One new face for the Bills defense was a fresh addition to the team’s injury report on Wednesday.
As the Bills took the field for the third time in Orchard Park for padded practice, defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson was a new named added to the team’s injury report via head coach Sean McDermott prior to practice.
The coach described the situation as “foot soreness” keeping him sidelined. But as Bills injury analyst Banged Up Bills via Buffalo Rumblings points out, Jefferson is no stranger to such injuries. As a member of the Seahawks last season, Jefferson suffered an ankle injury during last year’s playoff run with Seattle which required offseason surgery in January.
More new injury notes from McDermott on Wednesday included some positive updates. Wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins was not mentioned by the coach to be wearing a red non-contact jersey during practice like he did so on Tuesday, so his health might have improved. The team’s other rookie wideout, Gabriel Davis, was not mentioned to be out of practice Wednesday after missing one day due to a leg contusion.
Here’s the rest of the carryovers from the Bills’ injury report:

- DT Ed Oliver (hip)
- FB Patrick DiMarco (neck soreness)
- WR Robert Foster (concussion)
Non-contact jersey
- LB Vosean Joseph
