Joey Bosa to Miss Bills Spring Practices

Buffalo Bills defensive end Joey Bosa, released by the Chargers this offseason after nine years, will miss all spring practices due to a calf injury but is expected to be ready for training camp in July. Bosa, a five-time Pro Bowler on a one-year, $12.6 million deal, has not completed a full season since 2019, raising concerns for head coach Sean McDermott. In Bosa's absence, A.J. Epenesa and rookie Landon Jackson are getting more first-team reps during organized team activities. Meanwhile, star running back James Cook, coming off a breakout season, is absent from voluntary practices as he negotiates a contract extension, with McDermott noting ongoing communication. The Bills are seeking to extend their playoff streak and will begin preseason on August 17 and open the regular season on September 7 against the Ravens.
