Dodson was suspended for violating the league’s personal conduct policy Thursday, a day after the player reached an agreement with prosecutors to defer a domestic violence charge of disorderly conduct-disruptive behavior-fighting.

Dodson has agreed to enter a diversion program and must also meet other conditions to have the charge cleared from his record. He is scheduled to have a restitution hearing in November and has a sentencing hearing set for Sept. 14, 2020.

Separate charges of assault and property damage were dropped as part of the agreement.

Dodson’s agent, Zeke Sandhu, did not return a message seeking comment.

Dodson spent the offseason practicing with the team before being placed on the reserve/commissioner’s exempt list on Aug. 31, when the Bills made their final cuts to establish their regular-season roster.

He was an undrafted rookie free agent out of Texas A&M, and signed with Buffalo on May 9.

He was arrested at a nightclub following the altercation on May 25.

Bills general manager Brandon Beane says a team investigation found no credible evidence of Dodson committing an act of domestic violence. He adds the team’s pre-draft evaluation of Dodson showed no history of him getting into legal trouble.

Coach Sean McDermott said before practice Monday that Taylor has shown signs of improvement but remains in concussion protocol.

Taylor has been out since he was injured during the second series of a 13-9 preseason loss at Baltimore on Aug. 26. He missed practice last week but attended Buffalo’s preseason finale against Detroit on Thursday.

Veteran third-string quarterback T.J. Yates is also in concussion protocol after he was hurt against Baltimore.

That means the Bills could turn to Peterman. The fifth-round pick out of Pittsburgh has jumped ahead of Yates to become the primary backup. Peterman saw the most extensive playing time this preseason, and finished 43 of 79 for 483 yards and a touchdown.

”He is ready,” McDermott said. ”When you look at what he’s done throughout the preseason, I’m confident, and we’re extremely confident in Nathan. I expect that he’s only going to continue to get better.”

The Bills signed quarterback Joe Webb for insurance in case Taylor or Yates can’t play. Webb has been in the NFL seven seasons and spent the past three with Carolina, where he also played on special teams.

The Bills are off Tuesday and returning to practice Wednesday.

McDermott wouldn’t say when he must decide on his starter.

”We’ll cross that road when we come to it at this point,” he said. ”We feel good we’ll have clarity around the situation when we need it, and this team’s ready.”

To make roster space for Yates, Buffalo released veteran safety Colt Anderson.

Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills
When: 1:00 PM ET, Saturday, December 24, 2016
Where: New Era Field, Orchard Park, New York

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS.
LINE: Bills -4.
O/U: 41
PREDICTION: Bills 20, Dolphins 17

Oddsmakers currently have the BUFFALO listed as -4 point favorites versus the MIAMI, while the game’s total is sitting at 41.

Even without quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the Miami Dolphins remain one of the hottest teams in the NFL.

Miami’s playoff push weathered the cold in last week’s road win over the New York Jets. The Dolphins head back north on the same mission Saturday with a visit to the Buffalo Bills. It likely won’t be a white Christmas Eve at New Era Field, but freezing rain is in the forecast.

The Dolphins (9-5) have won eight of their last nine games and control their fate in the AFC wild-card race. They can clinch their first playoff berth since 2008 with a win at Buffalo and a Denver loss in Kansas City.

Miami has not won in Buffalo since 2011. Matt Moore was the Dolphins’ quarterback for that game, and he’s starting again with Tannehill out indefinitely due to a sprained knee.

Moore stepped in and had a career night against the Jets, completing 12 of 18 passes for 236 yards and four touchdowns in his first start since the 2011 season finale. Over the previous four seasons, Moore threw for 219 yards and one touchdown.

“Matt prepares like he’s the starting quarterback,” Dolphins receiver Jarvis Landry said. “Every week he has done that. For him to come in and play with the confidence he played with, to a lot of people that was unexpected, but for us it was something we already knew.”

Miami relied on its running game to come back and beat Buffalo, 28-25, at home in Week 8. Jay Ajayi had 214 of the Dolphins’ 256 rushing yards.

“They punched us in the mouth the first game,” Buffalo defensive lineman Leger Douzable said.

Ajayi rushed for 529 yards during the first three contests of the six-game winning streak that turned around the Dolphins’ season. He’s struggled a bit lately, totaling 205 yards over his last four games.

Miami defensive end Mario Williams will make his return to Buffalo for the first time since he was released in the offseason. Williams played four seasons for the Bills after signing what was the richest contract for a defensive player in NFL history in 2012, but clashed with coach Rex Ryan in his final season.

“We need to win one game at a time, no matter who the opponents are,” Williams said. “I’m not the type of person to be hooting and hollering about anything other than us winning the game.”

The Bills (7-7) have not been eliminated from playoff contention but need to win their final two games and get a lot of help in a bid to end their 16-year postseason drought, the longest in the NFL.

“We’re just going to have to do our best to win our games,” Ryan said. “We have two games left and this one in particular, like I say, hottest team in football, so bring it on.”

Ryan could also be coaching for his job the final two weeks – if ownership has not already decided to make a coaching change after the season, as multiple reports have suggested.

“It doesn’t really matter to me,” Ryan said. “My job’s to coach the football team and that’s what I’m going to do and there’s no focus anywhere else. This is it. I truly believe we’re going to play a great game, and we’ll see if it’s good enough.”

The Bills were 4-2 and held an 11-point lead entering the fourth quarter of their loss at Miami.

“If you look at the two storylines,” Bills quarterback Tyord Taylor said, “both of them are flipped. They went on a run kind of after they played us, and we lost two more games after that going into the bye.”

Taylor also appears to be on thin ice in Buffalo. The Bills must decide by March whether to pick up the option on a five-year, $90 million contract extension that guarantees Taylor more than $30 million over the first two seasons.

Tannehill, linebacker Jelani Jenkins (knee/hand) and cornerback Byron Maxwell (ankle) did not practice for Miami on Wednesday. Safety Abdul-Quddus (ankle), linebacker Kiko Alonso (hamstring/hand), and cornerback Bobby McCain (knee/hand) were limited. Williams (ankle) and guard Jermon Bushrod (shoulder) were full partcipants.

The Bills had three players miss practice: defensive tackle Kyle Williams (back), linebacker Lerentee McCray (concussion) and offensive tackle Jordan Mills (illness).

Wideout Sammy Watkins (foot), former Dolphins tight end Charles Clay (knee), linebacker Preston Brown (foot), fullback Jerome Felton (foot), left tackle Cordy Glenn (back), linebacker Jerry Hughes (hamstring), guard John Miller (hip) and defensive tackle Jerel Worthy (shoulder) were limited. Taylor (groin), running back LeSean McCoy (knee) and linebacker Shaq Lawson (foot) were limited.

Cleveland Browns vs. Buffalo Bills
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 18, 2016
Where: New Era Field, Orchard Park, New York

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS.
LINE: Bills -10.
O/U: 41.5
PREDICTION: Buffalo 30, Cleveland 14

Oddsmakers currently have the Bills listed as 10½-point favorites versus the Browns, while the game’s total is sitting at 41½.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — The Buffalo Bills are all but assured of extending the NFL’s longest playoff drought. They are adamant about avoiding another dubious distinction — becoming the first team in 2016 to lose to the Cleveland Browns.

“We ain’t gonna be that team,” Bills defensive tackle Marcell Dareus said Wednesday. “That’s just a guarantee.”

The Bills (6-7) and Browns (0-13) resume their Rust Belt rivalry on Sunday at New Era Field. Interest in the game is low, evidenced by tickets selling on the secondary market for as low as $7. But players on both teams are using the Browns’ winless record as motivation.

“When a team loses almost every game, it comes that question, who will be the team that they will beat,” Bills running back LeSean McCoy said. “You never want to be that team.”

Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III said, “Everyone’s trying to kick us when we’re down, so we just have to go take it. We’re going to get everybody’s best shot because nobody wants to lose to us.”

Griffin is also trying to prove that he is still a viable starting quarterback. He struggled last week in his first start since returning from a fractured shoulder in the season opener, posting a 38.4 passer rating in the 23-10 loss to Cincinnati.

But coach Hue Jackson is not yet ready to give up on Griffin.

“I am going to work through it and see where we are,” Jackson said. “That is the whole part of him playing, so we can evaluate where we are and have a good feel about it when the season is over. … Let’s go through this week and see where he is and see if he improved or not before we just write him off.”

As long as the Bills have even the slightest chance of making the playoffs, coach Rex Ryan won’t write off his quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, either.

Buffalo ranks last in the NFL in passing and management is reportedly ready to move on from Taylor after this season. The Bills have until March to decide whether to pick up the option on a contract signed before the season. Under terms of the deal, Taylor would be guaranteed more than $30 million in the next two seasons, or release the embattled quarterback and owe him nothing.

“The reason he’s our starting quarterback is, in my opinion, he gives us the best chance to win,” Ryan said. “And that’s what we signed up for. We’re trying to win these games.”

The Bills have lost two in a row and even if they run the table to finish 9-7 for just the third time this century, they are unlikely to overcome their 12th place standing in the AFC to claim a Wild Card spot.

“Until they officially announce us out or dead or whatever in the playoffs, we are going to try whatever it takes to win these games,” Ryan said. “We may have a one percent chance, or less than that, I don’t know, but we are still going for it.”

Once eliminated from the playoffs, Ryan may be more inclined to get backup quarterbacks E.J. Manuel and rookie Cardale Jones on the field.

Ryan will pick Buffalo’s starting quarterback for another week, at least, but his own job security is as tenuous as Taylor’s.

Bills players have even begun to speculate on what changes will be made once the Bills officially miss the playoffs for the 17th year in a row.

“Of course guys sit there and talk and wonder what the situation is going to be,” wide receiver Sammy Watkins said. “We know if we lose what the situation is going to be like. And for me, I’m trying to be here forever. I’m not trying to start over a whole team in free agency. So my job is to really go out there and sell out and try to win for myself, for my name, and for this team. If anybody else isn’t thinking that way, then that’s a problem.”

Watkins missed practice Wednesday due to lingering soreness in his surgically-repaired foot, but is expected to play. Defensive tackle Kyle Williams (back), left tackle Cordy Glenn (back), tight end Charles Clay (knee) and linebacker Lorenzo Alexander (rest) also did not practice.

Left tackle Joe Thomas (knee) did not practice for Cleveland, but is expcted to play. Wide receiver Ricardo Louis (thumb), defensive tackle Jamie Meder (thigh) and defensive back Jamar Taylor (groin) were limited.

Cleveland claimed rookie running back Darius Jackson off waivers from Dallas on Wednesday and released linebacker Corey Lemonier.

Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Buffalo Bills
When: 1:00 PM ET, Sunday, December 11, 2016
Where: New Era Field, Orchard Park, New York

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS. LINE: Steelers -2. O/U: 46.5
PREDICTION: Steelers 27, Bills 20

Oddsmakers currently have the Steelers listed as 3-point favorites versus the Bills, while the game’s total is sitting at 45½.

ABOUT THE BILLS (6-6): Quarterback Tyrod Taylor walked away from the podium during Wednesday’s media conference amid questions of his future with his numbers dipping across the board, but he received staunch support from his coach. “I just think it is easy to sit back and be critical, but if you are playing without five receivers in the game … I think it is going to affect you,” Ryan said. Barring any setbacks, Taylor could have both his top two wide receivers — Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods — in the lineup for the first time since Week 2 to complement running back LeSean McCoy, who is coming off consecutive 100-yard games. The bigger worry for Ryan and the Bills is a defense that surrendered 29 unanswered points to the Raiders.

Buffalo Stats:
Team record: 6-6 SU,5-6-1 ATS
Buffalo is 1-4-1 ATS in its last 6 games
Buffalo is 2-4 SU in its last 6 games
The total has gone OVER in 7 of Buffalo’s last 8 games

ABOUT THE STEELERS (7-5): With Ben Roethlisberger at the helm of a high-powered attack that features running back Le’Veon Bell and wide receiver Antonio Brown, Pittsburgh’s offense typically garners the headlines. However, a much-maligned defense that was pierced for 113 points during the four-game skid has answered the bell during the winning streak, allowing a total of 30 points and holding the New York Giants to one touchdown until the final minute of last week’s 24-14 victory. “There’s no time to slap ourselves on the back,” cautioned 38-year-old linebacker James Harrison, part of a unit that has registered 13 sacks in the past three games. Tight end Ladarius Green has bolstered the offense with six catches for 110 yards and a TD last week.
Pittsburgh was a 24-14 winner in its last match at home against the Giants. They covered the -6.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 38 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

Pittsburgh Stats:
Team record: 7-5 SU,7-5 ATS
Current Streak: won 3 straight games.
The total has gone UNDER in 7 of Pittsburgh’s last 8 games
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Pittsburgh’s last 5 games on the road
Pittsburgh is 9-1 ATS in its last 10 games when playing Buffalo

EXTRA POINTS
1. Brown needs seven receptions to break the record by Marvin Harrison for most catches (469) during any four-year span.
2. Bills backup RB Mike Gillislee has rushed for six touchdowns in the past seven games.
3. Tomlin can become the eighth coach in history with 100 wins in their first eight seasons.

Clay did not practice this week because of a knee injury and was listed as questionable to play Sunday against the Raiders.

If Clay does not play, Nick O’Leary will start at tight end for the Bills and Christian will be his backup.

Christian has played in two games for Buffalo this season and has been inactive for three games. He has not caught a pass.

To make room for Christian, the Bills released kickoff specialist Jordan Gay.

Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Buffalo Bills
When: 11/27/2016 1:00 PM
Where: New Era Field, Orchard Park, New York

TV: 1 p.m. ET, CBS.
LINE: Bills -7.5.
O/U: 45.
PREDICTION: Buffalo 34, Jacksonville 31

Oddsmakers currently have the Bills listed as 7½-point favorites versus the Jaguars, while the game’s total is sitting at 45.

It has been nearly two years since Doug Marrone opted out of coaching the Buffalo Bills. Now the offensive line and assistant head coach in Jacksonville, Marrone makes his return to Western New York on Sunday when the Jaguars face the Bills at New Era Field.

“I hope it’s a miserable experience,” current Bills coach Rex Ryan said. “We want to win, man. Our fans, this is as loyal a fan base as there is, so we want to create that miserable day for people, and the fans are a big part of it.”

This has been a miserable for the Jaguars (2-8), who have lost five straight and will miss the postseason for the ninth straight year.

“Same old story, same old script, every week,” cornerback Jalen Ramsey said after last week’s 26-19 loss to Denver. “It’s been frustrating, but it’s really getting extremely frustrating.”

That frustration has been accompanied by questions about the job security of coach Gus Bradley, whose 14-44 record in three-plus seasons is the second-worst winning percentage (.241) by any coach in NFL history.

Bradley told the Buffalo media on a conference call this week that he only hears criticism of his performance, “when guys like you bring it up.”

Ryan, like Marrone before him, has faced criticism in Buffalo, despite winning as many games as he has lost since the start of last season. The Bills (5-5) snapped a three-game losing streak with a 16-12 win in Cincinnati last season, keeping alive their hopes of ending their 16-season playoff drought, the longest in the NFL.

Buffalo can improve to 6-5 for just the second time since 2009 and third time since 2001.

“We need this game in the worst way,” Ryan said. “This game is far too important for us not to put everything into it, and the preparations got to be tight.”

The Bills offense has been depleted by injuries but could be bolstered soon by the return of star wideout Sammy Watkins, who has missed the last seven games due to pain in his surgically-repaired foot. Watkins remains on injured reserve, but Ryan is hopeful he can play Sunday.

“If I’m healthy enough to play and they think I’m healthy, then I’m going to be out there,” Watkins said. “I’m not going to go out there unhealthy.”

Buffalo will be without its other starting receiver, Robert Woods (knee), while running back LeSean McCoy (thumb) is expected to play after undergoing surgery on Sunday night.

On defense, Pro Bowl lineman Marcell Dareus appears to be healthy — and rounding into football shape — after missing eight of the first nine games due to suspension and injuries to his hamstring and groin.

Emotionally, the Bills are still healing from 34-31 loss to the Jaguars in London last season.

“It left a bad taste in our mouth,” guard Richie Incognito said. “We definitely aren’t overlooking them.”

Ryan called the Jaguars, “the best two-win team I’ve ever seen.”

The Jaguars do have the No. 7 ranked defense but lead the NFL but have the least takeaways (five) and the most giveaways (22). Quarterback Blake Bortles has been intercepted in eight of 10 games and is tied with the Jets’ Ryan Fitzpatrick for the most interceptions in the league (13).

Bortles is dealing with a sprained right throwing shoulder but doesn’t expect that to keep him out of the lineup. “I’ll be ready to go Sunday,” he said.

Running back T.J. Yeldon (ankle) is less likely to play, and the Jaguars could also be without defensive end Jared Odrick (shoulder), cornerback Aaron Colvin (concussion), linebacker Dan Skuta (back) and Abry Jones (ankle). Tight end Mercedes Lewis (calf) and left guard Patrick Omameh (foot) were placed on injured reserve this week.

A winning record may not be possible, but the Jaguars are still hoping to string together wins down the stretch.

“There is no sense in folding up shot and getting ready for next year,” Bortles said. “We’ve got six more games to play and a chance to go 8-8. … I think the guys are excited about the opportunity. Not excited about where we’re at, but excited to have six more chances.”

PREDICTION: Dolphins 23, Bills 20

Oddsmakers currently have the Bills listed as 2-point favorites versus the Dolphins, while the game’s total is sitting at 44.

Ryan Tannehill enjoyed a rare occurrence last week as the 28-year-old wasn’t sacked and was pressured on just six percent of dropbacks versus the Steelers — a far cry from the 32 percent in his previous five. Tannehill continues to rely on trusted wideout Jarvis Landry (NFL second-best 41 receptions), who leads the league in market share of his team’s passing game with 31.3 percent of Miami’s targets. The 23-year-old Landry reeled in nine catches in both outings versus Buffalo last season. Miami was a 30-15 winner in its last match at home against the Steelers. They covered the +7.5-point spread as underdogs, while the total score of 45 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

Team record: 2-4 SU,2-4 ATS
Miami is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games
Miami is 3-7 SU in its last 10 games
The total has gone UNDER in 6 of Miami’s last 9 games

Quarterback Tyrod Taylor threw two touchdown passes in each of his last two contests for Buffalo, which is looking to secure its first five-game winning streak since 2004. The Miami native is 2-0 with four touchdowns, no interceptions and a 145.0 QB rating against the Dolphins, but his receiving corps could take a different look on Sunday. Wideout Robert Woods was in a walking boot and missed practice on Thursday to put his availability in jeopardy, while Marquise Goodwin and Justin Hunter would expect to take the majority of snaps at receiver if he cannot play. The Bills were a 45-16 winner in their most recent outing at home against the 49ers. They covered the -7.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score (61) made winners of OVER bettors.

Oddsmakers currently have the Patriots listed as 1½-point favorites versus the Bills, while the game’s total is sitting at 45.

Ryan has reason to be confident after Buffalo manhandled the other AFC finalists from a season ago, the Indianapolis Colts, in a 27-14 victory in Week 1. The defense was a big part of that success, but the offense was firing on all cylinders as well behind Tyrod Taylor, who went 14-of-19 for 195 yards and a touchdown while adding 41 yards on the ground after winning the starting quarterback job in camp. “Each week is going to be a challenge, and I’m confident in my guys to go out there and take the challenge head on,” Taylor told reporters. “We’re confident as a team and we’re just going to go out there and play ball.”

The Bills were a 27-14 winner in their most recent outing at home against the Colts. They covered the +1-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (41) made winners of UNDER bettors.

Team record: 1-0 SU,1-0 ATS
Buffalo is 6-1 ATS in its last 7 games
Buffalo is 5-2 SU in its last 7 games
The total has gone UNDER in 8 of Buffalo’s last 9 games
Buffalo is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games at home

Quarterback Tom Brady is used to hearing Ryan talk in the week leading up to games and takes the jabs in stride. “The games are won by what you do over the course of the week and how you go about your preparation so that you can be prepared for the game on Sunday,” Brady told reporters. “He’s a great coach. He’s obviously got them confident.” Brady, who said the Bills had “probably the best D-line in football,” showed no signs of any wear in his game following a summer spent defending his reputation and completed 19 passes in a row at one point en route to a 25-of-32, 288-yard, four-TD performance in the opener.

New England won its last outing, a 28-21 result against the Steelers on September 10. The Patriots earned a push in that game as a -7-point favorite, while the 49 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

Oddsmakers currently have the Colts listed as 2½-point favorites versus the Bills, while the game’s total is sitting at 47½.

Taylor is capable of making plays with his legs as well as his arm but should have both McCoy (hamstring) and rookie Karlos Williams (undisclosed) available to take on some of the pressure in the running game. “I feel like the medical staff has done a good job of preparing me so far,” McCoy told reporters. “Practicing, I’ve just been doing light loads, each day doing more and more. I feel comfortable. I’m not sure if I’ll be exactly 100 percent (on Sunday), but I feel good enough to go out there and compete.” McCoy ran for 2,962 yards and 14 TDs in his final two seasons with Philadelphia while adding 80 receptions.

Last time out for Buffalo, they were a 17-9 winner as they battled the Patriots on the road. The Bills covered in the match as a +4.5-point underdog, while 26 combined points moved the game UNDER for totals bettors.

Team record: 9-7 SU,9-7 ATS
Buffalo is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games

Luck and the offense can carry the team only so far, and the defense took a big hit in the preseason when starting defensive tackle Arthur Jones (ankle) was placed on season-ending injured reserve. Indianapolis is breaking in a pair of rookies along that line in defensive end Henry Anderson and tackle David Parry while hoping outside linebacker Robert Mathis continues to defy Father Time. “These guys are going to go and they’re going to play hard and they’re going to play tough and they’re going to play damn smart,” head coach Chuck Pagano told reporters regarding Anderson and Parry. “Feel great about that group.”

In their last action, Indianapolis was a 45-7 loser on the road against the Patriots. They failed to cover the +7-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (52) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.
