Bills S Aaron Williams who left Sunday’s game late with concussion-like symptoms is going to be put through the league’s concussion protocol by the club.

That according to head coach Doug Marrone. For those who are unfamiliar with the concussion protocol it does not operate on a calendar like the NHL protocol. So there isn’t a timetable where for example, a player has to be symptom free for a week or some other time frame. Here are some details on how things work.

Why is Meeks still on this roster when a guy like Ladler is on the PS? Just saving face because they drafted Meeks for no apparent reason?? Dude's been hurt for 2 yrs. This FO is so stupid and annoying ugh...

There is that.

It's uncanny how long that's been so. I can't recall the last time another team plucked a player off of a BUF practice squad roster.
