‘It was a nice bounce-back day for wide receiver Marquez Stevenson, who struggled to catch the ball a little bit the last time the media was allowed to watch practice a week ago. Stevenson made a big play right off the bat catching a deep ball from Josh Allen, even in tight coverage from rookie first round cornerback Kaiir Elam. Stevenson made a couple of other grabs, as well.’

‘Regardless of Tre’Davious White’s situation to start the season, Elam is still likely to be starting at cornerback on opening night. If White isn’t fully healthy and not starting Week One at the Los Angeles Rams, Elam will almost definitely be starting opposite Dane Jackson. However, even if White is back and healthy and playing, it then becomes a competition between Elam and Jackson in training camp. I wouldn’t count Jackson out by any means, but Elam has the special traits and ability the team loves that made him their first round pick.’

‘After catching 194 passes with the Rams over the first five seasons, Austin has only caught 50 total passes over the last four years.’

‘After being inactive the first two weeks of 2021, he played the remaining 16 games, but never saw a single snap on defense. He was eighth on the team in total special teams snaps played at just shy of 60%. He’s scheduled to make just under $1.2 million in 2022.’

‘“It definitely helps to have a good idea of Josh and all the personnel. That’s where it’s been nice to be down on the field on game days, getting a feel for ‘Stef’ [Stefon Diggs] and Gabe [Davis] and Mitch [Morse] and Dawson [Knox], all these guys and how guys react to certain situations,” said Dorsey on Tuesday. “That’s been really helpful to me throughout this whole thing is that communication back-and-forth that would happen on the sideline.”’

‘While Araiza can boom the ball, he will also need to be able to hold well and consistently on field goals and extra points. He did not hold for any attempts during Tuesday’s session.’

‘Final result: 14-3.’

‘”It’s been different. The last three years I’ve had him in the meeting rooms every day (as the quarterbacks coach), and it’s going to take time,” Allen said. “I wanted to hear him talking to me in the headset just to hear his voice, because that’s going to be an adjustment. But in terms of what he’s doing, and how he’s communicating with the guys and getting on guys and lighting some fires, it’s been good to see.”’

‘”All three days, I had my whole family with me down in Pensacola, Florida. If I didn’t have my phone on me, my fiance had my phone, so I always kept the phone close, just to be sure. You never knew what was gonna happen, but at the same time, just wanted to be certain that I didn’t get any phone calls at all. So either I my phone, or my fiancee on my phone,” said Shakir with Howard Simon and Jeremy White. “But really, just the family, it’s just chillin for all three days, having fun, eating, listen to the music, just having a good time. I have family members that I’ve seen in years and years, so just be able to [share] that moment – I know it was for me and the draft – but at the same time to bring family members all in the same house that haven’t seen each other in a while really, really long time, it was just a blessing to be able to do that.”‘

‘Hunt has been the Pro Scouting Coordinator for the Steelers since 2010 when he took over for Doug Whaley, who became the Bills’ assistant general manager at the time.’

‘Ingram had a long and winding journey through his college football career, playing 19 games for Utah State as a freshman and sophomore, before transferring to Texas Tech where he played 15 games in his junior and senior years.’

‘Under bright sunshine in near record heat, eight drafted rookies, nine undrafted free agents, twenty tryout players, and three players who were on the practice squad last year but considered “first-year” players all ran through individual position drills as well as offensive versus defensive teamwork.’

‘Some notable names from the undrafted class are defensive end Kingsley Jonathan out of the Syracuse University and tight end Jalen Wydermyer out of Texas A&M.’

‘In the end, it results in a 14-3 record for the Bills and a great chance to finish atop the AFC in the regular season!’

‘One of those games will feature Buffalo appearing for a third time on Thanksgiving over the last four seasons. This time, the Bills will be featured in the opening game of the day in Detroit when they take on the Lions at Ford Field for a 12:30 p.m. EST kickoff.’
