Overview

• The Bills shifted their annual Blue & Red practice from St. John Fisher University to Highmark Stadium on August 1, drawing the largest crowd in the event’s history.
• Quarterback Josh Allen wore the classic 1987–2001 red helmet for individual drills and one 7-on-7 series before sitting out full-team reps as a precaution.
• The revived helmet design pays homage to Buffalo’s early 1990s Super Bowl appearances and is set to return for the Week 18 finale against the New York Jets.
• Rookie cornerback Maxwell Hairston arrived on crutches with an LCL sprain and remains without a clear timetable for his return.
• This showcase marks the final preseason activity at Highmark Stadium before the Bills move into their new facility across the street in 2026.
