Overview
- Teams are holding public practices at St. John Fisher University at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday with Wednesday closed to the public and only two Fisher practices remaining before the weekend.
- Players practiced in full pads for a second consecutive day on Tuesday, increasing live contact that coaches will use to assess players’ readiness for the preseason and regular season.
- Fans can catch the first shuttle from Nazareth University at 7:15 a.m. and should plan to arrive when gates open around 7:30 a.m. for security screenings and limited parking options.
- Weather shifted from earlier rainy sessions to sunny, upper-80s conditions on Tuesday, improving sight lines for fans and affecting practice pace for players on the field.
- Saturday’s Return of the Blue & Red at the new $2.2 billion Highmark Stadium gives fans their first in-person look at the Bills there and sets up Aug. 18 as the team’s final public workout before the season, while the ramp-up to live hitting raises the chance that injuries could influence roster decisions.
