Bills' Cam Lewis: Sees increased snaps sans Johnson
Lewis finished Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals with 10 tackles (seven solo).
Lewis saw increased action at nickel corner after Taron Johnson left in the first quarter of Sunday's game due to a forearm injury. Lewis took advantage of the extra playing time, and he finished second on the Bills in both combined and solo tackles behind linebacker Terrel Bernard. Johnson has already been ruled out for Week 2 against the Dolphins on Thursday, and Lewis will likely serve as the Bills' nickel corner for that contest.

Bills' Greg Rousseau: Has monster start to year
Rousseau recorded six tackles (six solo) including 3.0 sacks and a forced fumble during Sunday's 34-28 win versus the Cardinals.
One of his sacks in Week 1 came on a foot race to the sideline with Kyler Murray, whose exceptional speed Rousseau was basically able to match after shedding right tackle Jonah Williams (knee). It's a dynamite start for a player looking for the first double-digit sack season of his career. He'll be pursuing Tua Tagovailoa when the Bills trek to Miami in Week 2.

Bills' Ty Johnson: Limited Monday
Johnson (knee) was listed as a limited participant in Monday's practice estimate, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson exited Buffalo's Week 1 affair with a knee injury, but it appears he still has a chance to suit up Thursday night. The 26-year-old running back's practice participation will be something to look out for as the week progresses. If he's unable to go in Week 2, James Cook and Ray Davis are expected to assume all of Buffalo's work in the backfield.

Bills' Dawuane Smoot: Likely missing Week 2
Head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Monday that Smoot (toe) is trending towards not playing in Thursday night's matchup with the Dolphins, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Smoot was unable to suit up for the Bills' Week 1 win over the Cardinals ,and it now appears his toe issue could hold him out for the second consecutive game Thursday. If Smoot is unable to go in Week 2, expect Von Miller and Casey Toohill to see increased work as rotational pass rushers.

Bills' Taron Johnson: Ruled out for Week 2
Johnson (foreman) will not play Thursday against the Dolphins, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
Johnson left Sunday's win over the Cardinals early and was unable to return. It's not clear how much time the Weber state product may miss and if his quick status update is just a result of the short week or a more significant injury. In his absence, Cam Lewis took over the slot corner duties Sunday and will likely do so again in Miami.

Bills' Josh Allen: Cleared to practice, play Thursday
Coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Allen (hand) has been cleared to practice and suit up for Thursday's game against the Dolphins, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
Allen injured his left, non-throwing hand while making a leaping rushing touchdown during Sunday's win over the Cardinals, but the issue won't impact his ability to get on the field Week 2. The star quarterback got off to a slow start Week 1 against Arizona, even losing a fumble on Buffalo's first drive, but he ended the day with two touchdown passes to Mack Hollins and Khalil Shakir, in addition to two rushing scores of his own. Allen will look to remain sharp while adjusting to his new group of skill-position players during Thursday's road divisional matchup.

Bills' Josh Allen: Not worried about hand injury
Allen (hand) said after Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals that his left hand felt fine, but he's still scheduled to undergo further testing, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
Allen landed hard on his non-throwing hand during the fourth quarter of Sunday's narrow win over Arizona. Though the star quarterback downplayed the issue, it will be closely monitored with Buffalo scheduled for only a few days rest prior to taking on the Dolphins on Thursday Night Football in Week 2. The Bills will release an official injury report Monday, and the team also should announce the results of Allen's medical tests soon. Mitchell Trubisky is healthy and ready to step in if necessary, but at this stage it doesn't seem as though Allen will be forced to miss the AFC East divisional clash against Miami.

Bills' Terrel Bernard: Tackling machine in Week 1 victory
Bernard led the Bills with 11 total tackles in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Bernard posted a whopping 143 tackles last season, his first as a starter, and he's picked right up where he left off. With Matt Milano out for a good chunk of the season with a biceps injury, it would be a surprise if Bernard didn't lead the Bills in tackles, barring injury, and perhaps by a good margin. He's become a leader of this defense in just his third season and could end up being one of the league's better IDPs in 2024 if your format places a heavy weighting on tackles.

Bills' Tyler Bass: Perfect in victory
Bass made all four extra-point attempts and two field goals in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Bass didn't miss Sunday, first connecting on a 37-yard FGA and then a 39-yarder in the final minutes that extended the Bills lead to 6. With four successful PATs included, it was a perfect Week 1 for the veteran kicker. Next up for Bass and the Bills is a divisional matchup Thursday against the Dolphins.

Bills' Khalil Shakir: Scores TD in first game post-Diggs
Shakir caught all three of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Shakir made an athletic play on his 11-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter, rolling over a defender's body while avoiding being touched down to get across the goal line. The 24-year-old wide receiver has a chance to become the top option for Josh Allen after the Bills traded away Stefon Diggs in the offseason, but Shakir finished second on the team in both targets and receiving yards to rookie Keon Coleman, who caught four of his five targets for 51 yards in his NFL debut. Buffalo primarily leaned on its ground game in the season opener, but the Bills may opt to air it out more Thursday in Miami.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Team's leading receiver in debut
Coleman caught four of five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Coleman led the team in targets and receiving yards in his NFL debut, but the rookie second-round pick was held out of the end zone while fellow Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins both scored touchdowns. Most of Coleman's yardage came on a 28-yard contested catch in the fourth quarter, which got the ball down to the six-yard line and set up quarterback Josh Allen's second rushing touchdown of the game. Coleman and the Bills will have a short turnaround before facing the Dolphins in Miami on Thursday.

Bills' Dalton Kincaid: Just one catch Week 1
Kincaid caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Kincaid was expected to take on a larger role in Buffalo's passing game after the team traded away top receiver Stefon Diggs in the offseason, but the tight end was quiet to begin his second NFL season. Fellow tight end Dawson Knox also got two targets, catching one for 23 yards. Buffalo had 33 running plays compared to just 23 throws for Josh Allen, so a lack of volume could be a concern for Kincaid moving forward if he continues to split opportunities with Knox and the Bills keep calling a run-heavy offense. The 2023 first-round draft pick will look to bounce back Thursday in Miami.

Bills' James Cook: Posts 103 total yards in opener
Cook rushed 19 times for 71 yards and caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
The Bills went with a run-heavy approach, but Josh Allen scored both of the team's rushing touchdowns while also throwing a pair. The 237-pound quarterback vulturing touchdowns is nothing new for Cook, as Cook had just two rushing touchdowns to Allen's 15 in the 2023 regular season. Heading into Thursday's road game against the Dolphins, Cook is the clear lead back in Buffalo over rookie fourth-round draft pick Ray Davis and Ty Johnson (knee), who combined for just five carries and two targets in the season-opening win, with the latter exiting due to an injury.
