The Buffalo Bills have been forced to alter its practice schedule this week after at least five players on the team fell sick.

Head coach Sean McDermott confirmed that defensive linesmen Jordan Philipps and Tom Settle, linebacker Matt Milano, defensive back Cam Lewis and fullback Reggie Gilliam have been absent from Wednesday's practice due to illness.

'We're going to adjust practice because we don't have enough numbers to practice,' McDermott said. 'So we're going to adjust a little bit, we'll go out there and do some individual and then have to just service offense, service defense, so some of this is affected by that.'

To make matters worse, Bills quarterback Josh Allen has also been limited in terms of mobility in practice, as of late, due to a right elbow injury that he sustained in the final minutes of Buffalo's Week 9 loss to the Jets.
