Rochester Democrat and Chronicle

‘It was serious enough that a cart was brought onto the field and he was driven to the locker room as he could not put any weight on the ankle. Shavers is in a difficult fight to win a roster spot because of all the veterans in front of him on the depth chart and any missed time his a detriment.’

‘“In the past, growing up young, I may have let some of those moments of always having to switch up kind of affect me, trying to get adjusted to other quarterbacks, and then maybe that guy getting hurt, too,” Moore said. “Just the ramble of things kind of affected me. So now, since I’ve been through that three, four times, now I feel like it’s just be ready for whatever.”’

‘Williams – who was wearing braces on his left arm and knee during the first two practices – went down during Thursday and did not return to practice, though no one knew why. On Friday, the Bills said he hurt his calf and would not practice, and he was on the sidelines wearing a boot on his right foot so he could be down for a few days.’

‘Now, in what seems like a last-ditch effort to prolong his career, he’s back in Buffalo, he’s healthy, and not only is there almost no doubt that he’s going to make the team, he may very well be a starter in Week 1 when Buffalo hosts the Ravens on Sunday Night Football.’

‘Bosa spoke to reporters after the first day and said, “The body is perfectly fine. Calf is no issue anymore. I was feeling good weeks ago and I feel great coming into camp. It’s fun to be out there again. Obviously you’ve got to knock the rust off as usual during camp – cut down the mental errors, first day jitters a little bit, but it was a good day.”’

‘“I think right now in training camp, that’s part of the process of seeing that out,” offensive coordinator Joe Brady said before practice. “We clearly have a vision for when we bring them here of what we think it’s going to look like, but sometimes that’s just the mindset of what they’ve shown on tape with the skill set that we think they have.”‘

‘There is no parking at St. John Fisher University. Shuttle buses are available from Jefferson Road Elementary (15 School Lane, Pittsford); Sutherland High School (55 Sutherland St., Pittsford); and Thornell Road Elementary (431 Thornell Road, Pittsford).’

‘Obviously, many of the cameras were focused on quarterback Josh Allen, the reigning NFL MVP, and beyond that, Allen was one of the players wearing a microphone so that was an added dimension he had to deal with.’

‘Coach Sean McDermott said tight end Dawson Knox is dealing with a hamstring injury, offensive tackle Spencer Brown still has lingering back problems, wide receiver Laviska Shenault has a lower leg strain, and offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran-Granger has a calf injury.’

‘Just how much they love him, at least as it pertains to the business side of the NFL, is yet to be determined because as he began practice Wednesday on opening day of training camp at St. John Fisher University, he remains in contract limbo with no contract extension in sight.’

‘In a statement to the Bills website, Bills Chief Operating Officer and Rochester native Pete Guelli said, “There’s no better way to celebrate our fans and honor our team’s history by bringing back the red helmets. The Bills provided this region with some of the most incredible moments in franchise history in the 1990s wearing these helmets and we feel this is a great way to commemorate the closing of Highmark Stadium in our regular season finale.”’

‘Tight end Dawson Knox was placed on the non-football injury list while offensive tackle Spencer Brown and offensive lineman Sedrick Van Pran-Granger will start practice on the physically unable to perform list. There were not reasons provided for why those moves were made but coach Sean McDermott will be meeting with reporters Wednesday morning before the first practice and will likely provide the details.’

‘The Bills’ practices are held primarily on the grass field at the Polisseni Complex which is behind Growney Stadium. There is grandstand seating on the near side, and bleacher seating on the far side, plus ample areas to stand. All practice times are subject to change.’

‘Here’s my annual pre-training camp positional breakdown of the team as it enters the first leg of summer preparation including which 53 players I think will be on the Opening Day roster…’.

‘Facilities open one hour before practice begins. Have your mobile ticket ready to scan to expedite the entry process. Fans will pass through a metal detector. All belongings are subject to search and may prompt a more thorough search if deemed necessary by security.’
