Bills

• Bleacher Report’s James Palmer says the Bills are looking to make a trade to shore up their defense ahead of the in-season deadline. 

Jets

• ESPN’s Rich Cimini writes that while the Jets won’t trade WR Garrett Wilson this season and the star wideout isn’t pushing to get out, this is a topic that could come up again in the offseason.  
• Cimini also notes the Jets don’t seem interested in trading RB Breece Hall, and his injury would complicate any pursuit of that anyway. 
• While Cimini doesn’t anticipate the Jets being particularly busy before the trade deadline, he lists several players who he wouldn’t be shocked if the team traded. That includes OLB Will McDonald IV, CB Nahshon Wright, S Andre Cisco, CB Jarvis Brownlee Jr., LB Jamien Sherwood, TE Jeremy Ruckert and TE Jelani Woods.
• Cimini explains McDonald’s snaps have fallen, Cisco has been pushed out of the starting lineup, Sherwood has been inconsistent and the team was discussing a reduction in playing time recently, Brownlee was recently disciplined for missing multiple team meetings and Wright flat-out isn’t playing and has essentially requested a trade. 
• Mike Garafolo later reported that the team would not be trading McDonald. 

Patriots

• Patriots HC Mike Vrabel on WR A.J. Brown‘s injury: “Just like everything else, when you come out of the game or all week or practice on Monday, evaluate the player. Just wasn’t able to to be able to practice or finish practice on Wednesday, and so we continue to treat him, and then we’ll see where he is tomorrow.” (Kyed)
• Brown’s lengthy knee injury concerned the Rams when they tried to trade for him before his departure from Philadelphia to the Patriots, and it has flared up again over the past few weeks. (Rapoport)
• Vrabel on DT Christian Barmore‘s reduced role on early downs: “Just try to find ways to have him affect the quarterback. Try to make that his primary role.” (Kyed)
