Pittsford, N.Y. (WGR Sports Radio 550) - Whether it was catching a 7-on-7 pass in the front corner of the end zone or in the back corner during 11-on-11 work, Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid continued to be a frequent target of Josh Allen's passes during training camp on Monday, and continued to show off his hands and versatility.
During, yet, another rain-soaked practice, the team worked a lot of offense against defense in the red zone.
They started with a 7-on-7 session, and on the very first play, Allen had to scan the field before ultimately throwing into the back corner of the end zone towards wide receiver Joshua Palmer. However, second-year cornerback Max Hairston had very tight coverage and broke it up.
On the next play, things were much easier for the offense when Allen saw Keon Coleman streaking across the field and down the goal line with safety Cole Bishop trailing him. It was an easy pitch-and-catch for Allen and Coleman for six points.
Bishop had a nice bounce-back a couple plays later when he was blanketing tight end Dawson Knox and knocked away a pass near the back corner of the end zone.
Then it was Kincaid time.
First, Allen had to squeeze a ball into a tight corner of the front of the end zone, but the fourth-year tight end walled off safety Sam Franklin on the play to catch it and tap both of his feet in bounds for the score.
A little while later, after they shifted to 11-on-11, Allen, once again, found Kincaid with Franklin on him. This time, it was in the back of the end zone near the corner, and Kincaid brought it down for another touchdown.
Kincaid, who has dealt with knee injuries throughout the first three years of his career, had an injury scare towards the end of practice. He limped off the field and was tended to by trainers before getting up and getting back onto the field.
After practice, he said it was a knee, but he was the one on the receiving end of it and was fine.
Kincaid also said he's feeling really good so far this camp after starting his offseason training earlier than usual, working with a trainer from California.
C.J. Gardner-Johnson update
Bills head coach Joe Brady said before practice Monday they got "good news" on the new Bills safety, saying "we're fortunate," after Gardner-Johnson went down on Saturday and did not return. ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter reported Saturday that Gardner-Johnson suffered a lower calf stain.
The safety did not participate on Monday.
Bernard and Williams line up together
For the first time this camp, linebackers Terrel Bernard and Dorian Williams both took snaps with the defense in full 11-on-11 work. Bernard had done that on Saturday for the first time. Both had been participating in 7-on-7.
Deone Walker not practicing
Second-year defensive tackle Deone Walker did not practice on Monday. During individual position work, Walker worked with an athletic trainer off to the side on the back field.
Up next:
The Bills will be back on the practice field on Tuesday for an 8:30 a.m. session at St. John Fisher University. Ahead of practice, new Bills special teams coordinator Jeff Rodgers will speak with the media in Rochester at 8 a.m.
