Start The Buffalo
Bills wrapped up their three-day minicamp Thursday,
officially beginning their month-long break before training camp. Buffalo Bills
With tight end Scott Chandler the only player not on the practice
field he was excused from minicamp for a family matter the Bills were near full
health as they head into their summer vacation. Coach Doug Marrone said
Thursday that he isn't aware of any players that should miss the start of
training camp because of injury, Buffalo Bills which means that several players
who were limited in organized team activities and minicamp should be ready when
the Bills start practice on July 20. Buffalo Bills Among those players who were
limited in recent weeks was wide receiver Mike Williams. Buffalo Bills He
told reporters Thursday that he was still recovering from a hamstring injury
suffered last season that required surgery. Buffalo Bills "We started off
where they threw me out there and I was just going every rep and then the leg
starting getting to me and then they started holding me back more and
more," Williams said. "But then I started getting my legs back and
giving me more reps." T.J. Graham, who didn't participate in any team
drills during OTAs or minicamp, is also expected back by training camp. That
will bring the Bills' wide receiver position back to full health and create
strong competition this summer. The Bills mixed and matched personnel at
receiver throughout spring practices, with Williams, Marquise Goodwin, and Chris
Hogan all seeing reps with starting quarterback EJ Manuel at one
point or another. All three receivers also received snaps with backups Thad
Lewis and Jeff Tuel. When Williams is healthy by training camp, he
remains the favorite to earn reps alongside Sammy Watkins, Robert Woods, Buffalo
Bills and the first-team offense. Buffalo Bills However, we wrote last
week that Williams' roster spot wasn't a "sure bet" given the
landscape of the position. Buffalo Bills Williams is a talented player who
could easily secure a role with a strong training camp, Buffalo Bills but it's
too early to dismiss two other players on the depth chart: Hogan and Graham. Buffalo
Bills Hogan didn't look out of place with the top offensive unit this spring,
and Graham couldn't practice on offense but got his work in as a returner in
recent weeks. Buffalo Bills Both players, along with Goodwin, could push
Williams for playing time at wide receiver. Buffalo Bills It will be one of the
top competitions to watch when the Bills start training camp, Buffalo Bills.
