“It was cool to get out there and make a play on the first day.” “It's not a bad start," said Shepherd, who raced past two defenders to haul in backup QB Josh Johnson's deep pass. (AP) - Darrius Shepherd made a quick first impression Thursday at training camp, hauling in a 60-yard touchdown pass on his first catch with the Denver Broncos. Without a known injury, being inactive sticks out like a sore thumb.ENGLEWOOD, Colo. Kingsley Jonathan saw a ton of time in Preseason Week 1, including a chunk of time on special teams. The pair played significant special teams reps too in both preseason games. Baylon Spector and Joe Giles-Harris are intriguing names at depth who both might become especially important with Tremaine Edmunds’s contract up in the air. Matakevich’s name is the furthest back on the depth chart for any of these guys at their respective positions. It’s possible Tyler Matakevich falls into this list as well. None of this group has much chemistry to work out as they’re depth mostly, but also they’re not really in competition with anyone. If I had to guess, this grouping fell into a weird spot for the Bills. I know the depth running backs have been impressing, but the RB4 shouldn’t expect to see the field unless it’s on special teams and Jones is lethal there. I can’t imagine Settle not being in the top four (where he’s currently listed on the Bills’ depth chart). On the less obvious group, Tim Settle Jr., Taiwan Jones, and Siran Neal would be locks if I had to wager. ![]() Not letting him play still seems like their mind might be made up, but in which direction?Įveryone in the first group should make the team or be injury stashed if I had to wager. The rookie defensive end also shows no injuries that I can find, but wasn’t allowed to hit the field and show what he could do. Kingsley Jonathan-This one is a bit odd.He’s less utilized for depth, but has appeared in games for Buffalo. Tyler Matakevich-Our third special teams player, Matakevich usually leads the team in snaps.While Neal is also a special teams mainstay, he’s also been a significant depth piece on Sunday. Siran Neal-Another one with no injuries noted.The Bills are very familiar with Jones so there’s a decent shot here as well that Buffalo has already made up their mind for the special teams ace. Taiwan Jones-Similar to Settle, there’s nothing to suggest Jones was hurt.It’s also possible the Bills have made up their mind on Settle and wanted to see other players compete. It’s possible Settle was dealing with an injury but I couldn’t find any mention of one. ![]() Tim Settle Jr.-Settle started in Week 1, where he was mostly surrounded by players expected to make the team. ![]()
