Buffalo Rumblings
Leveraging social media’s best to catch you up on all the latest news from Bills training camp
The Buffalo Bills hit the turf for their fifth day of training camp at St. John Fisher University this summer, the first padded camp session in 2025. It was an oppressively hot and humid morning, but that didn’t throw a wet blanket on the competition happening within the fields around Growney Stadium.
