    The Buffalo Bills have officially concluded their 2024 training camp after 12 days of intense practice sessions. With fans in attendance, the team now transitions to the next phase of their preparation for the season—preseason games, which will be mostly held behind closed doors. However, before the shift, the final day of camp provided some notable offensive observations.

    One of the biggest pieces of news from the final practice was head coach Sean McDermott’s announcement that starting quarterback Josh Allen and the first-team offense will indeed play in the preseason opener against the Chicago Bears . This decision ends speculation about whether the starters would see any preseason action and adds a layer of anticipation for the game.

    On the field, wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling continued to be a player of intrigue. Known for his inconsistency, Valdes-Scantling struggled with drops throughout camp, but he also made some highlight-worthy plays. One such play occurred during the final practice when he made an impressive catch on a pass from Allen, beating cornerback Christian Benford. His performance remains a mixed bag, but the potential for impact plays is evident.

    Tight end Dawson Knox , often overshadowed by rookie Dalton Kincaid, reminded everyone of his value in the Bills' offense. Knox had a standout session, catching a long pass from Allen during 11-on-11 drills and scoring two touchdowns during red zone work. His performance solidified his role as a key contributor for the upcoming season.

    As the Bills transition from training camp to preseason, these offensive highlights offer a glimpse of what to expect when the team takes the field for their first preseason game.
