Bills FB Burns out with high ankle sprain
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) Backup fullback Joe Burns will miss an extended period of time after sustaining a high ankle sprain during Buffalo Bills training camp.
Burns wore a protective boot on his left foot while watching practice from the sideline on Thursday. Coach Mike Mularkey didn't provide a timetable for Burns' recovery other than to say he'll be out for a while.
He was hurt on Wednesday when a teammate rolled up on his leg while he was blocking during a goal-line drill.
Burns is a two-year veteran who has appeared in 26 games, including one start, with Buffalo. He had 39 carries for 113 yards, and seven catches for 62 yards in 16 games last season.
He is competing for the team's backup job behind Daimon Shelton, a six-year veteran signed by the Bills in January.
