When asked Thursday about the chances of Valdes-Scantling (neck) and Curtis Samuel (turf toe) playing Week 1, coach Sean McDermott expressed a degree of optimism, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
"I feel like those two, from what I've heard so far, have a real good chance of being back, just not committing to it yet," McDermott noted of Valdes-Scantling and Samuel. Once available, Valdes-Scantling will look to solidify his standing in a Buffalo WR corps that also includes Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Samuel, Mack Hollins and KJ Hamler.
