McGovern (hamstring) was not listed on Buffalo's injury report Wednesday.
McGovern was held out of some preseason action due to a nagging hamstring issue, but it seems like he's going to suit up in Week 1. He'll have his hands full right away with the Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike and Travis Jones.

Bills' Connor McGovern: Held out Sunday
Rotowire
McGovern (hamstring) was held out of Sunday's 38-0 preseason loss to the Bears, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
McGovern tweaked his hamstring at practice Friday, which led to the team's decision to not have him play versus Chicago. The center said he would have played in the contest if it was a regular-season game, which seems to suggest that he's dealing with something relatively minor.
General manager Brandon Beane revealed Sunday that McGovern is in line to take over as the starting center in 2024, Patrick Warren of the Bills' official site reports. "Connor has welcomed the opportunity and he'll get his chance once we start lining up," Beane said.
The Bills released longtime starter Mitch Morse earlier this month, and Morse signed with the Jaguars less than a week later. McGovern started at left guard last season, but the plan as stated by Beane would involve moving David Edwards from a reserve role into McGovern's old position.
