‘The rookie was finishing a run during a two-minute drill when the hit occured. Trainers attended to him before Losman was carted off.’

‘Vincent told WGR that the collision between he and Losman was purely accidental and that he would never do anything intentionally to harm a teammate.’

‘Rookie quarterback J.P. Losman has suffered a broken leg and will be out indefinitely. Such injuries typically require a recovery time of 8-12 weeks.’

‘During the play, Losman ran around end only to be hit with a hard shoulder from veteran Troy Vincent. Losman had to be helped to his feet, but clearly was in pain. Vincent said after practice that the hit was not intentional.’

First-round draft choice J.P. Losman, the heir apparent to Drew Bledsoe’s starting job with the Buffalo Bills, will likely miss at least the first half of his rookie season, after the quarterback suffered a fractured left fibula during a Tuesday practice session.
