Two Bills Drive

‘"We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Jim Kelly to Watkins Glen International," said track president Craig Rust. "Jim is a true football icon and has a wide following of fans that stretches outside of the State of New York. His work with Hunter’s Hope Foundation is truly an inspiration and we are very pleased to have him join us for New York State’s largest weekend spectator sporting event."’

‘Kelly, who was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last week, will wave the green flag for the 43-car field in the Sirius Satellite Radio at The Glen event at Watkins Glen.’

‘"He’s coming along very well," Williams said, without providing a timetable on when Ostroski might be cleared for practice. "We want to make sure that once he gets out there, there’s not going to be any setbacks."’

‘"I think Larry Centers has put it well," coach Gregg Williams said, referring to the veteran fullback’s assessment of Reed. "He’s walked by me in practice and said, ‘It’s pretty safe to go ahead and put (Reed’s) name on his jersey."”

‘"Ruben is progressing real well, but it’s doubtful that he’ll play," coach Gregg Williams said Wednesday. "He’s made a lot of progress the last few days, but I’m just not going to rush him."’

In advance of the Bills first home game of the season vs. the Cincinnati Bengals this Friday evening, the team would like to remind fans of the policies that will be in effect at Ralph Wilson Stadium in 2002.

Clements: I'm definitely confident in my abilities to go out there and shut down receivers and I get more and more confidence each year.

‘”Travis Brown came in and had a good scrimmage,” head coach Gregg Williams said. “As we go through this preseason, a big thing we will be looking at will be Travis getting (more) reps. We got him in our camp last year I think two days before the last preseason game and then we saw him a lot in practiced during the year, but we didn’t see him in a lot of game reps. … We want to see a lot of work out of him in the preseason.”‘

Where Is He Now: During the early ’90s, the Bills had one of the strongest chains in the NFL, partly because of linebacker Darryl Talley. Talley never missed a game during his 12-year career with the Bills.

Brown says Bryson is the fastest player on the team

‘Not only has Sullivan looked good, it may be very difficult for Ostroski or anybody else to take the job away from him.’

‘Only 15 percent survive battles with lung cancer.’

‘Rookie WR Josh Reed has been one of the big stories in camp. It seems he makes a spectacular catch every day.’

‘Jon Kitna will get the start and will be followed in playing order by Gus Frerotte, Akili Smith and Scott Covington. "Each one of them will probably play a quarter,” LeBeau said.’

With the first preseason game of the year on Friday, the Buffalo Bills held a single session workout on Tuesday, in which the team spent the majority of the practice fine-tuning their offensive and defensive packages.
