The Bills got a double dose of bad news in their offensive backfield last week.
Karlos Williams was suspended four games for violating the league’s substance-abuse policy on Friday, which was a day after rookie Jonathan Williams was arrested for DUI in Arkansas. That could lead to a suspension for the younger Williams and the dual issues (plus Karlos Williams’ conditioning issues this offseason) appears to have the Bills questioning how much they can rely on the duo.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that the Bills are “have targeted” veteran free agent Reggie Bush to help fill out a depth chart that also has LeSean McCoy and Mike Gillislee on it. Jason LaCanfora of CBS Sports calls Bush the “favorite” to land in Buffalo, although Rapoport adds that Bush is weighing his options at the moment.
Bush tore his ACL while playing with the 49ers last season, which was the latest in a series of injuries that he’s dealt with during a career that’s also seen him spend time in New Orleans, Miami and Detroit. Bush said last month that he feels healthy and doesn’t think he’s lost a step, something he may get to prove in Buffalo once camp starts later this month.
