Bills fall to Panthers 31-26 in preseason finale with starters sidelined

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills opted to rest their starters in Saturday's preseason finale as they fell to the Carolina Panthers 31-26 at Highmark Stadium.

The Bills rested all of their starters to avoid risking further injury to an already limping team. Starting linebacker Matt Milano (torn left biceps) will miss at least two months, while receivers Curtis Samuel (turf toe) and Marquez Valdes-Scantling (neck) and backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky (knee) are listed week to week.
