Bills Observations: Keon's Stacking Days & Position Battles Taking Shape

Bills Observations: Keon's Stacking Days & Position Battles Taking Shape

Author: Blue Wire July 28, 2025 Duration: 43:44

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran was at Buffalo Bills training camp on Sunday and has a ton of observations to discuss, some solo and also a segment with Bills reporter Alex Brasky.

Alex joined Patrick live from right outside the field just minutes after practice answered and they discussed a handful of topics, including injuries to Curtis Samuel and Terrel Bernard opening up some practice opportunities and what we saw is a nice battle brewing for the spot behind Bernard between Baylon Spector, who was impressive Sunday and feel good story Joe Andreessen, who also got plenty of work. Unfortunately practice ended badly for receiver Tyrell Shavers after suffering an ankle injury at the end of practice, wiping out what was a promising day for the roster hopeful. Alex also talks about the job Cam Lewis is doing in the secondary and looks primed to keep this roster spot.

For Patrick he discusses being blown away by how Keon Coleman looked Sunday, calling it the best training camp practice he’s seen from Keon so far. He was winning at all levels and sides of the field against multiple defensive backs, working to get both separation and making a really nice contested catch.

Patrick also empties out his notebook from practice, talking about a big play from roster longshot Ja’Marcus Ingram, the safety position rounding into form early, another so-so day for first-round rookie Max Hairston, a fifth rounder from last year that may find himself off the active roster and much more.
