This is it, Buffalo Bills fans: 2014 training camp will be in the books later today, once this morning's final practice has concluded. The team will then pack up and head back to Orchard Park for the final nine days of the preseason, during which two rounds of roster cuts will be made.
Doug Marrone and his coaching staff are likely looking for a cleaner close to camp than what transpired on the field yesterday, when undrafted rookie Bryan Johnson fought with two prominent starters on offense (Eric Wood and Scott Chandler) during a goal line drill. An injury list as short as possible would be a great way to end camp, as well; right now, the most pressing injury concern on the roster is the status of Leodis McKelvin and his ailing groin.
You know the drill: the Twitter list below will update throughout the day, and once the practice concludes, we'll sweep through them to pick out the most relevant stuff. Enjoy the last practice, folks!
Looks like Kyle Williams is getting the day off. Not in pads today.

Sammy Watkins is taking part in routes versus air today. He hasn't done that each of the last two days. Step forward. #Bills

Doug Marrone having a long talk with Kyle Williams here at practice. Marrone absolutely lit up his team after another scuffle started.

At one point Marrone told Jerry Hughes "you don't have to play on this team." Marrone to the whole team: "get your (expletive) together."

I've been covering the #Bills since 2009. That's the biggest blowup from a head coach since I've been here.

Think Andre Reed could still play in the NFL? He looks the part. pic.twitter.com/jRZYLRabyx

The final practice of #Bills camp is complete, but camp isn't over. The team will be at SJFC until Saturday morning before the game at RWS

They’ll be doing a walk-thru tomorrow and then spending the night on Friday before traveling back Saturday.
