‘”We’ve kind of got hit with the injury bug here,” said McDermott. “That affects availability, that affects some of the development, building the trust especially if you are a new player, right… We’ve had to cut back on some of the third group reps over the last week or so and we may have to do the same today.”‘

Five things to watch at Bills minicamp
‘Let’s call it like it is: Miller was a shell of himself last year. Coming off knee surgery to repair a torn ACL, the 35-year-old barely contributed. The Bills need that to change in 2024. Buffalo lost edge rusher Leonard Floyd in free agency to the 49ers. Floyd led the team with 10.5 sacks last year. It’s a necessity that Miller provides a good chunk of that lost production.’
Opinion: Capaccio: One question facing each phase of the Bills as the team begins minicamp
‘n are Curtis Samuel, Keon Coleman, Mack Hollins, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Chase Claypool, and KJ Hamler. At least two of these wideouts will have to play a significant role for the passing game in 2024, along with returning third-year receiver Khalil Shakir. The others will be fighting for spots on the depth chart and, if they make the team, expected to contribute.’
From Lancaster, to UB and now the Bills, Depew native Joe Andreessen is living Buffalo football dream
‘”When I signed, coach [Neil] Herman from UB, he texted me like ‘a lot of kids grow up dreaming about playing for the Bills, but I don’t know one who has'” says Andreessen. “So that kind of stuck with me when he sent me that text message. Sometimes you don’t take a second to think about it and look at the moment, but I definitely have. Sometimes you lose it in the day-to-day.”‘

‘”I feel like year after year, there’s no, ‘Oh, I did this good.’ Because every single season is kind of like a new life in a video game,” Rousseau shared. “So, you got to go out there and earn it whether it’s in the run or the pass. I’ve got to get better at everything.”‘

New Bills aide Jahmile Addae finds chance to lead young men even better in NFL than college
‘“I had a heart episode and went into somewhat of a cardiac arrest,” Addae said. “There was an arrhythmia issue. The Terre Haute Heart institute, which is the No. 1 heart institute in the country, I believe, is actually right across the street from where we were practicing. They literally wheeled me across. I wake up, all the pads are cut down the middle, and there was an old guy, kind of like Mr. Miyagi (from the movie “Karate Kid”), and he was rubbing on my feet asking if I had feeling. At that point in time, I knew I was done playing.”’
