The Bills will be taking a couple of their training camp practices on the road against NFL competition this summer. The club announced they will be conducting joint practices with the Carolina Panthers in Spartanburg, South Carolina on Aug. 13 and 14 leading up to their preseason game in Charlotte on Aug. 16.

The Panthers hold their training camp at Wofford College, just over the state line in South Carolina. The two teams will hold a pair of practice sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday of their preseason game week before meeting in Buffalo's second preseason game Friday night at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte. Practices will begin at 9:25 am.

"I think change of scenery is a benefit," said Beane. "These guys will have been going at each other all spring. We'll be about two weeks in with camp and will have played a preseason game, so to go against a new opponent will be an opportunity for our units to go against theirs. Their strengths on offense are different from our strengths, so it's something different for our defense to see. It's just a good opportunity to compete against guys who you haven't seen all the time and don't know all your moves."
