Bills' Cole Bishop: Dons red non-contact jersey
Bishop (shoulder) returned to practice Tuesday and did not participate in contact drills, Ryan O'Halloran of The Buffalo News reports.
Bishop suffered a shoulder injury at the end of July, which has kept him from participating in practices and preseason games. He's progressed enough in his recovery to take part in walkthroughs and individual drills, but he will avoid engaging in contact and will likely not suit up for Buffalo's preseason finale against Carolina on Saturday. Once healthy, Bishop -- the Bills' second-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft -- could see some meaningful defensive snaps early in the regular season due to injuries to safeties Damar Hamlin (hamstring) and Mike Edwards (hamstring)

Bills' Cole Bishop: Showing improvement
Bishop (shoulder) is slated to take part in walkthroughs and parts of individual drills at practice this week, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
Bishop injured his shoulder during practice in late July and hasn't been able to participate in any capacity since. His impending return to limited practice participation suggests that the rookie is improving, but it seems unlikely that he'll be able to suit up for the Bills' exhibition finale against Carolina on Saturday. As a 2024 second-round pick, Bishop is still likely to make the 53-man roster, and he's expected to work in a backup role while also serving on special teams.

Bills' Cole Bishop: Another Buffalo DB goes down
Bishop suffered an undisclosed injury during Tuesday's practice and did not return, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.
The Bills already lost veteran Mike Edwards this week to a hamstring injury, and now the rookie from Utah will join him on the sidelines. Buffalo did bring in Kareem Jackson on a one-year deal Tuesday, so there is at least one reinforcement available for a secondary that already lost long-time stars Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde this offseason.

Bishop, defensive lineman DeWayne Carter, running back Ray Davis, offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio, defensive end Javon Solomon, tackle Tylan Grable and cornerback Daequan Hardy all signed their deals Tuesday, leaving second-round wideout Keon Coleman as the last rookie to sign. As for Bishop, he has a good chance to be the team's No. 3 safety behind Taylor Rapp and Mike Edwards following a standout career at Utah.

Bills' Cole Bishop: Buffalo bound in second round
The Bills selected Bishop in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 60th overall.
Bishop has big shoes to fill as the Bills attempt to replace both of their longtime standout safeties (Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde), and it won't be easy to imitate their high level of play over the years. With that said, coach Sean McDermott is a scholar of defensive backs, and there's no doubt his coaching helped maximize both Poyer and Hyde. What makes Bishop especially interesting is that, unlike Poyer and Hyde, he's a big-time athlete. At 6-foot-2, 206 pounds, the Utah standout logged a 4.45-second 40-yard dash in addition to a 39-inch vertical. The challenge for McDermott will be to harness Bishop's superior athleticism and transform the rookie into the technicians both Poyer and Hyde developed into. Bishop could soon establish a major presence both on the field and in IDP fantasy formats.
