The off-season is officially over for the Buffalo Bills.

One injury the fans and media were not aware of was new guard, Rodger Saffold.

McDermott said Saffold was in a car accident and suffered injured ribs. He will start training camp on the Non-Football Injured list.

McDermott did add that he thinks Saffold will be back in “due time.”

Cornerback Tre’Davious White, guard Ike Boettger and defensive tackle Eli Ankou will start camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list, more commonly referred to as PUP. White is recovering from a torn ACL, as is Boettger.

As for the Bills players on the field on Sunday, it was an excellent day by all accounts from the defense. Newly signed defensive tackle Tim Settle intercepted fellow new Bills player Case Keenum in 11-on-11 drills, which was the highlight of the day.

Fans had a warm welcome for Josh Allen and Von Miller, as well as Jordan Poyer, who has his agent Drew Rosenhaus at camp. Rosenhaus and general manager Brandon Beane will be discussing a potential contract extension, as Poyer has one year remaining on his current deal.

The Bills will be back at it for day two of camp on Monday. It’s good to have football back,
