Summary

  • Seven Buffalo touchdowns highlighted Thursday’s joint practice in Cleveland, with Josh Allen hitting Dalton Kincaid twice, Jackson Hawes twice and Joshua Palmer once before reserves added two more scores.
  • A roughly 55-yard Allen-to-Kincaid strike in a two-minute drill stood out as Buffalo used the session to test starters against unfamiliar schemes before Saturday’s preseason game.
  • Buffalo’s defense answered with Jordan Hancock’s red-zone interception, Maxwell Hairston’s end-zone breakup and Greg Rousseau’s 2 sacks, plus pressure from Michael Hoecht and Bradley Chubb.
  • Joe Brady said the first unit was expected to get 40 to 50 reps, calling the workload close to regular-season conditions as he weighs how much starters, including Allen, will play Saturday.
