Updates from Matt Parrino:

This is the first practice all offseason we've heard Samuel's name come up a lot. Good to see. We need him to be a major contributor in this offense.

Pass catchers other than WR only count when we're talking about the Bills. Obviously.

Sure vet rest and playing it safe with injuries will naturally mean that other OL players get some time in with the 1s, but what I mean is it won't be like past years where it's an open competition at certain positions and guys are regularly being rotated in and out. I feel like every single year we've gotten to preseason without knowing exactly who is going to be the starting five and the lack of established chemistry has caused issues early in the season. This year we already know.

I suspect this year we will not be trying different OL combinations. All of the messaging from the team has been that McGovern is the locked in center. There is no legitimate competition on the roster to David Edwards at LG. The only remote chance of something different was SVPG flat out winning the center job, but instead he is on the 3rd team behind Will Clapp. Short of injury the starting five is locked in IMO. Which is for the best anyways. We have a bunch of new starters all over the roster. Having one position group locked in from day one of training camp creates some level of consistency for the offense.

More updates from Matt Parrino:

Nothing specific on that but the offense was apparently cooking today so sounds like no issues.

We haven't had a WR capable of this sort of play in the Josh Allen era.
