ZACK MOSS NEWS

Zack Moss, Boogie Basham headline list of Bills inactives ' Week 1 Five Bills are listed as inactive for today's game.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 • BUFFALOBILLS.COM

Surprise inactive Moss will be inactive for Sunday's opener against the Steelers,

Impact This will be one of the bigger surprises for Week 1. Moss did have offseason ankle surgery, but he was well up to speed early in training camp and played in the preseason. Either he had some kind of injury crop up very late in the week, he broke some kind of team rule, or coach Sean McDermott simply feels he's not fully all the way back and Matt Breida would be a more reliable short-term backup for starter Devin Singletary. This will be an interesting story to follow for those trying to guess which Bills RB will get the most opportunities stemming from the high-flying Buffalo passing game. The current listing for Moss is "healthy scratch," though we're sure there's more to follow on his situation.

NFL preseason: Top moments from Saturday's games

Tom Brady and Josh Allen were both marvelous to finish out the preseason. Here are the top moments from Saturday's action!

AUGUST 29, 2021

Catches TD pass Moss took four carries for 10 yards and caught one pass for a three-yard touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against Green Bay.

Impact Devin Singletary got the start and most of the snaps on a lengthy opening drive, but he finished with no carries and two catches for only eight yards. Matt Breida also saw a little work with the first-team offense, and his 16-yard gain was the team's only chunk play in the running game before halftime. Moss figures to be part of a two- or even three-man committee to start the season, with Buffalo kicking things off against Pittsburgh in Week 1.

Bills risers and fallers: Devin Singletary, Zack Moss answer call at RB; OT depth is a concern The Bills improved to 2-0 in the preseason with a win over the Bears, but not everyone helped their case for the 53-man roster.

AUGUST 22, 2021 • THEATHLETIC.COM

Handles four carries Moss carried the ball four times for 21 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Bears.

Impact Moss made his 2021 debut after undergoing offseason ankle surgery and battling a minor hamstring injury during training camp. He played on only one drive and worked exclusively after Devin Singletary was out of the game, picking up notable gains of six and 11 yards. Moss appears to be behind Singletary on the depth chart for the time being, though that makes sense given his inability to stay on the field consistently to this point.

Playing this weekend Moss will play in Saturday's preseason game against Chicago, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Moss had ankle surgery in the offseason and missed a few camp practices with a minor hamstring injury. Saturday will be his 2021 debut, while backfield mate Devin Singletary is no lock to play, as Bills coach Sean McDermott said he'll rest many of the veterans who have already spent a few years with the team. Granted Singletary won't necessarily be among that group, considering he and Moss presumably are still competing for playing time in the backfield.

Returns to team drills Moss (hamstring) participated in team drills Monday, Matt Parrino of syracuse.com reports.

Impact Moss was injured last Tuesday and missed Friday's preseason opener in Detroit, but the Bills hope to have him ready for their second exhibition this Saturday at Chicago. It'll be interesting to see how Moss and Devin Singletary split first-team snaps if they both suit up.

AUGUST 16, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses preseason opener Moss (hamstring) didn't play in Friday's preseason opener against the Lions.

Impact With Moss out, Devin Singletary got the start and delivered a strong performance (48 scrimmage yards and a touchdown on nine touches). Moss and Singletary are expected to split carries once Moss heals up, with Matt Breida, who totaled 27 rushing yards and 15 receiving yards Friday, mixing in as a change-of-pace option. Since Moss's injury is considered minor, he has a chance of suiting up in Week 2 of the preseason against Chicago.

Impact We would guess that McDermott would have a different statement if Moss was going to play in Friday's preseason opener against the Lions, so don't expect the second-year back to be out there. We'll see if he can get in some form of practicing next week as he competes with Devin Singletary -- and to a lesser extent Matt Breida -- for his share of the carries in the Buffalo backfield.

Impact Moss missed spring practices after having ankle surgery in January, but he returned for training camp without incident until an early exit from Tuesday's practice. In his absence, Devin Singletary could take on a larger share of the first-team reps, with Matt Breida and/or Antonio Williams mixing in. Come Week 1, the Bills figure to have Moss and Singletary splitting work -- assuming both are healthy -- though it won't necessarily be the 50/50 split they used for much of last season.

Picks up new injury Moss exited Tuesday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Impact Moss spent the offseason in recovery mode from a left ankle injury suffered in the Bills' divisional-round win against the Colts that required surgery in mid-January. He opened training camp as a limited practice participant, but he quickly was handling every rep and mentioned that he had cleared the mental aspect of running on the ankle in question. Now, Moss is tending to a new injury, which could impact his availability for Friday's preseason game at Detroit. The situation also may allow Devin Singletary to get a leg up in Buffalo's backfield competition.

Impact Moss should be plenty ready for the regular season, though the Bills have enough depth at the position that they can take it easy on him, even leading into the regular season if need be. What remains unclear is how the carries will be divided between himself and Devin Singletary, and to a lesser extent newcomer Matt Breida.

Limited to start camp Moss (ankle) will practice Wednesday, though head coach Sean McDermott said it would be "irresponsible" if the running back was a full go in the session, Joe Buscaglia of The Athle...

Impact In other words, Moss will start camp as a limited participant after missing offseason practices entirely. He's coming back from mid-January surgery on his left ankle, again competing with Devin Singletary for first-team reps in the Buffalo backfield. Moss, the 86th overall pick in the 2020 Draft, finished his rookie campaign with 112 carries for 481 yards (4.3 YPC) and four touchdowns, plus 14 catches for 95 yards and another score over his 13 games. Singletary was also a mediocre performer despite starting all 16 games, finishing with 156 carries for 687 yards (4.4 YPC) and two TDs and 38 catches for 260 yards. Given Josh Allen's dominance of the offensive workload, especially in the red zone, it'll be hard for either Moss or Singletary to establish significant fantasy value if the committee continues. Moss at least seems to be on track for Week 1, and he could even make a preseason appearance in August.
