'CB Ronald Darby left the playing field early-on and stood on the sidelines for the rest of practice. McDermott said afterward he is day-to-day with an ankle injury. He said WR Brandon Tate is also day-to-day with a calf injury and that DE Ian Seau’s foot was still being evaluated. Sean was seen after practice in a walking boot.'

'"He puts the team first. He wants to play special teams, which he's a phenomenal special teams player and that really typifies our football team," McDermott continued. "In terms of unselfish, he's going to do whatever's asked. He understand the importance of special teams and how important winning games is."'

'Defensive end Jerry Hughes continued his yearly assault on Bills training camp practices on the third day of work. Year in and year out, he has been one of the absolute best players at practice for the Bills — clearly putting his talent on display.'

'“Anytime players miss time you get concerned,” said McDermott. “But I’m going to stay positive and he’s done a great job of being in shape at this point in camp and has really handled things well. We’ll see how this unfolds. We’ll attack the treatment the way we would attack any treatment and try to get him back on the field as soon as possible.”'

'“He’s done a nice job,” said head coach Sean McDermott. “He came in in the back third of the offseason and did a nice job acclimating himself to our system and really put the team first which to me is important. He’s played multiple positions both outside and inside. He’s got more history inside in the 3-4 there in San Fran. He’s a physical football player. We do need that attitude on the defense and we’re looking for that from him and other players on the defense and this football team.”'

'“Anquan is a good football player, certainly a well-established football player in this league,” said McDermott. “We all know that. I had a nice visit with Anquan. We’re always going to look to add good football players, no different in this case.”'

'Cordy Glenn made a pit stop on his way to Bills Training Camp, presented by Connors & Ferris, this year, at Riverdale High school in Riverdale, Georgia to drop off cleats to the Riverdale Raiders. Glenn, a Riverdale alumni, began his career on the Raiders as a two-way lineman before he attended University of Georgia and was later drafted by the Buffalo Bills. Ninety pairs of Nike cleats were given to the Raiders football program for the players to use this season.'

'“As now a GM – one of 32 – you know how hard it was for him to get there, how long it took, and it was tough to see (but) it’s the business we’re in. We understand that when we sign up for it, you’re not the owner. You’re the GM and it’s their call when it’s time to make a change.”'
