Orchard Park, NY (WGR550) - The Buffalo Bills began their three-day voluntary veteran minicamp on Monday. After the session, general manager Brandon Beane spoke to reporters on a wide-range of topics, including giving an update on several players who are recovering from injuries.
Here’s what he said about each of them:
EDGE Michael Hoecht (Achilles) - “He’s doing well. Not fully cleared, though. But he's here, he's still rehabbing. He falls into that bucket like he's allowed to do certain things, but he's not full-go yet.”
CB Dorian Strong (neck) - “No new update for Dorian other than what I gave maybe at the owner’s meetings. It’s in a wait-and-see mode.”
K Tyler Bass (hip/groin) - “If he's not 100%, he's right at it.”
WR Tyrell Shavers (knee) - “He is rehabbing. Dude is here every day. We get out of the sauna at like 6-something in the morning. That dude's already in there doing his plan. He's just, as you guys know, a true pro. He’s really working hard, but did that ACL in in January. So, you know, it's going to take a little time.
EDGE Landon Jackson (knee) - Landon's doing well. He's closer than Hoecht, but I don't know like a percentage-wise. But he's in that boat of doing a lot of things, but not fully cleared yet.
WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) - “Yeah, he had like an ankle-type procedure. But he was out there today doing some things. I don't know that he's 100%, but he'll be okay.”
DT DeWayne Carter (Achilles) - “He's closer than Mike (Hoecht). Same injury, but not 100% yet.”
DB Jordan Hancock (shoulder) - “Doing well. Not cleared. But I think that would be close to minicamp or sometime minicamp to training camp.”
