Saturday Sports Update

On Friday, reporters appeared to have gotten their answer. Mahomes, who left last week's AFC Divisional Playoff contest against the Cleveland Browns with concussion-like symptoms, announced that he has cleared concussion protocol and expects to play on Sunday.

They do have two players who are listed as questionable, including rookie wide receiver Gabriel Davis, who injured his ankle against the Baltimore Ravens last week. Defensive tackle Vernon Butler is also questionable for Sunday with a quadriceps injury. Photo by the Buffalo Bills

Cozens' first career tally came midway through the 2nd period of the Sabres' game against the Washington Capitals, tying the game at 2-2. The Sabres, however, came up short, losing 4-3 in a shootout.
