Defensive tackle Derrick Brown among players held out of preseason game at Buffalo.

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Defensive tackle Derrick Brown and outside linebacker Patrick Jones II aren’t going to play in Saturday’s preseason game against the Bills, despite practicing last week.

Brown only recently returned to practice after taking a few days off with knee soreness.

Jones missed practice earlier this week with an illness, and head coach Dave Canales said they’d be careful not to put any undue strain on him as he recovered.
