‘There has been, and continues to be, a lot of speculation surrounding the Bills and Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz. His situation in Philly doesn’t appear to be resolved and many still think the Bills are a fit and would pursue adding him either via trade or if he’s ultimately released. That’s not to say the Bills don’t like this group of players. They do, and Knox has shown to be perfectly capable in the lead role. Hollister is a valuable addition, as well. However, but a talent like Ertz may be too tough to resist for a team that has Super Bowl aspirations, if the price is right.’

‘This signing comes as all of Buffalo’s rookies will report for training camp on Tuesday in Orchard Park. The rest of the Bills roster will report to camp next Tuesday, while training camp officially opens next Wednesday, July 28 with the first practice at 10 a.m. ET.’

‘Tuesday, Aug. 31 — Teams must reduce rosters to a maximum of 53 players on the Active/Inactive List by 4 p.m. ET. Also by that time, teams that have players in the categories of Active/Physically Unable to Perform or Active/Non-Football Injury or Illness must select one of the following options for each of those players…’.

‘The Bills currently have three open roster spots.’

‘The team announced on Thursday it will open training camp with the first practice taking place on Wednesday, July 28. Most practices during training camp will be closed to the public.’

‘”Josh has just done such an incredible job. He’s wired the right way,” McDermott said. “He puts a lot of time and effort, when he’s away from us, in honing his craft and the work he puts in with Jordan Palmer. Every year Josh has come back from the time off, he’s gotten better. He’s worked on a couple of aspects of his game, and so this year has been no different to this point. Now that he’s been away from us and as we head into camp, I’m anxious to see how he looks again and how he’s improved in the time we’ve been apart over the last four or five weeks.”‘

‘”Let’s go, Buffalo! Having worked for the team for three years, I know how passionate and hungry Bills fans are for a championship — especially after the agonizing four consecutive Super Bowl losses in the early 1990s. Some other fan bases need one, as well (see: Cleveland), but after last year’s AFC Championship Game appearance and having one of the NFL’s brightest stars in Josh Allen, the Bill-lief is sky-high and can’t be crushed again.”‘

‘They’ve also placed defensive end Bryan Cox, Jr., on Injured Reserve with an Achilles injury.’

‘The team will release more specific protocols at a later date, but have noted that masks will still be required for unvaccinated individuals, in accordance with CDC guidelines.’

‘”Considering it takes three-to-five years to develop an NFL facility from design to construction, the Bills would need to sign an extension at their current stadium, which opened in 1973 and stands among the league’s oldest venues,” reports Venues Now.’

‘After the practice, the team announced it has canceled what would have been their third practice on Thursday.’

‘Lotulelei’s defensive linemates Jerry Hughes, Mario Addison, and Vernon Butler, as well as running back Taiwan Jones – all of whom didn’t show up for any voluntary OTAs – were also all in attendance as the Bills worked out under the bright sun, just outside the ADPRO Spots Training Center for a couple of hours.’

‘These minicamp practices will provide a chance for the entire offensive and defensive units to be on the field and everyone working together again for the first time since their AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs back on Jan. 24.’

‘Wide receivers Stefon Diggs, Emmanuel Sanders, and Isaiah McKenzie, defensive linemen Star Lotulelei, Jerry Hughes, Vernon Butler, and Mario Addison, safety Jaquan Johnson, running back Taiwan Jones, and offensive lineman Jordan Devey were all not seen and presumed absent.’

‘There’s been no announcement made yet, as far as whether or not fans will be allowed to attend.’
