Buffalo Bills fans packed the stands on Sunday at the team’s ticketed training camp practice. Buffalo has an off-day on Monday before returning to the field on Tuesday. Tuesday’s practice is a media-only session, but fans will be able to see the team in action on Wednesday (9:45 a.m.).

What happened on Sunday? Here’s what you may have missed.

NEWS

Beasley catches everything

If Josh Allen gets the ball to Cole Beasley, the wide receiver is going to haul the ball in. The Allen-Beasley connection was on display again on Sunday and Beasley showed sure hands whenever Allen put the ball on him.

At one point in practice, the coaching staff openly praised Allen for hitting Beasley on a short pass. It’s apparent that Allen is going to be asked to take what is given to him more in 2019 and that will likely involve a heavy workload for Beasley.

Beasley said chemistry with Allen would take about one week, but the duo appears to be ahead of schedule.

A Spain-glehold on left guard

Buffalo’s offensive line was shuffled around a bit due to Mitch Morse’s maintenance day, but Quinton Spain was the team’s first team left guard for the fourth consecutive practice. At this point, Spain appears to have a stranglehold on the job.

Trent Murphy shines

Trent Murphy looks like a completely different player on the field from one season ago. Leslie Frazier said as much earlier this offseason, but it was apparent on Sunday. Murphy was beating anyone put in front of him on the practice field. If Murphy can carry this over to the regular season, Buffalo could have two dangerous pass rushers at defensive end with an internal pass rush coming from Ed Oliver.

Oliver continues to flash on field

Speaking of the Bills’ first round pick, Buffalo’s offensive line were having trouble containing the defensive tackle.

It’s just a matter of time before Oliver is working with the first-team defense at this point.

Singletary shines

Ed Oliver was impressive on Sunday, but Devin Singletary was the best rookie on the field. Singletary saw a lot of reps on Sunday and made the most of them. He raced to the corner of the end zone on one play during the Bills’ team drills and did a good job as a rusher and receiver. It’s unknown how big Singletary’s role will be in 2019 with LeSean McCoy and Frank Gore ahead of him, but he looks like he’s ahead of the rookie learning curve early in training camp.

INJURIES

Bills down three tight ends

Jason Croom missed Sunday’s training camp practice with a hamstring injury and was joined by Dawson Knox. The Bills’ third-round pick is also dealing with a hamstring injury. Throw in Tyler Kroft (foot) and the Bills are currently down three tight ends.

The injuries leave Buffalo with Lee Smith, Tommy Sweeney, Keith Towbridge and Nate Becker. Although the Bills still have four tight ends, it’s possible that they add a more athletic option to join the roster while Croom, Knox and Kroft recover.

Speaking of Kroft, the tight end was spotted at St. John Fisher on Sunday in a walking boot.

LINEUP NOTES

Feliciano’s versatility apparent

With Mitch Morse on a maintenance day, Buffalo’s first-team OL featured Dion Dawkins, Quinton Spain, Jon Feliciano, Spencer Long and Cody Ford from left to right. Feliciano’s ability to play guard and center, as well as his experience playing under Bobby Johnson, could make him too valuable to release during roster cuts.

Senorise Perry making his case

Senorise Perry is part of a deep running back room for Buffalo, but he’s making a case to make the roster. Perry has been working with the first-team on special teams and when given the opportunity to see offensive snaps on Sunday, the running back made a beautiful over the shoulder catch for a touchdown.

QUOTE

“As a defensive guy my blood pressure gets pretty high in those occasions. I think the top number is the number you worry about, maybe it’s the bottom number, but both are pretty high when I see that. To the other side of it, to your point, I like the fact that we were able to complete some of those passes down the field yesterday. That’s important for confidence, that’s important for some of our rhythm on offense and to see John and Josh get off to a good start is good to see.”
