Buffalo Bills at New England Patriots: Team connections
The Buffalo Bills (3-2) are visiting the New England Patriots (1-5) in Week 7.
While a brand new NFL weekend, both teams are familiar with one another. Some players and coaches more than others.
Here’s a quick list of connections the two teams have with one another ahead of Sunday’s matchup:
Bills RB Damien Harris
Harris played the first four years of his career with the Patriots before signing with the Bills this offseason. He was injured last week and is unlikely to play.
Patriots OL Conor McDermott
McDermott was drafted by the Patriots and has done some rounds in the AFC East. In 2017, the Bills claimed him off waivers when the Pats cut him. He then ended up on the New York Jets before returning to New England this offseason. McDermott was previously released via injury settlement and just re-signed to their practice squad this week.
Patriots LB Joe Giles-Harris
Previously a member of the Bills’ practice squad, Giles-Harris holds that same position with the Patriots.
Patriots CB Breon Borders
Borders spent time on the Bills’ practice squad in 2017. He has jumped around the NFL… a lot. He’s on the Pats practice squad now, his 10th team.
