. Through three quarters the Bills managed to keep the game within striking distance. Inevitably Youth LeSean McCoy Jersey , the Patriots broke through to the end zone. A Buffalo offense that had done nothing all game respondedby doing worse than nothing. Let’s dive into playing time. It has to be less depressing than the final score. Offense (64 snaps)OK, I was wrong. Right away the snap counts remind us that Derek Anderson was injured at the end of the game. (Marcus Murphy saw one snap, missed his block, and Anderson ended up injured.) We’ll be watching that situation closely as the quarterback room was already bare bones when it included Anderson. Keep an eye on Dion Dawkins as well, as he was looked at by trainers. He returned to the game without missing a snap, so hopefully there’s no bad news there. Patrick DiMarco hit the field twelve times, which is a higher than usual. In contrast, there were no extra linemen used for a jumbo package. Cam Phillips hit the field again, but did not see any change in playing time. In general the skill position players remained stable this week. Defense (76 snaps)Another injury to monitor will be the concussion sustained by Tremaine Edmunds. With a short week to prepare for the Chicago Bears, the Bills might be better served preparing backup Julian Stanford rather than rushing back Edmunds. Trent Murphy was out for this game and his usual 60-70% of playing time was distributed mainly between Lorenzo Alexander and Shaq Lawson. Lorenzo Alexander also continued to spend time as a defensive tackle and logged his highest snap total of the year in this game. Alexander used the extra time wisely with two sacks, a forced fumble Youth Charles Clay Jersey , and six combined tackles. Jordan Phillips’s time has slowly crept up since joining the team on October 3rd.Special Teams (28 snaps)The list above includes players who saw 30% or more of special teams snaps. In total, 36 players took the field on special teams, which has been pretty typical this season. The group above has been mostly stable as well. Lorenzo Alexander continued to be a core player on this unit even with the extra time on defense. Micah Hyde has seen a little extra time with special teams in the last couple weeks. This is likely a result of his reliability as a punt returner being needed.Buffalo Bills trade offensive lineman Marshall Newhouse to Carolina Panthers The Buffalo Bills have traded reserve offensive lineman Marshall Newhouse to the Carolina Panthers, according to Adam Caplan of NFL Network. The nine-year veteran signed with Buffalo this offseason, penning a one-year deal to serve as a backup to tackles Dion Dawkins and Jordan Mills. Throughout training camp, the Bills used Newhouse as a reserve along the interior offensive line, as well. Newhouse, 29, appeared in all three games for the Bills this season, mostly serving as a sixth lineman in jumbo packages. He appeared on 3 offensive snaps for the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens, 6 offensive snaps against the Los Angeles Chargers Youth Kelvin Benjamin Jersey , and 5 offensive snaps against the Minnesota Vikings.For his career, Newhouse has appeared in 103 games, making 70 starts. He is capable of playing four out of five spots along the offensive line, and his versatility has clearly proven valuable.There is no word as to the compensation Buffalo received, but the fact that general manager Brandon Beane was able to find anyone willing to give him something for a depth offensive line player is fantastic work on his part. We will update when we find out what the Bills received.UPDATE 2 (4:54PM): ESPN’s Mike Rodak is reporting that the Bills acquired a late-round draft choice in 2021 from the Panthers.UPDATE1 (4:50 PM): The Bills officially announced the trade, saying that they have dealt Newhouse for a “future, conditional draft pick.” They also announced that Newhouse has been replaced on the roster by another offensive lineman, Jeremiah Sirles.
