The Buffalo Bills may be resting some key players in their regular season finale Sunday against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium.
One of those players, linebacker Terrel Bernard, will not play, according to head coach Sean McDermott, as he deals with a quad injury.
Bernard was the only player on the active roster who did not practice during the team’s walk-through on Wednesday. McDermott says he is between day-to-day and week-to-week, but added “more like” day-to-day.
Lancaster native and University at Buffalo product Joe Andreessen will most likely start at middle linebacker, and see the majority of playing time in Bernard’s absence. McDermott says Andreessen “will play quite a bit this week.”
The Bills have the AFC’s No. 2 seed locked up. The result of the game will not change their status.
