The Buffalo Bills could be without their starting center on their offensive line for the rest of the preseason but hopefully not the longer.
During Buffalo's 29-14 preseason-opening win against the Carolina Panthers, Connor McGovern did not play. It was Lloyd Cushenberry taking the first-team reps and snapping the ball to quarterback Josh Allen.
McGovern sustained a lower-body injury during the Bills' first open practice on Aug. 9 and has yet to return to the field. It's unclear exactly what McGovern's injury is but we have a timetable thanks to him.
Despite not playing against the Panthers, McGovern appeared in Buffalo's locker room and declared he would be back from injury before the end of the preseason... or at least before the start of the regular season.
A "few weeks" will still be missed, though. Here's what McGovern told reporters via ESPN:
