Suddenly!
Well...Peters just got a little more leverage in negotiations.
Already without holdout Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters, Buffalo's offensive tackle position became drastically thin Tuesday night when Patrick Estes and Matt Murphy went down with injuries in the span of five minutes.
Murphy appeared to suffer the more serious injury of the two as he was in obvious pain with a left shoulder injury. Estes meanwhile suffered a left leg injury as athletic trainers were checking his knee.
"It was a disappointing night in that regard," said head coach Dick Jauron.
Buffalo now has just three healthy offensive tackles left in training camp in Langston Walker, Kirk Chambers and seventh-round pick Demetrius Bell.
When asked how he'd describe his team's current depth at the position Jauron gave an honest answer.
"Not much. There's not much depth right now," said Jauron. "We'd like to be real deep unfortunately it seems like it works that way at times where you just get hit in a spot. Right now it looks like that's the spot so we'll keep working through it and see what happens."
