Overview

  • Joey Bosa pulled a calf during a team workout last week and will skip all voluntary spring practices, McDermott confirmed.
  • The five-time Pro Bowler agreed to a one-year, $12.6 million deal in March after his release from the Chargers and has missed 23 games over the past three seasons due to injuries.
  • Buffalo’s pass-rush rotation in spring workouts will lean on Greg Rousseau, A.J. Epenesa and newcomer Michael Hoecht in Bosa’s absence.
  • Running back James Cook did not report to OTAs as he enters the final year of his rookie contract without a new extension in place.
  • Cook has publicly pitched a $15 million-per-year deal and remains in ongoing discussions with GM Brandon Beane ahead of the mandatory minicamp in June.
