The #Bills will be participating in the team’s first padded practice today when the team takes the field at 10 AM.

These were the big story lines that emerged from today's practice. We'll circle back later on this afternoon with a more detailed look at everything, but for now, stay up to date with this.

Cassel to stick with 1s

It is three days in a row for first-team reps for Matt Cassel. It's him and Tyrod today. At least in this team O session. Interesting.

So, unless something changes in next few minutes, looks like EJ got 1 day with 1st unit. Normal rotation would suggest he gets 2 days in row

Rex says that Matt Cassel will stick with 1s in 11-on-11s because he is older. Taylor and Manuel will rotate between 1s and 2s/3s.

Rex Ryan just declared Richie Incognito the starting left guard. Same with Cordy Glenn at left tackle.

Rex says that he's also been impressed with Cyril Richardson and notes that he can "push" John Miller for RG job.

Rex Ryan says LT Glenn, LG Incognito and C Wood are locked in as starters. #BillsCamp

Conner out a week

Rex Ryan says John Connor will be out a week with a tweaked hamstring. Marcus Thigpen has "a little tightness" but should be fine.
