Bills Cancel Final Day of Mandatory Minicamp After Stefon Diggs Returns

The Buffalo Bills will now begin their summer break early before the start of training camp later this July.

The Buffalo Bills are starting summer vacation early.

Per reports Wednesday from ESPN, the team is cancelling the final day of mandatory minicamp practice on Thursday. A reason for the cancellation has not been revealed at this time.

Teams cancelling minicamp practices is not uncommon, as Buffalo's own AFC East rival New England Patriots announced a similar move on Wednesday, calling off their final session.

If what center Mitch Morse said about the team is true, then a final minicamp practice might not be necessary when rest could be had instead.

"We have all the pieces of the puzzle," Morse said Wednesday. "We have the tools, we have the opportunity. we have the guys for us. it's just kind of going out there and getting better."

The Bills held practice at their indoor facility on Wednesday, which saw the return of star receiver Stefon Diggs from his odd offseason hiatus. All the talk surrounding the start of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday was the absence of Diggs, who failed to show up after also missing voluntary OTAs earlier in the offseason.

"Stef's a valuable member of this football team," coach Sean McDermott said. "He's one of our captains and a leader on this football team. He works extremely, extremely hard, as hard as any player I've been around to be elite in this league and that's what he is. And I love him."

The Bills are currently set to begin training camp on Tuesday, July 25.
