Buffalo eyes three trade candidates before the 2026 deadline as the Bills sit 5-1 heading into Week 8. Defensive tackle Mike Danna, a former Kansas City rotational pass‑rusher with 6.5 sacks in 2023, has seen limited snaps and was briefly released, making him a low‑cost, experience‑laden option for teams needing depth. Versatile backup running back Ty Johnson, who has logged 155 receiving yards and a 72‑yard catch this season, could fetch a late‑round pick despite his reduced rushing role behind James Cook and Ray Davis. Both players offer veteran insight without jeopardizing Buffalo’s core, but any move hinges on finding a buyer who truly needs their skill set.
Buffalo, 5‑1, meets a restored Lamar Jackson as the Ravens (4‑3) return their star QB after a left‑ankle sprain. Former Bills coach Sean McDermott, who beat Jackson twice in the playoffs, warns his squad that the dual‑threat quarterback can explode 80‑yard plays as a runner and a passer. Jackson, who missed three games, posted a 70.8% completion rate, 967 yards, six TDs and a rushing TD before his injury; Tyler Huntley’s under‑Jackson offense averaged just 17.7 points. The Bills rank 31st in total and passing defense, while the Ravens look to rebound from a 35‑13 loss to Cincinnati. McDermott stresses preparation for Jackson’s elusiveness ahead of the AFC showdown.

The Baltimore Ravens activate cornerback T.J. Tampa from injured reserve and promote offensive lineman Chuma Edoga and linebacker Adisa Isaac from the practice squad ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Tampa, 24, missed most of the season after a Week 1 knee injury but returned to full practice this week and will provide depth in a secondary led by Marlon Humphrey and Nate Wiggins. Edoga and Isaac step in as the Ravens cope with injuries to guard Vega Ioane and OLB Tavius Robinson.
Josh Allen’s record against the Ravens has been underwhelming: in six meetings (including a playoff game) he’s posted a 59.3% completion rate, 211 passing yards per game and a modest 82.7 passer rating, while being limited to 30 or fewer rushing yards in all but a 70‑yard effort in the 2022 comeback. Key defenders Roquan Smith, Kyle Hamilton and Marlon Humphrey continue to disrupt him. Yet Allen’s Week 1 performance last season hinted at a shift, as he threw for 394 yards and added two rushing scores in a 41‑40 win. The article examines whether that breakout signals a new trend against Baltimore’s defense.
The Buffalo Bills bolster a struggling secondary ahead of their Week 8 clash with the Baltimore Ravens at Highmark Stadium.

Gardner‑Johnson suspended, all three could see action against Lamar Jackson’s Ravens.

He stresses the game as a "must‑win" to silence critics, while Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s health adds further stakes. The outcome will gauge the Ravens’ offensive spark and coaching adjustments ahead of a crucial stretch of the AFC schedule.
