Jenkins should get a lot of reps in the preseason. Starter Terrel Bernard, Dorian Williams and Shaq Thompson all missed the preseason game, and Buffalo released Baylon Spector last week. Jenkins outplayed second-year linebacker Edefuan Ulofoshio, the Bills' 2024 fifth-round pick who had six tackles in four games last year.

Despite suffering a loss to the New York Giants, these 4 Buffalo Bills players improved their standing during the first preseason game.

ORCHARD PARK - The battle to become Josh Allen’s backup got off to a spirited start Saturday afternoon during the Buffalo Bills’ preseason-opening 34-25 loss to the New York Giants. Mitch Trubisky got the start in what was the final exhibition game in the history of 53-year-old Highmark Stadium and he played the entire first half and produced scoring drives of 65 and 68 yards resulting in 10 points.
