Bills, Sabres co-owner 'progressing' from health issue
Buffalo Bills and Sabres co-owner Kim Pegula is “progressing well” while rehabilitating from a health issue she experienced earlier this month, the family said in a statement released on Tuesday. The family would only say Pegula is resting, while adding they are “grateful for the medical professionals providing her care, and to everyone for their prayers and well wishes.” The family would not say whether Pegula remains in the intensive care unit of a Florida hospital or specify the medical issue in asking to continue respecting their need for privacy.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
A short jump up here to take a long, talented zone/press corner who is not yet 21 years old. Elam has some playmaking chops but can be handsy in coverage. We thought this might be for a safety, but the Bills show that they do in fact value the CB2 spot, which was in some doubt. Elam wouldn’t have lasted much longer, but we see it as a slight reach.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Back to back Cooks! Dalvin's little bro is a different kind of back, but he's one who could be heavily counted on as a receiver — even as a slot option in time. Although Cook wasn't able to show off his skills at the Senior Bowl, he had a knack for making big plays (such as in the national title game) when Georgia needed it, albeit in a limited-touch role. The Bills add more offense: bad news for everyone else.

Eric Edholm's Commentary
Bernard is a smaller-framed linebacker who was the heartbeat of the Baylor defense (along with Jalen Pitre) the past few seasons. With good range and a captain's temperament, he fits the Bills well, even if his lengthy injury history bears watching.
