Wondering about Willis McGahee, are you? Curious as to how that reconstructed knee's coming along? I hear you.
So Thursday I attended the Buffalo Bills voluntary organized team activity alongside the field house. What do you know? Almost everyone showed and a practice broke out.

I watched McGahee join his teammates in an extended round of stretching. There wasn't a grimace to be seen. Quite the opposite. I'm pretty sure the man cracked a few smiles while folding himself like a lawn chair.

My eyes never left McGahee's legs once the running backs gathered to dart over and around a series of obstacles. The rumored hitch in his gait? If that's a hitch then Maurice Greene limps his way through the 100. You'd love to move forward as quickly as McGahee goes sideways.

I thought that maybe I was on to something when McGahee knelt upon his right knee during a rest on the sidelines. Why the right knee instead of the surgically repaired left? Could he be hiding something? Is this a sign of discomfort?

But then I noticed Travis Henry on his right knee. And Antonio Brown on his right knee. False alarm.

How was his overall speed and cutting ability?

This is the part I don't like about the article, yea it's just practice, but bad pratice = bad habits in games. Hopefully it's just a situational thing and not a case of the drops.

Meanwhile, in other developments, Eric Moulds dropped two passes Thursday, equaling his yearly quota. What's a Bills fan without something to worry about?

Lol I'm not worried about that I/m pretty sure it was said as a joke for the fans to move onto something else to talk about.

This is the best part of the article for me:

"Most people, when they have major knee surgery, they worry about if they cut wrong what's going to happen," McGahee said. "I don't worry about none of that. I just go out there and go. If it happens it happens. You can't stop it."

That says alot

He looked a little timid doing the Weaves through the bags in 6-10 OTA.. that may very well be by design, making sure no setbacks happen.

As far as speed knowone looks to be pushing over 80%... that makes sense, there have already been teams suffering injuries in the Pre-season.

He wasn't wearing any sortof knee brace or wrap yesterday so that's a good sign as well.
