‘With as hot as this summer has been, you can telling watching camp that these players are tired of hitting each other, McDermott said, “We’re looking forward to playing, we get to this point of training camp and some of the skirmishes start to break out, guys are getting a little ornery and it’s time to go against another opponent.”’

‘At safety, while there are injuries to both Mike Edwards and Cole Bishop, Damar Hamlin is listed as a starter along with Taylor Rapp. Interestingly, although both Bishop and Edwards are considered week-to-week, Bishop is listed with the second team, along with Cam Lewis. But Edwards is behind him in the third pairing, with Kareem Jackson.’

‘“Yes and no, it doesn’t really make a difference for me at this point of my career, so to get things rolling would be nice, but I understand not getting out there making sure that we’re being healthy and being protective, so it’s a double edged sword any way you look at it, so if I’m asked to play, I’ll play and if I’m told not to play, I won’t play.”‘

‘”There’s always change, right? No teams the same. I would say this year there was probably more eye opening names that we lost, either due to the business side of it, people got paid, or we moved on, or just Father Time, or whatever it is, we knew what we were walking into. This year was a little bit bigger year of a cap number we were prepared for it. Is it fun? No, it stinks to lose a lot of the names that have helped you set your foundation and been here for a lot of the success that we’ve had. So you know, it is time, and I think transition is a fair word.”‘

‘On Monday, practice was moved up to start an hour earlier due to possible inclement weather later in the morning. The rain did come during the second half of practice, coming down pretty hard for about ten minutes. Players and coaches stayed on the field and worked through it.’

‘“I think it’s going really well right now, me and Josh are getting comfortable with each other. For a while he was used to how Mitch snapped it. Mitch tended to snap it to his left and Josh was used to it, so this whole off-season we’ve been working at it and I think we’re finally starting to jell together.”’

‘It was the first chance for the fans to see the improvement in Kaiir Elam. The Bills 2022 first-round pick has had an excellent training camp and is looking more like the guy the Bills thought they were drafting.’

‘”It felt great,” said rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman. “I’m happy they showed up. Gave them a little something. Next week is going to be even better.”‘

‘Coaches keep saying Milano is getting better every day, as he continues to recover from a broken leg in Week 5 that ended last season early for him. It doesn’t appear to be just “coach speak”. Milano seemingly makes a play every practice that gets attention.’

‘”Plays that I would have ran when I was calling plays at LSU would have no shot at working in nowadays football, both schematically but also understanding the type of quarterback that you have. The defenses are changing,” said Brady while appearing on the “Jeremy and Joe Show” on Thursday at Bills training camp. “Also, they’re changing how they’re playing elite quarterbacks like Josh, so the difference, the style of play from 2020 to now is very different.”‘

‘Then during training camp in 2023, Bernard was able to win the starting middle linebacker job, where he went on to start all 17 regular season games. He had three interceptions and three fumble recoveries, while also registering 6.5 sacks and nine quarterback hits to go with 143 total tackles.

‘Burgess, 25, was an undrafted free agent signing of the Los Angeles Rams out of the University of Utah back in 2020. He spent parts of three seasons with the Rams, which included a Super Bowl ring during his 2021 season.’

‘In his first day of pads after a veteran rest day on Monday, Miller clearly had his best practice so far of camp at St. John Fisher University.’

‘The good news, though, is the Bills say Anderson spoke with the team’s medical staff, general manager Brandon Beane and head coach Sean McDermott by phone a short time after being taken to the hospital, and seemed to be in good spirits.’

‘The Bills announced on Tuesday the signing of safety Kareem Jackson to a one-year contract. TO make room for Jackson on the roster, the Bills have released linebacker Shayne Simon.’
