</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>MCKELVIN COULD BE IN SLOT TONIGHT: Though he's expected to get his reps at left cornerback with the second unit in the Bills night practice at St. John Fisher tonight, keep an eye on top pick Leodis McKelvin when the third team defense comes on the field.
In this morning's closed walk through, McKelvin lined up in the slot with the third nickel package as the defensive staff sees how their top rookie cornerback holds things down on the inside. Right now Will James and fellow rookie Reggie Corner are ahead of him in that slot role.
McKelvin hinted that defensive coordinator Perry Fewell had been showing him some nickel looks when he first arrived at training camp. Now five days later he's expected to line up there tonight.

I'm glad they're getting this kid more opportunities to get on the field. He might be the most physically gifted member of our secondary and that's not a knock on who we have now.
