How Bills linebacker Tyrel Dodson finds calm after intense practices

‘Dodson started meditating about a week and a half ago, based off a suggestion from safety Jordan Poyer. For the first few days, he did it in the locker room. That presented an obvious obstacle to the otherwise calming practice. “It’s loud. So, I was like, let me just see if I can do it on the grass,” he said. “And I’ve been doing on the grass, laying down and just collecting my thoughts. … Just being thankful for today.”’

Observations: Dog days of camp preparing Bills for regular season

‘“It’s a mindset and want-to,” defensive tackle DaQuan Jones told The Buffalo News. “Back-to-back days in pads, you have to remember why you’re out here and what you’re striving for. You can get caught up in the moment sometimes say, ‘This (stuff) is tough,’ and weakness of the mind comes in. But in between periods, we talk about why we’re doing this and it makes it go a lot better.”’

Bills’ Boogie Basham shines in preseason with back against the wall for roster spot

‘Basham was in on three tackles including a sack, and he was a menace on several of the 19 snaps he played. On one first-quarter snap he stuffed Colts running back Evan Hull on a third-and-2 and on the next play Damar Hamlin stopped Hull to create a turnover on downs. Later, he sacked Gardner Minshew for a loss of six yards, and he tackled Jake Funk on a run play that gained only a yard.’

Josh’s Jaqs was created in part by PLB Sports and Entertainment, a Pittsburgh-based company that works with some of the world’s greatest athletes and entertainers to create a premier line of superior quality food products that also help raise money for various local charities.’

Bills 53-man roster projection: How to put finishing touches on a title team

‘Jordan Mims showed a few good pass-protection reps in the preseason opener while looking like a natural as a pass-catcher with two receptions for 30 yards to go with his seven carries for 23 yards. He could sneak his way onto the back of the roster. But for now, the Bills put him on the practice squad — largely because they need space over on defense for their depth.’

Rapp has already taken to playing for the Bills

‘Rapp started 48 out of the 57 games he played with the Rams and has nine career interceptions. When Rapp was looking for some place to play, he liked what he saw in Buffalo. He said he had admired Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde from afar, but it was more than that, “I’ve always had respect for what coach McDermott and Brandon Beane have been building here and just going back to free agency, me just being able to find the right culture and the right team that not only fits me as a football player, but also from a cultural perspective.’
