Buffalo bills their punting game hangs in the balance after Cameron Johnston’s injury, triggering an audition of replacements. Three frontrunners emerge: Brad Robbins, Ryan Stonehouse, and Michael Palardy, each with differing ceilings and resumes. The Bills also hosted Mitch Wishnowsky and Pat O’Donnell in workouts, underscoring a bleak market but highlighting the urgency to protect field position against New England.

Familiarity with the staff boosts Robbins’ odds to reclaim the job, while Stonehouse’s youth suggests bounce-back potential if he rediscovers 2022–23 form. Palardy brings veteran steadiness, but the long layoff since 2023 could affect timing. The outcome will shape Buffalo’s situational punting and, by extension, Week 6 expectations.
