Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott announced that quarterback Josh Allen and the first-team offense will play approximately one quarter in the upcoming preseason opener against the Chicago Bears. This decision aims to prepare the team for the regular season, especially with several new faces in the offense. Allen, who did not play in the first preseason game last year, expressed a willingness to play but understands the importance of health leading into the season.

• Josh Allen will see action in the preseason opener, which is a shift from last year's approach.
• The Bills are integrating new offensive players, including rookie Keon Coleman.
• Several key offensive players are dealing with injuries, impacting the team's depth.
