The Buffalo Bills are already strategizing for the 2025 NFL season despite the current season not being over. Currently, the team is in a challenging salary cap situation, with only $1 million under the cap and significant dead money. However, projections suggest they could have over $9.4 million in cap space for 2025.

Key players like Amari Cooper, Rasul Douglas, Damar Hamlin, Ryan Van Demark, and Alec Anderson are set to become free agents, and retaining them will be crucial for the team's continuity and success moving forward.

The Buffalo Bills are optimistic about the return of several injured players, including former All-Pro linebacker Matt Milano. The team has opened 21-day practice windows for rookies Tylan Grable and DeWayne Carter, who have been on injured reserve since September and October, respectively.

Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed the news during a media session. Grable, a sixth-round pick, suffered an abdominal injury in Week 3, while Carter had wrist surgery after a Week 7 game. Both players are expected to contribute soon, with Grable's return being particularly noteworthy as he had been performing well before his injury.

The Buffalo Bills showcased their depth in the offensive line during their Week 11 game against the Kansas City Chiefs, despite starting right tackle Spencer Brown being sidelined due to an ankle injury.

Ryan Van Demark stepped up in his first career start, performing admirably and helping the Bills secure a victory without allowing a sack. His performance drew praise from former coach Jon Gruden, highlighting the effectiveness of Buffalo's coaching staff.

With Brown's recovery underway, Van Demark's reliable play adds to the Bills' confidence in their offensive line depth as they prepare for their next matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Chris Jones of the Kansas City Chiefs showcased his elite pass-rushing skills with 78.5 career sacks and five All-Pro selections. However, in Week 11, the Buffalo Bills, particularly second-year guard O'Cyrus Torrence, effectively neutralized him, contributing to a 30-21 victory.

Despite struggles in the run game, Torrence's performance was pivotal, as he allowed no sacks or hits on quarterback Josh Allen. Analysts praised his ability to handle Jones, indicating that his play was exceptional and rare in the league.

The Buffalo Bills faced a tense moment when starting left tackle Dion Dawkins was injured late in their game against the Kansas City Chiefs. With Spencer Brown already sidelined, Richard Gouraige stepped in for his NFL debut. Despite the injury scare, Dawkins returned quickly, allowing the Bills to maintain their offensive rhythm.

Head coach Sean McDermott praised the resilience of his players, highlighting the contributions of Gouraige and Ryan Van Demark, who shifted positions to adapt to the situation. The Bills secured a 30-21 victory, bolstering Josh Allen's MVP candidacy.
