offensive series of the game and did not return.

After being sacked by Ravens linebacker Matthew Judon, Taylor’s head snapped back and slammed against the ground. He was examined by trainers before making his way back to the locker room.

It capped yet another disappointing preseason performance for Taylor, who finished the game with a stat line of 1 of 3 passes for 1 yard.

“He’s in the protocol at this point so nothing further at this time,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said of Taylor after the game.

Dareus disciplined for breaking team rule

Marcell Dareus is back in the news again and not for the right reasons.

For the second year in a row, Dareus was sent home before a preseason game and did not play. Prior to Buffalo’s preseason game against the Ravens, Dareus was sent back to Buffalo after breaking a team rule.

The team declined to elaborate on this exact nature of the team violation, but Bills general manager Brandon Beane did say it was a team matter.
