They should have been doing this at SJF for the entirety of training camp. Might be too little too late.

 

@john_wawrow

As McDermott alluded to on Friday, appears officials will be on the field when #Bills begin practice later this AM.

@SalSports

Jeremy Butler, Colt Anderson, Rod Streater, Michael Ola, Cordy Glenn, Jordan Matthews, Trae Elston will not practice today.

 

@JoeBuscaglia

#Bills HC Sean McDermott says both Jordan Matthews (chip fracture in sternum) and Cordy Glenn (ankle) are both improving.

@ChrisBrownBills

Dawkins will work a little more on left side so we're prepped if we have to go to contingency plan at left tackle. #Bills

McDermott: officials will be at practice today. #Bills

McDermott on RCB competition - Wright & Seymour both did some good things. Includes Gaines in battle for that position. #Bills

@SalSports

McDermott says Jordan Poyer "has been flying under the radar," as far as how well he's been playing at safety.

@buffalobills

"I'm very proud of the progress our defense has made. They're playing fast and confident which is a result of their hard work." #GoBills

 

@SalSports

"What I want all of our players to understand is that we're going to support them." -- McDermott on Cam Jefferson raising fist during anthem

 

@JoeBuscaglia

#Bills HC Sean McDermott said he met with the team about what they do during the anthem. He says he supports the choices his players make.

@ChrisBrownBills

McDermott on mixed position lockers to build relationships across diff positions. Important that players get to know one another #Bills

@buffalobills

On players during the anthem: We're building this team around love. I want all our players to know we support them. The key word is respect.

Seems like it might be time to pull the plug on Anderson. A special teams ace who can never play due to injuries...

 

Assume for Glenn they mean foot

[26CornerBlitz]

@SalSports

WR Jordan Matthews is catching passes with the rest of his position group in individual work. Has helmet on. No pads.

 

@danfetes

EJ Gaines just walked off the practice field with a trainer #Bills

McDermott: "Proud of the Progress They've Made" (13:36)

HC Sean McDermott talks about Dion Dawkins, having refs at practice, the secondary and more.

 

Dawkins gets more work at left tackle

Rookie Dion Dawkins saw a bit of work at left tackle on Friday. That workload was expanded on Sunday as Cordy Glenn remains sidelined.

 

@JaySkurski

The #Bills were without seven players at practice Sunday, but WR Jordan Matthews looks to be making progress.

@JoeBuscaglia

Jordan Matthews takes a step forward, a 3-man battle for RCB, and more... 5 takeaways from today's #Bills practice: http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/joe-b-5-takeaways-from-buffalo-bills-practice-82017

[ALF]

Finally they have Dawkins at LT in case Glenn is out . Henderson is better at RT but out 1st 5 games. Hope Mills is ok for 1st 5 games at least.

[JimKellyTryouts]

Gaines gets to join Matthews on the injury report? Oh, the irony.

He did, but I'm not sure if he resumed practicing.
