The Buffalo Bills are back! Practice resumes this morning at One Bills Drive for the strangest training camp in team history. Amid the cloud of the coronavirus pandemic, the Bills are ramping up for a 2020 season full of high expectations.
We’re embedding a live Twitter stream below so you can follow along. Videos and pictures won’t be what you’re used to, as the media are being assigned an individual, socially distant space on the sideline and can’t move around like normal. There is no tweeting during the 11-on-11 portions of practice and media isn’t allowed to report on “opportunity groups” who are running first-, second-, or third-team reps.
As the Bills returned to full strength yesterday following Sunday’s COVID-19 stress, they eased their way into the week. With an intersquad scrimmage mimicking a preseason game on Thursday, we expect some good hitting today with light work tomorrow.
