McDermott: All but James Cook are present for voluntary OTAs

Why it is way too early to be concerned by Buffalo Bills RB James Cook's absence
‘”This is still voluntary, so regardless of what everybody wants, everybody wants us to play like football. How many days in a year? 365 days in a year. That’s what the world would want, but it’s impossible, and this is voluntary, so this shouldn’t be hurting anything that’s going on and whatever’s going on,” Dawkins added. “I just hope that it continues to go in a peaceful way. But this is a voluntary part of the season, and we’re happy to have everybody that’s here, and for the people that aren’t, we still love them, and it is what it is.”‘
Bills’ Ray Davis, mental health organization advocate for foster children
‘Davis said he was nervous at first to tell his story of bouncing around five high schools and feeling very little love from the adults around him. Then it hit him, this is his purpose, to impact others, sharing his experience. He said it’s a purpose higher than winning football games. “(My purpose is) to be able to provide what I went through, and provide a blueprint to try and help kids understand it’s ok to go through adversity because there’s always going to be a light at the end of the tunnel,” he said. “But you have to make sure you have the right people around you.”’

‘Other than Cook, the only other on-field absence was defensive lineman Joey Bosa. The Bills free agent signing suffered a calf injury last week according to McDermott, and is expected to miss the rest of the spring before returning to action for training camp.’

Joshua Palmer's role with Bills among 5 storylines to watch at OTAs
‘Palmer was signed to a three-year, $36 million contract, $18 million of which was guaranteed, because he has proven he can get open against man coverage, and he should be able to block as effectively as the receiver he is replacing, Mack Hollins. These OTAs are an opportunity for Allen to continue to develop chemistry with a receiver who should play an important role this season.’
Bills have intriguing decisions to make on defense as voluntary minicamp begins
‘The Bills have traditionally kept three outside cornerbacks active the last two seasons and they likely have too much respect to keep White as a healthy scratch. White has a $2.2 million dead cap hit they can absorb in the event Hairston wins the job in training camp. The other three players present another conundrum. It’s possible they keep an extra cornerback this year instead of a special teams-oriented wide receiver, so they could keep Ingram, Jackson and Strong. Or they could keep White, activate him and use him as an insurance policy. Normally ties go to draft picks, but Strong is a sixth rounder and those players are never safe on Buffalo’s roster. Plus Ingram (three years) and Jackson (four) have a lot of experience in coach Sean McDermott’s defense.’
Bills begin OTAs on Tuesday
‘According to the NFL and NFLPA’s collective bargaining agreement, during Phase III, teams may conduct a total of 10 days of OTAs. No live contact is permitted, but 7-on-7, as well as 9-on-7, and 11-on-11 drills are permitted.’
