‘”Some of these players have not been in our home locker room, don’t know our operation the morning of the game type of situation, and have never gone through that routine. That gives them a chance to get into the home locker room,” said McDermott on Thursday during his meeting with the assembled media in Pittsford.’

‘Diggs is routinely the target of quarterback Josh Allen, as he has been in games for the past three seasons, and just as he has over that time, either finds a way to separate from the defense, or make a grab that looks like he won’t be able to.’

‘”I have that overall goal in my mind, and it’s sitting up there at the top, but win the current day [first],” said Dawkins on Tuesday during an appearance on the “Jeremy White Show” at Bills training camp. “Be where your feet is at, mind, body, and soul, and control what you can.”‘

‘”It’s another milestone,” said Hamlin following Monday’s practice. “We’ve been getting over hurdles just from everything as far as getting out of the hospital, to getting off of tubes, and all the way to running again. Not having oxygen all the way to OTAs, putting the helmet on, putting my cleats on, putting my gloves on, putting my mouthpiece in, putting shoulder pads on. It’s just another milestone in your journey.”‘

‘Cornerback Taron Johnson was defending, and as Allen stopped at the sideline, Johnson kept going to the ball and knocked him down. Allen laid on the ground for a brief moment, appeared to point to his stomach as if the wind was knocked out of him, got up and walked slowly over to the rest of the offense. He then took a knee and was smiling and laughing in between offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey and wide receiver Stefon Diggs.’

‘”At the beginning of my career, I’ve been making my way through the back door with special teams. I think that you know last year I had the opportunity to showcase what I can, do as far as receiving goes,” said Sherfield with Jeremy White and Joe DiBiase on Monday.’

‘It was another strong performance from rookie tight end Dalton Kincaid. From what we’ve seen through the first four practices, it’s apparent there may be plans for him to be a big part of the offense.’

‘”If I can persevere through something like last season, I can do anything,” Poyer said.’

‘The two had connected plenty of times over the first couple of sessions at St. John Fisher, but they took it to a different level on Friday.’

‘”When it first happened, I didn’t know what the outcome was going to be. I thought I was done,” said Hyde during his meeting with the media on Friday. “But I had a conversation with the doctor a couple of weeks ago, and the realization that it’s way better.”‘

‘According to Bills general manager Brandon Beane during an appearance on the “Jeremy White Show” on Friday, Dantzler tweak his hamstring in one of the opening practices of training camp that will be more than a minor issue.’

‘”As a military guy, I got real good at ‘tell me what the rules are and I’ll live by the rules’ so the league has put this rule in place and very good intent behind the rule, so it’s my job to figure out what’s the best way to follow the rule to the benefit of the Buffalo Bills.” Smiley said.’

‘”I think he showed that late in the season as he gained confidence, understood the pro game,” said Beane during an appearance on the “Jeremy White Show” on Friday from Bills training camp. “With him back there, he is a three-down back. We see him, he and Damien Harris probably competing right now to start.”‘

‘”I feel like hurting my ankle the way that I did, it was probably the worst one out of all of them just cause I had to miss a game,” said Davis in his meeting with the media on Thursday.’

‘On the second day of Buffalo Bills training camp here at St. John Fisher University, Terrel Bernard got his shot at middle linebacker with the first-team defense and Christian Benford got time cornerback with the first defense, opposite Tre’Davious White.’
