Roberts (quad) will miss a third straight practice Friday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts didn't play last week against the Jets, while his status for Week 2 seems very much up in the air. The return game takes a pretty big hit when he's not available, though we'll see if he can at least earn the "questionable" tag for Sunday, as he's been reportedly progressing in the right direction, albeit slowly.

Roberts is sitting out a second straight practice due to a quad injury suffered in Week 1, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills can replace Roberts at receiver but he's one of the league's best returners, a job that will be shared by Isaiah McKenzie and Micah Hyde (and perhaps Devin Singletary) in Week 2 against the Giants if Roberts has to sit another week. He'll get one more chance to put his hat in the ring if he can practice to some degree Friday.

Roberts, who missed Sunday's win over the Jets with a quadriceps injury, isn't practicing Wednesday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts was reportedly doing a lot better leading into the week, but his absence Wednesday is not a great sign. Isaiah McKenzie and Micah Hyde would likely fill in for Roberts on the Bills' return units again if he can't find his way back to the field for the Week 2 game against the Giants.

Roberts (quad) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts had a great training camp and preseason and was set to have a key role as a returner/receiver combo, but the injury cropped up recently, and now he won't get a chance to sting his former team until later in the season. The likely candidates to fill Roberts' return-man role are Devin Singletary (kickoffs) and Micah Hyde (punts), though the Bills may use multiple folks on punt returns given Hyde's key defensive role.

Roberts (quadriceps) is considered a game-time decision for Sunday's contest against the Jets, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts, who failed to practice for the second straight day Thursday, is Buffalo's top return man and also provides the team with receiver depth. If he's unable to suit up for the regular-season opener versus the Jets, Devin Singletary should see work returning kickoffs and Micah Hyde will handle punt returns.

Roberts (quadriceps) sat out of Wednesday's practice, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts locked down a roster spot this preseason by excelling as a specialist and holding his own as a wide receiver, Now, he's considered day-to-day ahead of the season opener versus the Jets, his former team. If he's unable to suit up for Sunday's game, expect Devin Singletary to take over kickoff return duties and Micah Hyde to return punts.

Roberts has been sprinkled in with the first unit during recent training camp practices, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports. Said coach Sean McDermott, " I think he's been more than a returner over the course of his career if you go back to Arizona, having gone against him. He's a great teammate, positive guy, great energy, puts the team first and I think he's done some nice things from the line of scrimmage too."

EDGE Analysis

Roberts is not going to beat out John Brown, Zay Jones or Cole Beasley for a top spot in the offense, though he could work his way into a No. 4 or No. 5 receiving job with Robert Foster. Whether the Bills keep five or six receivers, Roberts is a near lock to make the final roster due to his return prowess.

Roberts is coming off an impressive week of minicamp practices and appears to have the inside track on the fifth wide receiver spot, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Roberts' skills as an elite return man give him an edge over almost every other depth receiver competing for a job this summer, but the veteran is also opening up some eyes in the passing game. Entering his 10th NFL season, he does have a few decent campaigns on his receiving ledger, most notably a 64/759/5 line in 2012 with the Cardinals, while he's come close to that a few other times, also earlier in the decade. We'll slot Roberts as a solid five on the depth chart for now -- behind Zay Jones, John Brown, Cole Beasley and Robert Foster -- in addition to being the team's clear-cut best return option.

The Bills signed Roberts on Wednesday, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the heels of posting career bests in both kickoff (1,174) and punt (324) return yards last season, Roberts earned All-Pro and Pro-Bowl honors. He'll now move within the AFC East from the Jets to the Bills, where he should take on a similar workload. When it comes to offensive contributions, Roberts will have a tough time nudging fellow receivers John Brown, Cole Beasley, Robert Foster and Zay Jones out of the lineup.

Roberts is not expected to re-sign with the Jets, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

On the same day the Jets let 2018 Pro-Bowl kicker Jason Myers walk in free agency, the organization will now allegedly cut ties with another 2018 Pro-Bowler -- and 2018 first-team All-Pro kick returner -- in Roberts. While Roberts should command heavy interest on the open market as a return man, it's far too early in the offseason to speculate who might take over his former role in New York.
