Defensive end Joey Bosa, recently signed by the Buffalo Bills, is recovering from a calf injury and is expected to miss time until training camp. Bosa’s injury history during his tenure with the Chargers has raised concerns among the Bills coaching staff as they prioritize his health and recovery ahead of the upcoming season.

Head coach Sean McDermott expressed the team‘s cautious optimism, emphasizing their focus on supporting Bosa through rehabilitation.

“Durability, availability are key ties to our roster. And so, we basically look ahead in terms of what he’s doing now, which is getting himself the treatment that he needs and he’s working hard at it, and that’s all that he can control right now, and we get him back when we get him back, probably at this point [for] training camp. So, we’re going to do the best job we can, and I know he is as well, and just take it one day at a time,”

Patriots’ Draft Pick Craig Woodson Aims to Make an Immediate Impact

The New England Patriots have high hopes for safety Craig Woodson, selected in the fourth round of the draft. Woodson believes his extensive coverage experience at the University of California prepares him to contribute right away.

Woodson described his role, stating,

“At Cal, we ran every bit of coverage you could think of. This last year, I played boundary safety. We made all the checks and communications in the back end. The last two years before, I played field safety. I have experience with both sides of the safety range. With the man coverage they do and just putting me at a single high or quarters, I think I have comfort with that and just making the communication. You’ve got to be able to make the calls and have a mental aspect of just knowing everything’s coming fast. You’ve got to be able to communicate and say the right things and get everybody lined up. That’s what I do best.”

During the draft, the Chicago Bears attempted to trade up one spot to select running back TreVeyon Henderson, but the Patriots declined offers including a seventh-round pick and multiple picks from Houston. These negotiations indicate the Patriots’ firm stance on building their roster strategically.
