Shortly before the start of practice Monday, linebacker Takeo Spikes completed his individual workout and flashed a thumbs-up sign to a group observing him along the sideline.
Already drenched in sweat as he prepared to join his Buffalo Bills' teammates, Spikes said: "It's an everyday ritual," referring to the 15 minutes he spent going over his footwork.
Not today, he was reminded.
It was different this time because he was wearing full pads for the first time since tearing his right Achilles' tendon in Week 3 last season.
