ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WKBW) — The Buffalo Bills put the pads on for the first time Tuesday as they took to the practice field for day six of training camp.
After the offense shined in the first few days of camp, the defense stepped up and had a much better day. 7 Eyewitness Sports Director Matt Bové said the offense failed to get into any rhythm, although wide receiver Isaiah Hodgins [who missed the majority of last season with an injury] made a few nice plays. Bills offensive lineman Jon Feliciano didn’t practice after he left practice on Monday. The team says he has a sore shoulder.
Former Bills linebacker Lorenzo Alexander has been at Bills practice helping "coach" up the linebackers. Alexander said he is not at all surprised by the trajectory of the organization and the recent success they've had.

Most WRs love to talk. @DavisGB1 is a little different. He lets his game do the talking.#BillsMafia @WKBW pic.twitter.com/HdttbcpzQN
