Bills HC Sean McDermott about to address the media for the first time since Anquan Boldin's retirement. Team practices afterward.


RB Jonathan Williams has a knee injury. Day to day. Ramon Humber and Marcell Dareus (quad) limited today.


Cordy Glenn is progressing and will be doing the walk-thru. On schedule for week one. Rod Streater - still week-to-week e v a l.


@ChrisBrownBills

McDermott: Jordan Matthews on schedule for week 1. Will do light work at practice. #Bills

 

@SalSports

McDermott says he's been around the league long enough to never be surprised about anything that happens and be ready to adjust.

 

@viccarucci

McDermott: "I still like (the WR) room. Opportunity for another guy to step up. NFL is a place for opportunity." #Bills


@MatthewFairburn

Sean McDermott mentioned Brandon Reilly and Daikiel Shorts as two young wide receivers who have flashed and now have an opportunity.


@JonScottTV

#Bills will have a leadership council during season, but hasn't been determined yet

 

@PrescottRossi

McDermott on leadership in the Bills locker room: "I lean on the Kyle Williams, the Lorenzo Alexanders, and the Eric Woods of this team."


@SalSports

McDermott says "it's a fair question" if Bills would have traded Sammy knowing Boldin's decision. But says "two separate entities."


@PrescottRossi

McDermott on notion TT is set up to fail: "Tyrod is extremly resilient... he embraces those types of situations."

 

@viccarucci

McDermott: "Like what Andre Holmes has done the past couple of weeks, the vertical game as well as physical game." #Bills

@SalSports

As far as who goes to slot - McDermott says they're looking at options. Mentions Jordan Matthews has done it most of career. Zay can, too

 

@JaySkurski

McDermott says the team "is always going to look" when asked about the possibility of adding a veteran wide receiver. #Bills

OC Rick Dennison was on field game 1. Was upstairs game 2. McDermott said they haven't decided yet where he will be in regular season.

 

@viccarucci

Asked whether Boldin must return $1M signing bonus to #Bills, McDermott says he is "not going to get into all that."


This is live on Facebook as well, fwiw...

@ChrisBrownBills

McDermott: we have to be adaptable. NFL is a test of how long people can hang together. We'll be tested. Have to be mentally tough. #Bills

Good to hear about Reilly & Shorts. I wouldn't be surprised if either one of them are on the final roster.

 

I'm concerned about this long evaluation of Streater.

 

There are other decent veteran WR's out there, and it wouldn't hurt to bring any of them in.

Thanks for this post. These are really helpful to get a quick insight into what's going on. Of course, it's all coach-speak, everything's positive. You know the day you hear something negative about a guy is the day he's gone. That doesn't happen much.

The most important news in these pressers is usually injury update news.

OT Glenn, WR Matthews "on schedule" to play in Bills' opener: http://www.wgr550.com/articles/news/ot-glenn-wr-matthews-schedule-play-bills-opener

IMO we should be sticking with Reilly & Shorts. Perhaps one makes it & the other goes to the PS.

Change is inevitable in the NFL. Sometimes it's also completely unexpected. Such was the case with the Anquan Boldin retirement, but head coach Sean McDermott says this league is about adapting.

i am okay with that. But I am better with a player who gets pushed off a roster because they are stacked.

 

Really like Shorts , but guessing PS is best
