T-minus three days, plus a few hours, until the Buffalo Bills play their 2015 preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Before we arrive at that destination, however, the team still has two more training camp practices to complete across Western New York at St. John Fisher. The first of those, which took place this morning, just wrapped up. Let's run through the big news of the day!

Dareus "dinged"
Rex Ryan says DT Marcell Dareus "got rolled up on" his knee in practice, but doesn't seem serious. "We'll see." #Bills Camp

Smiling Marcell Dareus pretends to join Rex Ryan's news conf as a reporter. Then trots into the locker room. "See, he's OK," Ryan says.
