The Bills had some movement in both directions in regard to injuries at training camp on Tuesday. The workouts were just the second which saw players suit up in pads this offseason.
According to various reports Buffalo head coach Sean McDermott said second year defensive tackle Ed Oliver missed a second consecutive day of practices on Tuesday due to a hip injury. In addition to Oliver, tight end Tommy Sweeney (foot) also missed practice again.
While discussing injuries on Monday, McDermott described his team’s health issues as “soft tissue” injuries and “bumps and bruises.”
In terms of non-participants, a few more players did also join the likes of Oliver and Sweeney on the sideline. Injury reports released following practice indicated that fullback Patrick DiMarco (neck) and wideouts Robert Foster (concussion) and rookie Gabriel Davis (leg) all missed their first days of padded practices.
Now that most of the bad news is out of the way, some positive notes were also found.
Wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins and linebacker Vosean Joseph were wearing non-contact jerseys during practice, but did participate. The pair did the same on Monday. Two others also returned to practice after missing Day 1, cornerback Levi Wallace (back) and right tackle Ty Nsekhe. On Monday, Nsekhe was not mentioned by McDermott as a non-participant, but various media reports including Syracuse.com indicated that he was not taking part in practice.
Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano also did not practice. He’s expected to miss several weeks due to a chest injury.
