Buffalo Bills QBs Tyler Thigpen and Vince Young rotated in and out with the second unit during organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp. The two are expected to continue their battle into training camp, with the loser likely being cut. Head coach Chan Gailey has previously stated WR Brad Smith will be used as the No. 3 quarterback, mainly for his work in the Wildcat package.

Bills | Shawne Merriman looking like former self?
Buffalo Bills LB Shawne Merriman (Achilles’) says he has never felt better coming off surgery for his Achilles’ injury. He might be a sleeper in the team’s newly revamped pass rushing attack, as he had a solid showing during organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp. His first step has shown impressive burst, and his power game looks to be back for the first time in a while.

Bills | T.J. Graham trying to grasp base offense
Buffalo Bills WR T.J. Graham saw plenty of work during organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp with the first unit. He has speed to burn, and can stretch the field vertically. However, he is still trying to master the base concepts in the offense.

Rams | Benjamin Guidugli making adjusts game
St. Louis Rams TE Benjamin Guidugli has been seeing time lining up splitting between tight end and the fullback position. He said coming out of the backfield ‘has been an adjustment.’ Head coach Jeff Fisher is looking for diversity from his tight ends, and Guidugli played tight end and was a slot receiver at the University of Cincinnati. ‘It’s a different point of view (coming out of the backfield) than the line or spread out. I’m embracing it and playing faster every day,’ Guidugli said.
