Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills starters are expected to PLAY against the Carolina Panthers in their 2026 NFL preseason opener — and head coach Joe Brady explained exactly why. There’s obvious risk involved with putting one of the NFL’s best quarterbacks on the field in August, but Brady wants his team experiencing a real game together. New head coach. New defensive system. New stadium. And a new standard Brady is trying to establish in Buffalo. Beyond Josh Allen, Brady isn't focused on the preseason scoreboard. He's evaluating physicality, tackling, communication, finishing plays and whether the Bills actually LOOK like the team he wants them to become. Saturday is our first opportunity to see what the Joe Brady era of Buffalo Bills football is supposed to look like. #BuffaloBills #BillsMafia #JoshAllen #JoeBrady #NFLPreseason
