Todd Monken explains why only 1 joint practice with the #Bills (🥊 🛎️ ) and they would have liked to practice with #Bears Via @RuiterWrongFAN on X

What happened: Buffalo will visit Aug. 20, with the teams returning for a preseason game two days later. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Why it matters: The outside work will give Monken another evaluation point during an unsettled quarterback competition. The pairing creates consecutive tests against Buffalo before the preseason moves forward.

By the numbers: Twenty-eight of 32 NFL teams, or 87.5%, scheduled at least one joint practice this summer.

What to watch: The Aug. 20 session will show how Monken distributes reps before the Aug. 22 game.
