Bills head coach Sean McDermott ruled a couple of players out for Saturday’s game against the Bears.

McDermott said on WGR 55o that center Mitch Morse (https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/8759/mitch-morse) and defensive end Boogie Basham will not be in the lineup this weekend. The team’s full list of injury designations will be released later on Thursday.

That sucks.

I figured Mitch would be out for this game. Hopefully that's it.

Boogie is basically out most weekends, barely does anything lol.

Greg Van Roten (https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/1120/greg-van-roten) moved to center last weekend with David Quessenberry (https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/7996/david-quessenberry) filling in at right guard. Ryan Bates (https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/51760/ryan-bates) is the usual right guard, but he was out with an ankle injury. Bates was a full participant in practice Wednesday.

*************************************************************

These guys did a pretty good job filling in last weekend and it looks like we'll be needing at least Greg Van Roten once more, hopefully Bates can be a full go for Saturday.

Bates needs to be at center. He might have to fill that role going forward, and not just the remainder of this season.

Damn.

[Woodman]

It's gonna be like this until he retires.

He's got a wife and kids, I'll miss the player, but hopefully the person hangs up his cleats for their sake.

I'm hoping it was mild. I'll leave it up to him what he wants to do with the remainder of his career.

And the irony of bringing up Basham is the Bills could have taken Creed Humphrey instead and let Morse ride off into the sunset last year.

[Woodman]

We missed out on Creed still can't believe that one.

IDK if this was mentioned in another thread, but Morse cleared the concussion protocol and was back at practice today. Yay!

yes it was ..... great news!

[Goobylal]

I'm mostly happy for his health. A 6th concussion could be debilitating.

And Bates did a great job filling in for him. He will be his replacement next year and beyond. Which means the Bills need to find new OGs.

[Mad Max]

That’s interesting since he was full practice.

It’s best for him though, probably best that he doesn’t play another game and hangs it up (unlikely I know)

Hand the keys to Bates now.

oops. Looks like this article referred to last week not this week. (Still think the guy should retire)

[Forward_Lateral]

Can we maybe stop bumping a thread from LAST WEEK, that says Morse is out?
