Buffalo quarterback Losman sidelined by back strain as Bills camp opens
PITTSFORD, N.Y. (AP) Quarterback J.P. Losman was held out for the start of Buffalo Bills training camp Thursday after straining his lower back working out this week.
Coach Dick Jauron listed Losman as day to day, but noted the quarterback will be placed on the physically unable to perform list. Losman can be activated off the list at any time.
"It won't have a lot of impact. Hopefully, it'll be very short-lived and he'll be right back on the field," Jauron said after the team held its first practice in suburban Rochester. "I don't know if deflating is a good term. I don't feel deflated. But it wasn't expected, that's for sure. These things, as we know, happen."
Losman was experiencing a little stiffness, but added he would be able to play if the Bills had a game this weekend. He said he was more embarrassed to miss the start of camp from doing leg squats on Tuesday.
"It's my fault. I was just probably a little too excited, too energetic to get going to camp," Losman said. "We're being extra cautious. We're looking to get out there pretty soon."
Wearing his practice jersey and sweat pants, Losman watched from the sideline and did not take part in any individual or team drill. Backup Craig Nall and rookie third-round draft pick Trent Edwards took most of the snaps during the two-hour session.
The Bills hold two-a-day sessions through Saturday, before going to a single practice routine for the rest of camp, which runs through Aug. 22.
