‘”He’s going to be out for a while,” said head coach Doug Marrone. “We’re going to make sure we don’t work hard to get him back as fast as we possibly can. So he’s going to be out for a while and what I mean by a while, at least a week and then after that I’ll probably come out with something (new) and see where we are by then.”‘

‘Sinkfield entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Miami Dolphins following the 2013 NFL Draft and was released on May 28th. He then joined the Green Bay Packers on June 11th before being released on July 19th. The 6-0, 200-pound Northern Iowa product tallied 43 catches for 499 yards and four touchdowns in 10 starts as a senior in 2012. He totaled 76 receptions for 1,097 yards and 10 touchdowns in his collegiate career. Sinkfield will wear No. 86.’

‘Obviously today was our first time with the players having live contact and I was very pleased with that. We had a short-yardage session of it, a goal-line session of it and a four-minute session of it. Again, it’s always good to play or practice like we’re going to play. At times, the offense got on a roll. Sometimes the defense got on a roll. So it was good work against each other. One thing we have to do is be consistent, be ready to go right out from the snap on both sides of the ball. Obviously with Kevin [Kolb], Kevin slipped on his way transferring from field to field. He bumped his knee and he’ll just be day by day.’

Hopefully it is the same thing, just something that affects me for this amount of time and then when the season comes, I’ll be ready to go.’

‘Saturday’s practice brought out the first live contact of camp with short yardage and goal line work a focus at Bills training camp. After the defense had been controlling more of the play through the 11-on-11 team periods, the offense looked inspired after head coach Doug Marrone stepped into the huddle in between plays.’
