‘ Cook, who had been staging a “hold-in” over the status of his contract, appeared to participate fully in the session held on the outside grass of their practice facility.’

‘ “I think I’m in a good spot,” he said following Tuesday’s practice in Orchard Park. “I think that going and practicing against somebody [Friday in Chicago] when we’re not live, I think those are good reps to get. So no, I don’t think I need preseason reps, but if I were to get them, I’d appreciate them. But I don’t think it’s a situation where I need to get out there.”’

‘”Thought the guys fought hard to to stay in the game at times, and then and then mount a comeback at the end there. Really appreciate that. That said there’s a lot we can take from this game, both young and old, and coaches and players. So that’s really where you start with it. You go and look at the film, and there’ll be a lot to go through tomorrow when we get together.”‘

‘Buffalo was able to answer back with their first touchdown of the day. Trubisky was able to drive into the redzone with the help of running back Ty Johnson, where he found Dawson Knox for an 11-yard touchdown. Bringing the score to within three. Ray Davis was also able to score on the PAT.’

‘The Bills defense was awful against the screen pass. The Giants ran several of them which went for big yardage.’

‘White will have to make the most of his time with a more backup crew.’

‘”When I first got here, we were going through this whole kind of premium process, and everyone felt like we needed to get through that first. I think people were a little concerned, maybe a little impatient, which you completely get,” said Guelli while appearing on the “Jeremy and Joe Show” from Bills training camp. “We’ve really made an effort to get everybody through. We’re literally now into the last wave of Season Ticket holders, so almost everybody’s been through the building, or through this process.”‘

‘Because Spector has not played four full NFL seasons, he can be claimed by any club. If that doesn’t happen, he will revert back to the Bills, who will then have the option to place him on Injured Reserve for the season, or release him with an injury settlement.’

‘”I’m just trying to grow my game as a whole,” said Hamlin on Monday following practice at Bills training camp. “Last year I was trying to prove a lot, dealing with the sudden cardiac arrest on the field, and having the world see me as that moment. I felt like I was chasing plays a lot, and felt like I had to make plays so that people can see me as the athlete and what I can truly do on the field, which had me antsy in my game a lot. So coming back around this year, I truly feel like I accomplished that, and that I have peace. I don’t feel any outside world expectations. I’m not worried about trying to get other people’s labels off of me. I’m just locked into allowing the game to come to me, and focusing on my technique and fundamentals.’

‘”I just control what I can control, as far as coming out here and doing what I can do,” Davis told reporters after practice on Monday. “It’s kind of a next-man-up mentality for practice. So whoever’s getting reps, me, Ty [Johnson], ‘D-Ev’ [Darrynton Evans], or Frank [Gore Jr.], we’ve got to go out there and keep playing ball and let everything take care of itself.”‘

‘”At the end of the day, I wish we weren’t here,” said Beane on Monday during an appearance on the “Jeremy and Joe Show” on WGR. “This is my ninth season here. We’ve never had a player miss due to a contract or anything like that. So that’s disappointing for me, not something we want, not something we’re looking forward to. But at the end of the day, sometimes it can be the way the world. So we’ll deal with it the best we can”‘

‘Cook is entering the final year of his rookie contract and scheduled to make $5.271 million in base salary. He’s made it known for several months that he wants a contract extension and wants to be paid in-line with some of the top running back deals in the NFL.’

‘“I’ve never had training camp like that before and that felt like a game. My ears feel like we played a game, so I appreciate Bills Mafia coming out because it makes training camp more fun.”‘

‘And even before it began, those who showed up early got something they were waiting for – quarterback Josh Allen entering the field wearing something different than the team’s usual white helmet.’

‘Starter Terrel Bernard has been out several days with a hamstring injury, which means Baylon Spector and Joe Andreessen have both been given chances to step into his role as defensive play-caller.’
