Royal Update: Sprained Shoulder

Bills' Royal sprains shoulder

The Buffalo Bills will be without starting tight end Robert Royal for the last two weeks of spring practice due to a sprained shoulder.
Royal suffered the injury on Thursday when he fell to the turf after making a catch over the middle then getting tangled up with a defensive back in incidental contact. He left the field favoring his shoulder. Royal watched Friday's practice from the sidelines with his left arm in a sling.
Bills coach Dick Jauron said the injury will not require surgery and that Royal will be fine for training camp at the end of July.
"He's got a shoulder injury ... it's more of a sprain," Jauron said. "He won't be involved any more in our [organized team activities] and we'll just see how it is."

Not necessarily a big deal except it gives the staff more time to look at the rest of our TE's.

Everett has seemed to have step it up this year so far. He should get more reps now so here's his chance to shine! I hope we get to hear more about Schouman also.

Time for Everett to step up and claim that spot.

Can Schouman take it too, or is he not a pure enough TE? His blocking is suspect, or so ive heard.

I was hoping they would put Royal on ir. How is he on the team after he screwed that TD pass from evans against Tennesee?

It's not like he's the only one who's lost a game for us.

Cmon it was Royals 1st year. He may have not been great but no one in this team has proven to be better than him. Why give them a chance? Let's see what he can do in his 2nd year before we start calling for heads. Otherwise, let's start with Tripplett and Mccargo.

He got off to a good start today.

Kevin Everett was the favorite target of all three quarterbacks during red zone 7-on-7. Everett made three catches for three touchdowns including a nice grab as J.P. Losman squeezed the ball between two defenders. Losman was 9-10 passing with the touchdown to Everett. Craig Nall went 4-4 with two straight touchdowns, one to Everett and the other to Donovan Morgan. Trent Edwards made some very nice passes hooking up with Everett for a touchdown in the seam on his first pass of the drill.
