Hello everyone, my name is Evan. Thanks for joining me for some Bills action versus the Tennessee Titans.
Buffalo comes into this game 4-2, after a tight win against the New York Jets. Since that game, the Bills roster has grown much stronger. Even though running back, Ray Davis had a strong performance last week, James Cook is set to play after recovering from a toe injury sustained in Week 5.
Additionally, the Bills acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper early this week from the Cleveland Browns. Despite having minimal time to get incorporated into this offensive scheme, the Bills may rely heavily on the new receiver in the coming weeks.
Tennessee has seen its own fair share of changes, as they will replace former 2nd round pick Will Levis with Mason Rudolph.
Tennessee will also be without running back Tyjae Spears and corner L’Jarius Sneed.
