What comes after today's Buffalo Bills training camp practice might be even more interesting than what happens on the field. Doug Marrone is the talk of town today thanks to a couple of extra-surly media sessions on Sunday and Tuesday, and he'll be speaking with reporters again later on this afternoon after the Bills' 2:00 p.m. practice wraps up.
Before that happens, however, the Bills have another couple of hours to get through on the field at St. John Fisher. This is their last public practice session before they pack up and head down to Carolina for Friday evening's preseason game against the Panthers, so we will hopefully have an idea of whether or not certain players are planning on dressing. (Leodis McKelvin seems like the most obvious scratch for now.)
You know the drill: during Bills practice, the embedded Twitter list below will update with reporters' observations from the sidelines. If anything huge breaks during camp, we'll be on it. Later on this evening, we'll pick out the most relevant tweets from the afternoon and add them to this post as a sort of recap. Let's see what Wednesday brings from Pittsford!
Leodis McKelvin not practicing at all again today. Looks like he's being shut down this week.
