Bills' Marquez Valdes-Scantling leaves the game against the Steelers with a neck injury

PITTSBURGH – Buffalo Bills wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling was ruled out of his team's preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday due to a neck injury.

Valdes-Scantling sustained the injury when he was tackled by three Steelers defenders late in the first half after catching a pass from quarterback Ben DiNucci on third down.

Valdes-Scantling was examined by athletic trainers on the field while his teammates surrounded him as he was slowly brought to a sitting position and then slowly led off the field and eventually to the medical tent. Just before halftime, he was taken off the field in the passenger seat of a car. It was his only catch and his only goal of the game.

The Bills' wide receiver room was revamped during the offseason, and finding the right players to fill the final spots is still a work in progress.

Valdes-Scantling's injury was one of many the Bills suffered Saturday night. Quarterback Mitchell Trubisky (knee), defensive tackle Austin Johnson (calf) and tight end Quintin Morris (shoulder) were also held out of the game, adding to a Bills team already dealing with several injuries, including linebacker Matt Milano, who tore his biceps during Tuesday's practice.

Quarterback Josh Allen, who is healthy, did not play with the rest of the first team on Saturday and Trubisky started in his place. Trubisky left the game after five drives, so quarterback Ben DiNucci, who the team signed on Tuesday, is expected to play the rest of the game.
