The team also met with veteran pass rusher Ezekiel Ansah, formerly of the Detroit Lions, to gauge his interest in signing with the team. Ansah, who turns 30 in May White O. J. Simpson Jerseys , has 48 sacks in his six-year NFL career; however, he missed all but seven of Detroit’s games last season due to a shoulder injury. That shoulder injury, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, is the main reason why Ansah remains unsigned. Rapoport tweeted that Ansah’s agent has been told by numerous clubs that they want to see the results of Ansah’s mid-April checkup on his surgically-repaired shoulder. With the initial free-agent surge already completed, teams (and Ansah) are in no rush to sign a contract quickly.Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane echoed these thoughts last week:“We had a great visit with Ziggy and he’s a great young man,” Beane said Thursday morning on WGR 550 radio. “He had a tough shoulder injury last year and he’s still rehabbing that. I know he went on a couple other visits, or at least one other that I’m aware of. We had great talks with him and his agent. It’s kind of just at a standstill right now but it doesn’t mean it will or it won’t happen. We’ll see going forward and we’ll stay in touch with him and his representatives.”Ansah had 12 sacks in his last full season, which was the 2017 campaign. He made the Pro Bowl in 2015 when he notched a career-high 14.5 sacks for the Lions. That season O. J. Simpson Jerseys 2019 , he managed 34 quarterback hits, also a career high. In limited action last year, Ansah totaled four sacks and 11 tackles while playing 146 defensive snaps (14.6% of Detroit’s team total). Ansah would fit right in along Buffalo’s defensive line, which already has a starting trio of Jerry Hughes, Trent Murphy, and Shaq Lawson along the defensive edge. Hughes, 30, is in the final year of his contract White Thurman Thomas Jerseys , while Lawson, 24, enters the fourth year of his rookie deal. The team has until May 3 to decide whether to exercise their fifth-year option on that contract. Murphy, 28, enters the second year of a three-year contract signed during the 2018 free-agency period. In Thursday’s Buffalo Bills injury report, three potential starters did not practice, putting their game status in jeopardy for the week. The secondary looks thinner without Micah Hyde on hand, and tight end Charles Clay is in his second week of spotty practice sessions.Clay Thurman Thomas Jerseys 2019 , who was listed as limited on Wednesday with an ankle injury, did not practice on Thursday. That’s normally a bad sign, indicating a player’s condition may have worsened. The Bills used a similar tactic with Clay last week and he ended up playing, so this might be a case of managing his reps to allow him to make a gameday appearance. The biggest concern is at safety, where Hyde is already expected to miss Sunday’s game with a groin injury. His replacement, Rafael Bush, missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury. Not only would the Bills like to have a replacement for Hyde, but they’d also want to have Bush available for their “big nickel” package against a team in the Titans who likes to line up with multiple running backs on the field. If Bush can’t play White Bruce Smith Jerseys , rookie Siran Neal is the next man up, and some combination of Phillip Gaines and Dontae Johnson will fill in the gaps.Defensive end Shaq Lawson, who played Sunday as he continues to heal from his hamstring injury, was limited in practice again, but should be expected to play against the Titans.
