Overview
- The Buffalo Bills host the Pittsburgh Steelers at Highmark Stadium at 7 p.m. Thursday and Josh Allen will be inactive but is expected on the sideline and may help call plays during the game.
- Head coach Joe Brady said some starters will receive limited snaps tonight so coaches can get extra looks at impact players without exposing key veterans to full game risk.
- Coaches plan to use the finale to judge position battles that could determine roster spots, notably the left guard competition between Alec Anderson and Austin Corbett and the backup QB contest between Kyle Allen and Shane Buechele.
- Rookie lineman Jude Bowry’s lower‑leg injury remains unresolved after he left a recent game and practiced in a boot, creating a developing availability question ahead of final cuts.
- Off the field, Allen announced a relaunch of his scholarship partnership with Wonderful Pistachios and publicly backed teammate Ed Oliver following Oliver’s family tragedy, underscoring the team’s recent personal and community matters as roster choices approach.
