Bills work out 2 DT's

[psubills62]

The Bills worked out free agent DTs Travis Ivey and Jay Ross.

With DT Kyle Williams (foot) expected to be sidelined 1-2 weeks beyond the Bills' Week 7 bye, one of Ivey or Ross could be signed for depth. Ivey appeared in one game for the Browns a season ago, notching a tackle.

Ivey's name sounds familiar for some reason.

Williams already being ruled out for the Redskins worries me, and I'm afraid he may not play again until very late this year. Wouldn't be surprised if we end up having to sign someone for the rest of the season.

Ivey was a massive 34 NT prospect who signed with Miami as a UDFA last year.

Kyle's injury is going to be ongoing this season, which sucks.

If I remember correctly, Ivey was a guy you wanted Buffalo to sign.

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up on IR.

Kyle will not go on IR....he's been playing with the injury all season. He will rest it for a few weeks and be back ready to go. I have no doubts about that at all

I think it's going to be more than a few weeks. It's usually a bad sign when a team rules a player out for a game even 5 days before it is played. When they rule him out 1.5-2 weeks in advance, it's really not good.

If it's bone spurs, as I heard, the bone spurs are causing constant irritation and inflamation. By keeping off of it, he'll get some relief, but it's tough to keep in footbal shape if you can't practice. I'd almost like to see him have surgery and be done with it, because he's not going to be as effective as he and the Bills want him to be while nursing these bone spurs along.

Yep, Ross too. Both have good size and Ross has 34 NT experience.

I think the thought process at OBD is that if any game is ok to miss its this one. Redskins are a solid team but their OL is not great and we are at home plus they are coming in with a new QB. Plus, this gives KW about 4 weeks of rest for the foot which is huge and could help him finish off the season strong.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they've replaced about 2-3 OL for their game tomorrow. Not sure how many will be out for our game against them.

They should just promote Jasper from the PS.

He's no longer on the DL and indications are they don't see him there.

Re: Bills work out 2 DT's

With all of the position shifting that this team does, it would seem that maybe Dareus could play some NT, with Carrington in on the end, as well as Troup at NT when MD is outside.
